Product Information

Full details

The Stabila 5m Telescopic Levelling Rod is designed for construction professionals and land surveyors who require high-precision height measurements over long distances. Featuring a robust anodised aluminium frame and dual-sided scales for versatile readings, it excels in demanding field environments. While its professional-grade construction ensures long-term accuracy, users should note that its 500cm full extension requires careful handling in high-wind conditions to maintain vertical stability during sight readings.

FAQs

What is the maximum height of this rod?

The Stabila Telescopic Levelling Rod extends to a maximum height of 500cm (5 metres).

How small can the rod get for storage?

It collapses to a transport height of 124cm, making it easy to store in most utility vehicles.

Does it come with a carrying bag?

The product includes the rod itself; check with your local supplier if a dedicated transport sleeve or bag is included in your specific kit.

Is the rod material rust-proof?

It is constructed from anodised aluminium, which provides excellent resistance to corrosion and environmental wear.

Can I use this with any rotary laser?

Yes, this rod is compatible with most standard rotary lasers and optical leveling instruments that utilize a standard rod interface.

Troubleshooting

Telescopic segments are sticking

Extend all sections fully, wipe with a dry cloth to remove dirt or debris, and ensure no grit is trapped in the sliding tracks.

Measurements seem inconsistent

Verify the rod is completely vertical and check that all telescoping locks are fully engaged at the specific markings.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight anodised aluminium frame for portability
  • Versatile dual-scale system (E-grade and mm)
  • Compact 124cm transport size fits easily in standard vehicles
  • Exceptional build quality designed for professional field use

Cons

  • Not intended for non-professional surveying tasks
  • Requires manual locking verification to prevent slippage
  • Lengthy profile may be cumbersome in tight indoor spaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rod, pull the telescopic segments out until the desired height is reached, ensuring each section is securely locked in place. Always verify that the rod is perfectly plumb (vertical) using a standard rod bubble level attachment if available. The rod is compatible with most standard tripod-mounted optical levels and rotary lasers. To maintain the tool, wipe down the aluminium segments with a clean, dry cloth after every use to prevent grit from entering the sliding channels. Store the rod in a dry, protected environment when not in use, and avoid placing heavy objects on top of it, which could cause the aluminium to bend or lose its telescopic functionality.
