Key Features
Fast Grade Readings The simplified plus/minus scale is built for quick cut and fill checks when you are running a laser receiver, so you spend less time doing math and more time moving dirt. Receiver Slide Carriage Slide carriage receiver bracket mount lets you fine tune height quickly and set angles for slope lasers without fighting the rod. Stabila 07469 Hi-Lo Elevation Rod This is an elevation rod designed for grade and elevation measurements with construction lasers. Imperial and metric scales cover crews that bounce between prints and site conditions.
Overview
The Stabila 07469 Hi-Lo Elevation Rod (Model 07469) is a two-piece aluminum elevation rod built for reading grade and elevation when you are working with a construction laser and receiver. This is an elevation rod designed for measuring height differences to grade on jobs like concrete, site work, and layout where quick, repeatable readings matter.
The big win with this rod is the simplified plus/minus scale system. Paired with a laser receiver, you can read how far you are above or below grade without stopping to translate numbers, which is exactly what slows crews down when they are checking multiple points in a pour or along a trench line.
It is built as an aluminum two-piece rod for jobsite durability and easier transport than a single long stick. When you are in and out of a truck all day or moving between stakes, that two-piece layout is the difference between a rod that gets used and one that stays leaning against the gang box.
The slide carriage receiver bracket mount is made for quick fine tuning. You can bump the receiver height precisely, lock it down, and keep moving. It also supports setting angles for slope lasers, which helps when the work is not dead flat, like drainage, ramps, or runs that need fall.
A built-in level vial helps you hold the rod square to grade, so your receiver readings stay consistent. That matters most when you are checking grades solo or working in wind where a rod wants to lean and throw off the number.
This rod uses both imperial and metric scales, making it a solid fit for mixed crews and prints. If you are doing layout, flatwork, excavation, or grade checking and already rely on a laser receiver, this is the kind of accessory that makes the whole setup faster and less error-prone.

Grade checks are about speed and repeatability. The Hi-Lo rod is set up so you can walk points, grab a reading, and move on without babysitting the setup.
- Simplified plus/minus scale system for quick distance-to-grade readings with a laser receiver
- Built-in level vial helps keep the rod at 90 degrees to grade for consistent numbers
Receiver Mount That Fine Tunes Fast
The slide carriage bracket mount is for the real world: quick adjustments, lock it down, and keep your workflow moving.
- Slide carriage receiver bracket mount for quick fine tuning
- Allows setting angles for slope lasers
Two-Piece Rod for Transport and Durability
Aluminum construction keeps it tough without feeling like you are hauling scaffold around. The two-piece build stores easier and sets up quickly when you get to the point.
- Aluminum two-piece elevation rod
- Imperial and metric scales for mixed crews and prints
Clean Readings in Tight Work Areas
When you are working around forms, posts, or existing structure, you want an elevation rod that is easy to hold plumb and easy to read, even when you are half twisted in a corner.
- Built-in level vial helps keep the rod square to grade
- Inch graduations: 1/8 in for readable increments

Pro Tip
When you are chasing grade, keep an eye on the built-in level vial before you lock your receiver reading. A slight lean can change your number, especially when you are stretching the rod out near max height.
Tool Nut’s Take
Tool Nut’s Take
Stabila 07469 Hi-Lo Elevation Rod: built for fast grade checks
A practical elevation rod that helps you read above and below grade quickly when you are running a laser and receiver.
- Who it’s for: Concrete crews, excavators, and anyone doing site layout who already uses a laser receiver.
- Why it stands out: Plus/minus scale system, slide carriage fine adjustment, and a built-in vial that keeps readings honest.
- Worth knowing: This is an accessory rod. You still need your laser and a compatible receiver to do the measuring.
Common Questions
