Spectra 010536-99 Carrying Case for LR30, LR50, LR60 Series Machine Receivers

Overview

The Spectra 010536-99 Carrying Case delivers factory-engineered protection for your LR30, LR50, and LR60 series machine receivers. When you've invested in precision laser receiving equipment that can cost thousands of dollars, protecting that investment during transport and storage becomes mission-critical. This isn't a generic foam-lined box—it's a purpose-built protective solution designed by Spectra Precision engineers who understand exactly what these sensitive instruments need to survive the rigors of construction site transportation.

Machine receivers contain delicate optical sensors and electronic components that enable grade control accuracy to within fractions of an inch. A single impact during transport can throw off calibration, create alignment issues, or damage sensor arrays—problems that lead to costly downtime and recalibration expenses. The Spectra 010536-99 addresses these vulnerabilities with custom-molded interior compartments that cradle your receiver securely, impact-resistant exterior construction that absorbs shocks and drops, and weatherproof sealing that keeps moisture and dust away from sensitive electronics.

Available exclusively through Express Tools at $125, this carrying case represents a smart insurance policy for contractors running excavators, dozers, motor graders, and other earthmoving equipment with laser-guided grade control systems. Whether you're moving receivers between job sites daily or storing them between projects, this case ensures your equipment arrives ready to work—maintaining the precision that keeps projects on grade and on schedule.

Job Applications

• Multi-Site Excavation Contractors: When your crews move between residential developments, commercial sites, and municipal projects daily, receivers need protection during vehicle transport. This case prevents the vibration damage and impact shocks that occur when equipment shifts in truck beds or service vehicles, ensuring your grade control system maintains calibration from site to site.
• Equipment Rental Operations: Rental companies cycling machine receivers through different customers and applications need protection that survives frequent handling by various operators. The case's durable construction withstands the increased wear of rental circulation while presenting equipment professionally to customers who expect well-maintained technology.
• Long-Distance Equipment Mobilization: Moving dozers and excavators to remote projects or across state lines subjects receivers to extended transport vibration and potential handling by multiple parties. This case provides the robust protection needed when equipment travels hundreds of miles in lowboy trailers or experiences freight handling at equipment yards.
• Seasonal Storage Between Projects: Contractors in regions with seasonal construction cycles need to protect idle equipment during winter months or slow periods. The case's moisture-resistant design prevents humidity damage and dust accumulation during warehouse storage, ensuring receivers emerge from off-season storage fully functional and calibration-ready.
• Grading Subcontractors with Shared Equipment: Companies that deploy receivers across multiple machines or swap equipment between crews require organized protection that prevents mix-ups and damage. The case keeps receivers identified, protected, and ready for quick deployment to whichever machine needs laser guidance for the next phase of work.
• Machine Control System Maintenance: Service technicians and calibration specialists transporting receivers to and from equipment for installation, troubleshooting, or recalibration need professional protection that reflects the precision of the work. This factory case ensures the receiver's condition remains constant between removal and reinstallation, eliminating transport as a variable in diagnostic work.

FAQ

Will this case fit all three receiver models (LR30, LR50, and LR60) simultaneously?

The case is designed to carry one receiver at a time, with foam inserts that accommodate any of the three compatible models. The custom-molded interior adjusts to the specific dimensions of whichever LR-series receiver you're transporting, providing a secure fit whether you're carrying an LR30, LR50, or LR60. If you need to transport multiple receivers simultaneously, you would need multiple cases.

Does this case provide adequate protection for air freight shipping?

While the case offers excellent protection for ground transport and normal handling, air freight involves additional variables including cargo hold pressure changes and commercial freight handling standards. For air shipping, we recommend placing this case inside additional packaging with clear "Fragile - Precision Instruments" labeling. The case itself provides the primary impact and moisture protection, but supplementary packaging helps ensure proper handling by freight personnel.

Can I store the receiver in this case long-term, or should I remove it between uses?

You can safely store receivers in the case long-term, and many contractors prefer this method as it keeps equipment organized and protected. However, if storing for extended periods (several months), remove batteries from the receiver to prevent potential corrosion from battery leakage. Store the case in a climate-controlled environment when possible to avoid extreme temperature fluctuations that could affect both the receiver electronics and the case materials.

Is this case TSA-approved for airline carry-on or checked baggage?

The case dimensions typically allow it to be checked as standard luggage on most airlines, though size restrictions vary by carrier. It's not designed as carry-on luggage due to its dimensions. When flying with precision equipment, we recommend checking current TSA guidelines and your specific airline's policies. Consider adding a "Fragile Equipment" tag and arriving early to request careful handling. Some contractors also photograph the equipment before packing as documentation of pre-flight condition.
