The History of Laser-Grader
HUMBLE BEGINNINGS
In 1976 the Mini-Grader© was first designed and built by Leo Paradis. Mr. Paradis recognized the need for a compact machine that could operate in tight spaces, but still offer a level of grading accuracy. Over the first few years of its life, the Mini-Grader evolved through many engineering and mechanical improvements as it found it's footing working jobs in the local area.
LASER TECHNOLOGY FOR ACCURACY
In the early 80's, laser technology started to emerge as a useful tool for construction projects. Recognizing this trend and the possibility of increasing the overall accuracy , Mr. Paradis added laser calibration to his machine and changed the name to the Laser-Grader® in 1982.
THE LASER-GRADER TAKES OFF IN NORTH AMERICA
As the Laser-Grader® expanded to various construction sites and more people became familiar with machine, there was increasing pressure to put this machine into production. In 1987, Precision Manufacturing was incorporated with Leo Paradis, president, and the first sale of a Laser-Grader ® took place.
Introduced in New England and later expanded throughout the U.S.A. and Canada, the Laser-Grader was used to easily grade tennis courts, ice rinks, athletic fields, and floors for commercial and industrial buildings.
A NEW CHAPTER FOR THE COMPANY
In October 2003, P Ronci Machine Company acquired Precision Manufacturing and renamed the company Laser-Grader Mfg. As a family owned business with experience in manufacturing production machinery, Ronci was well positioned to improve efficiency, upgrade functionality and provide unparalleled service for customers.
Today's construction standards call for close tolerances, and designers expect the tolerances to be achieved with a laser-guided system. Technology for precise grading is now available and affordable, and as a result, laser controlled grading is become a requirement in sub-surface preparation.
