HLA Attachments SLG84 84-Inch Skidsteer Laser Grader is a precision-grading attachment designed for skid steers and bidirectional operation. Its push-pull design allows the operator to grade while travelling forward or in reverse, helping maintain productivity when levelling construction sites, preparing surfaces or completing other demanding grading work. Hydraulic cross-slope control, an oscillating front axle and pneumatic swivel wheels help the grader follow changing ground conditions, while the universal laser mast mount supports a grade-control setup. HLA Attachments states that the SLG84 can consistently level within 1/4 inch of the target grade.
The SLG84 has a nominal working width of 84 inches and uses a push-pull configuration that permits grading in both directions. This bidirectional capability can reduce unnecessary repositioning by allowing material to be worked during forward and reverse passes. Reversible cutting edges provide two usable orientations and support ongoing grader maintenance.
Cross-slope adjustment is powered by two 2-1/2 inch by 6 inch hydraulic cylinders. These cylinders allow the grader to control side-to-side slope rather than being limited to a level plane, making the attachment suitable for applications where a defined cross fall is required. A hydraulic control valve is included with the grader.
An oscillating front axle helps the attachment respond to uneven terrain while maintaining controlled contact with the work surface. Tapered roller bearings are used on the axle oscillation pivot, while removable shims help keep the main oscillation-pivot wear joint tight as the attachment is used.
The pneumatic swivel wheels are equipped with tapered roller bearings on the king pins. This arrangement supports smooth wheel articulation and allows the grader to track as the skid steer changes direction. Together, the wheeled axle, oscillating construction and hydraulic cross-slope system provide a stable platform for precision finish grading.
The HLA SLG84 includes a universal laser mast mount for integration with a suitable laser grading system. The manufacturer specifies consistent levelling within 1/4 inch of the target grade. Laser and grade-control electronics are not included, so the required electronic components must be supplied separately.
The SLG84 is designed for use with skid steers. Machine suitability should be confirmed with consideration for the attachment’s approximate 1,610-pound weight and the host machine’s operating capacity.
A hydraulic control valve is included. Required hydraulic flow and pressure are not specified by the manufacturer.
