Making Locating Easier for the Surveying Industry

Are you responsible for mapping of buried utilities, or need to pinpoint corner markers or property pins for plats and surveys? Schonstedt offers both magnetic locators and pipe and cable locators to detect ferrous objects, along with water, sewer, electrical, telecommunication or gas lines; on private property or for a subsurface utility engineering (SUE) project.

Magnetic Locators detect buried ferrous objects including markers, pins, PK nails, steel enclosures, reinforced tanks, vaults, pipe joints, valve and curb boxes (shut-off valves) up to 15 feet deep. Magnetic locators react to the outline of a ferrous metal object to pinpoint its location with precision. We offer a choice of three models: GA-52Cx (audio), GA-72Cd (audio and display) and GA-92XT (audio or audio/display), a more portable model. The GA-52Cx is the preferred choice of surveyors around the world. The GA-92XT allows for hands-free use (holstered). Both are backed with a Schonstedt 7-year warranty.

Combination Kits

Magnetic and Pipe & Cable Locator Kits - MPC kits combine the best of both worlds while saving time & effort — all in one convenient hard-case for limited storage areas. Consisting of an XTpc utility locator and a GA-92XTd magnetic locator, these kits detect and locate all objects described above as well as those transmitting at 512 Hz. The MPC-800 kit comes with an 82 kHz transmitter and receiver — best for tracing gas, water and sewer pipelines. The MPC-300 kit comes with a 33 kHz transmitter and receiver — best for tracing electrical and telecommunication cables. The MPC-500 kit comes with an 512 Hz receiver only — best for pinpointing 512 Hz sources such as inspection cameras, boring systems and mini-sondes (beacons or moles) attached to duct rodders, plumber snakes or fish tape.

Pipe & Cable & Sonde locator The PCS-800 combines the versatility of the XTpc-82 utility locator along with a choice of 512 Hz sonde (beacon or mole). A great tool for water/sewer crews, construction & excavation contractors and home service professionals needing to trace various utilties and non-metal sewer pipes.

For non-metal pipes
Schonstedt also offers a range of sondes (aka mini-transmitters; moles or beacons) that work with our pipe and cable locators for even greater accuracy through empty pipes. Click here to learn more about Schonstedt sondes.
