Promax Heavy Duty Fiberglass Survey Tripod

The ProMax is a premium, heavy-duty fiberglass tripod designed for maximum stability in high-vibration construction environments. Featuring a dual-locking mechanism that combines quick clamps with wing screws, it provides a rock-solid platform for high-precision total stations, robotic instruments, and GNSS receivers.

Dual Locking Clamping System: Combines quick-release clamps for rapid setup with wing screws for secondary security and maximum vibration resistance.
Heavy-Duty Fiberglass Legs: Provide a robust, non-conductive, and thermally stable frame that resists the harsh conditions of heavy civil engineering projects.
Large Machined Flat Head: Features a 15.2cm (6-inch) diameter with standard 5/8-11 threading to provide a secure and stable mounting surface for all survey instruments.
Replaceable Shoe Points: Are made from hardened steel and mounted on large die-cast aluminium shoes, ensuring a firm grip on both soft ground and hard concrete.

Heavy Duty Aluminium Survey Tripod

Full Description

The ProMax is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional surveyors and groundworks teams. Its construction features heavy-duty fiberglass legs that are inherently resistant to temperature-related expansion and contraction, ensuring consistent accuracy throughout the day. The primary strength of this tripod lies in its "Dual Lock" design; by utilizing both a positive-locking quick clamp and a traditional wing screw on each leg, it eliminates any potential for leg slip, even when supporting heavy high-precision hardware. The tripod is equipped with a large, flat head that has been precision-machined to ensure a perfectly level interface for the instrument. All metal hardware components are powder-coated for superior wear resistance against the elements. For ease of transport across the site, it includes an ergonomic carrying handle and a heavy-duty poly-webbing shoulder strap. With a working height of up to 183cm and a rugged design that meets ISO standards (12858-2-H), the ProMax is a durable investment for any UK site requiring absolute stability.

FAQs

What is the benefit of the “Dual Lock” system over a single clamp?

The dual lock system provides two layers of security-the quick clamp for speed and the wing screw for extra rigidity-effectively eliminating any risk of the legs slipping under heavy loads.

How heavy is the ProMax tripod?

The tripod weighs approximately 7.7kg, balancing the need for heavy-duty stability with portability for the operator.

What is the maximum working height of this tripod?

The ProMax extends to a maximum height of 183cm and collapses down to 119cm for easy storage and transport.

Is fiberglass better than aluminium for survey tripods?

Yes, fiberglass is more stable as it does not expand or contract as much with temperature changes and is better at dampening vibrations from heavy site machinery.

Can I hire this tripod from PQS Survey?

Yes, we offer heavy-duty tripods for hire at all of our UK depots.

What type of instruments is this tripod suitable for?

It is ideal for high-precision robotic total stations, scanners, and GNSS base stations where any movement or vibration would compromise the survey data.

Is the hardware resistant to rust?

All metal components are die-cast and powder-coated to provide a high level of resistance to corrosion and wear in wet UK site conditions.

Does it come with a carrying strap?

Yes, the ProMax includes a heavy-duty poly-webbing shoulder strap and an integrated ergonomic handle for comfortable carrying.

What size is the mounting thread on the head?

It uses the industry-standard 5-8-11 mounting thread, making it compatible with almost all survey instruments and laser levels.

Will the tripod work with any total station?

The ProMax tripod is compatible with all Topcon, Leica and Trimble robotic total stations.
