Trimble introduces handheld laser distance meter for contractors

January 25, 2002—Trimble, a leading innovator of global positioning system technology, recently introduced the new Spectra Precision Laser HD360, a handheld distance measurement tool that delivers speed, accuracy, and safety to builders, engineers, and other construction-related contractors. According to the company, it is especially useful for measuring distances to hazardous and hard-to-reach locations such as those in high places, over obstacles, or in lift shafts.

The HD360 includes a data display screen and a six-button keypad. Using laser technology, it is capable of measuring distance, area, and volume, whether indoors or outdoors. The HD360’s accuracy is +/-3 mm or better, at ranges up to 60 meters.
