A CAT scanner is a cable avoidance tool (CAT) used to detect buried cables and pipes before excavation. GAP Hire Solutions CAT scanner hire range helps you locate underground services safely before your break ground. A CAT works in passive Power and Radio modes and pairs with a signal generator (genny) to trace a specific line, which is why most customers choose CAT and genny hire together. Our fleet includes the Radiodetection RD8100 CAT detector with StrikeAlert warnings, the RD820 cable and pipe locator with TruDepth depth display, and gCAT4+ locators with internal GPS/GNSS, supported by CAT4 and TX10 signal generators. A Mouse/Sonde and Flexitrace rod let you trace non-metallic pipes from 12mm. Where you need to map services in 2D or 3D, our ground penetrating radar includes the Leica DS2000 and DSX, MALA EL Core and Stream DP, and we also stock precision utility locators, metal detectors, and water pipe locators and leak detectors. Groundworkers, and civils, utilities and survey teams rely on cable detector hire to avoid service strikes. CAT scanner hire and cable avoidance tool hire are available from GAP Hire Solutions' nationwide depot network with fast delivery.
