16' Alum Grade Pole (Tenths)

Overview

The 16' Aluminum Grade Pole in Tenths (06-816) is designed for precision elevation and grade measurement applications using optical, transit, and rotary laser levels.

Technical Features

• 5-Segment telescoping construction — extends from a compact 3 ft 9/16 in collapsed length to a full 16 ft working height, enabling transport and storage in confined spaces while reaching grade elevations required on most job sites.
• Aluminum construction — provides a lightweight yet structurally rigid pole body, reducing operator fatigue during extended field use without sacrificing stability during readings.
• Dual graduation scale (1/100 in and 1 ft) — allows readings in both fine decimal (tenths) increments and whole-foot intervals, supporting the precision demanded in surveying, grading, and construction layout work.
• White finish — maximizes contrast of graduation markings under varying field lighting conditions, improving sight-line readability at distance.
• Broad level-type compatibility — confirmed compatible with optical levels, transit levels, and rotary laser levels, including multiple Grainger-stocked instrument models, reducing the need for specialty rods across different instrument setups.

Applications

• Construction site grading and elevation control using optical or transit levels
• Land surveying requiring fine decimal (tenths) grade readings
• Rotary laser level setup and elevation transfer on active job sites
• Infrastructure layout where a compact collapsed length and full 16 ft range are both required
