Hilti PR 3-HVSG Green Rotating Laser

Hilti PR 3-HVSG Green Rotating Laser Application

Available now is the new Hilti PR 3-HVSG Green Rotating Laser, an addition to their rotating laser series. Just last August, Kenny reviewed Hilti’s PR 30-HVS with PR 90 Automatic Tripod, giving it a solid 5 stars in build quality and performance. With the same basic design, Hilti’s new offering looks to expand on that build quality for applications that have shorter range requirements.


The Hilti Green Rotating Laser is engineered with shock absorbing casing intended to endure rugged conditions. It features four shock-absorbing handles and an advanced internal damping system, which safeguards the system from drops at standard working tripod height (3 ft./1m) to free fall (4 ft./1.5m). At World of Concrete, Hilti employees were knocking this family of lasers over left and right to show the toughness, much to the surprise of the unsuspecting passerby.

The new green rotating laser has a visible range of up to 100 ft. This range is extended to a diameter of 492 ft using Hilti’s laser receiver. Accuracy is listed at +/- 1/16 inch at 33 feet.

“Green is the wave (length) of the future. Okay, my inner geek showed there. Green lasers stays visible to the human eye at longer distances than red. The trade-off is that green is a little more expensive and drains the battery more quickly. Even with higher consumption, you should still get 16 hours of run time out of the new Hilti PR 3-HVSG.”
