232-SP Series Heavy Duty Stands

The Really Tall Ones

Sometimes you really need to reach the sky with a stable metrology platform. Our 232-SP Series stands are made for such occasions. The 232-SP is available in three configurations whose working heights range from a minimum of 10' 2" (3.1 m) to as high as 27' 2" (8.3 m), depending upon the model. Stand height is measured from the floor to the top of the intermediate tube, on which all instrument mount accessories are attached. This height specification does not include the added height and range of any of our stand accessories or instrument adapters.


A wide variety of our stand adapters, slides, lifts, and various instrument mounts fit into the intermediate tube, which is outfitted with the same 2.825"-20 thread as the intermediate tube on our other, shorter stands. Refer to the chart below for the various stock options, or request your own custom variation.

Stands in this group are used to support all types of metrology instrumentation, and customers who use this stand need a great deal of stability in some very high places. For instance, some of our customers use them in high-bay satellite assembly facilities. Mobility around the shop floor is permitted using the casters (once the trivet "feet" are manually retracted) under the heavy-duty tribrach base. An air-check mechanism provides backup protection to prevent sudden drops of the instrument column in case the operator simultaneously releases the collar lock and main handle while disengaging the ratchet pawl.
