The Z-23 is the world’s first and only stand-on zero-turn laser grading machine, with accuracy plus-or-minus an eighth of an inch! (0.125 inch, 3.175mm) This patented, fully automatic laser grading system delivers unprecedented affordability and finish-grade accuracy to the sports turf and flatwork industries. The Z-23 has a dramatically smaller and lighter footprint than other laser grading machines, enabling laser finish-grading in tight areas and on materials where over compaction of the soil is unacceptable.
The hydraulic system on the Z-23 can be built with a manual-operation exclusive or manual/laser-ready configuration. The manual-operation exclusive build is not upgradable after initial factory-build. The laser-ready build configuration can be operated manually without the use of the separately purchased laser electronics should an operator not have them available.
The available machine-side laser electronics package transforms the Z-23 into an automated laser grading machine. This system is perfectly matched and pre-programmed for plug-and-play operation.
We offer a range of transmitters, tripods, grade rods, and other laser system accessories to suit the requirements for your job. The Z-23 is also able to be paired with almost any flat, single, or dual-slope laser transmitter you may already own.
