Transporting surveying instruments
Total stations, 3D laser scanners, GNSS receivers and mobile surveying systems are compact, expensive and robustly built – but aligned. They travel to service, from rental into projects or between offices of a surveying firm.
What matters
- Hard cases
- The instruments have their own cases – the best transport packaging.
- Alignment
- Shocks can affect alignment and calibration; the service checks afterwards.
- Accessories
- Tripods, prisms, batteries and antennas travel as separate packages.
- Rental and projects
- Instruments are needed for projects – outbound and return with dates.

Questions and answers: Surveying instruments
How is a laser scanner transported?
In its hard case, firmly secured and handled with low shock.
Can rental instruments be collected from and returned to the rental company?
Yes, we plan outbound and return together, aligned with the project dates.
Does the instrument need checking after transport?
Your service or the manufacturer decides whether a check is needed. We do not check alignment.
