Utility Locating Equipment

RIDGID® SeekTech® Locating Receivers

RIDGID locating receivers feature an easy-to-use visual mapping display that allows you to locate utility lines and sondes/beacons with confidence. Use with a SeeSnake® camera equipped with a sonde transmitter to locate the camera head during an inspection or use with a line transmitter to find buried utilities. These locators can also find flushable float sondes and remote transmitters attached to a push rod or drain cable.

RIDGID® SeekTech® SR-24 Locator with Bluetooth® & GPS

The SR-24 is a precision utility locating instrument with integrated GPS and Bluetooth® technology for easy integration with external data capture devices. The SR-24's omnidirectional antennas capture the complete signal field, making it easy to acquire the signal and trace its path. The receiver maps the utility's position and direction on its display, for an intuitive locating experience. For added confidence, audio and visual warnings notify the operator if the signal field shape is distorted, allowing for corrective action to prevent mismarking the utility's position.
