Find the solution that fits the work you do, and let Topcon help make you more productive and more successful.
Trench & pipe alignment
Topcon utility pipe lasers provide exactly what you need to work to a straight line, at a given slope. Dig your trench, place your bedding and set your pipe all with the same bright, accurate beam. An auto level helps make sure the pipe laser is set up correctly to required elevation, and the laser does the rest to guide you to success.
Green beam for additional brightness

Topcon pioneered the green-beam laser to give you a brighter, sharper beam that's easier to see and work with. Work over longerstretches with confidence, and work even in full sunlight without losing your reference, making the green-beam version of this workhorse laser pay for itself quickly.
Trench excavation
Excavators digging trenches can use some help to dig to the right slopes. The Topcon solution not only assists the operator in doing a perfect job, but also keeps the grade-checker out of the trench. Use the laser to establish the reference elevation and slope, and the machine-mounted sensors track the boom, stick and bucket movement, so you can see your bucket teeth on screen in relation to final grade. No more re-work! You get perfect slope every time.
Simple, yet powerful
Topcon’s 2D Excavator indicate system provides in-the-cab machine and cutting edge location in an affordable package. It allows creation of multiple elevation/slope designs right in the cab as well as allows multiple elevations, slopes and complex designs to be cut continuously – without resetting the machine, laser or wait for a surveyor putting elevation stakes on site.
Keep direction
The X-32 features a Windows based control box – fully upgradeable to GNSS when time comes round. Tilt bucket or machine turning are no issue at all. With bucket sensors and compass you’ll have the industry’s most advanced 2D laser indicate system.
