Bosch BT Tripods

PRIMARY USES

1. Stable Mounting for Laser and Optical Levelling Tools
Primary Use: Professional tripods (available in BT 150, BT 160, and BT 300 HD models) used for stable, height-adjustable mounting of laser levels, optical levels, and surveying instruments. Essential for construction, surveying, and interior fit-out applications requiring precise tool positioning.
How it helps: For surveyors, electricians, plumbers, and construction crews, tripods provide a secure, vibration-free platform for levelling tools. The BT 150 offers compact, lightweight support for work heights from 55 to 157cm with a 1/4″ thread for line lasers and laser measures. The BT 160 provides robust aluminium construction for work heights from 97 to 160cm with a 5/8″ thread for heavier rotary lasers and optical levels. The BT 300 HD features heavy-duty aluminium construction with crank extraction for work heights from 122 to 295cm, ideal for large-scale exterior projects.
2. Versatile Application Across Different Tool Types
Primary Use: Provides compatibility with a wide range of Bosch measuring tools including line lasers, rotary lasers, point lasers, and optical levels.
How it helps: The BT 150 is compatible with combination/point alignment lasers (GCL 2-160, GCL 25, GPL series), line lasers (GLL series), and rotary lasers (GRL series). The BT 160 works with line lasers (GLL 55, GLL 100 G, GLL 3-50), rotary lasers (GRL4000, GRL300 HV, GRL400 H), and automatic optical levels (GOL 32, GOL 26). The BT 300 HD with its 5/8″ thread adapter is designed for heavy-duty use with larger rotary lasers and surveying instruments.

SECONDARY USES

1. Interior Fit-Out: The BT 150’s compact size and lightweight design make it ideal for indoor work, including suspended ceiling installation, partition wall alignment, and fixture positioning.
2. Exterior Surveying: The BT 300 HD’s extended height range (up to 295cm) and crank extraction mechanism are suited for site grading, foundation work, and road construction.
3. Point Transfer: The BT 150 includes a detachable mounting base, allowing quick connection to tools for transferring reference points across work areas.
4. Plumb Bob Attachment: The BT 160 includes a string hook for attaching a plumb bob, enabling vertical reference point transfer.
