Radiodetection continues to expand its Cable Avoidance Tools range with the introduction of the Schonstedt u-LOCATE™ pipe and cable locator series to its global distribution network. Designed for versatility, the u-LOCATE simplifies utility detection for a wide range of applications.

The u-LOCATE is designed as an easy-to-use, rugged avoidance locator suitable for construction, plumbing, and utility maintenance work. It is intended as an all-industry tool for everyday utility checks before excavation.

Key features include:

  • Rapid detection of common buried utilities such as water, gas, power, and telecom lines.
  • An intuitive interface with left/right guidance arrows and depth estimation available at the touch of a button.
  • A lightweight, ergonomic build engineered to cope with demanding site conditions, including harsh weather and accidental drops.
  • A choice of models: the standard u-LOCATE (82 kHz) and the u-LOCATE+ with dual-frequency operation (33 kHz and 82 kHz) and 512Hz sonde capability for broader application coverage.
