Bosch BT 160 Professional Aluminium Tripod, 5/8-inch Thread, 97-160cm Height

BT 160 Professional Stand

The Bosch BT 160 Tripod provides a stable and secure base for optical levels and rotation lasers on active construction sites. This heavy-duty aluminium stand supports high-precision surveying tasks with a universal 5/8-inch mounting thread for broad tool compatibility.

Built for the Job

Site supervisors and surveyors rely on this aluminium support for establishing grade and monitoring structural alignment. It performs consistently on uneven terrain where stability is paramount for accurate measurements. The pointed metal feet bite into soft soil, clay, or gravel to prevent shifting during operation. Contractors often face challenges with wind or vibration on busy sites, and the design of this frame minimizes these disturbances to ensure the laser line or optical crosshair remains steady. The flat-head design provides a wide platform for the base of the measuring device, reducing the risk of wobbling during 360-degree rotations.

• Transferring heights for foundation and excavation work.

• Setting benchmarks for drainage and roadway construction.

• Supporting rotation lasers for large-scale interior ceiling and partition installations.

On-Site & Workshop Notes

• Inspect the quick-clamp levers regularly to ensure they maintain high tension for safety on slopes.

• On polished surfaces, use rubber caps or a floor guide to prevent the metal points from slipping.

• Collapse the legs fully before securing the transport strap to avoid unnecessary strain on the hinge joints.

• The integrated circular vial is for rough leveling; always use the instrument’s internal system for final calibration.
