Deep Asset Detection: Schonstedt Magnetic Locators at Contractor Essentials

Contractor Essentials is proud to supply Schonstedt, the world leader in high-performance magnetic locating technology. While standard pipe and cable locators are designed for energised services, Schonstedt instruments are specialised for finding ferrous (iron and steel) objects buried deep underground, underwater, or under snow. For surveyors, civil contractors, and utility locators, a Schonstedt locator is the essential tool for finding "un-traceable" assets.

From property markers and survey stakes to manhole covers and deep-buried storage tanks, our Schonstedt range is engineered to provide pinpoint accuracy where other locators fail.

The Industry Standard: Schonstedt Magnetic Locators

Schonstedt instruments use highly sensitive "fluxgate" magnetometers to detect the magnetic field of ferrous objects, ignoring non-magnetic materials like aluminium, copper, or brass.

• Schonstedt Maggie: Often cited as the best magnetic locator on the market, the Maggie combines the best features of the GA-52Cx and GA-92XT. It features a high-sensitivity display and clear audio output, making it perfect for finding deep survey pins and valve boxes.

• Schonstedt Spot: A sleek, ultra-portable locator designed for professionals who need high performance in a lightweight package. Spot is perfect for rapid sweeps to find property markers and manhole covers.

• Schonstedt GA-92XTD: The choice for field technicians who need a rugged, extendable design. This unit can be retracted for easy storage in a tool kit and extended for maximum depth penetration and ergonomic use in the field.

Precision Locating in Challenging Environments

Schonstedt tools are built for the rigours of the Australian field, offering unmatched durability and simple, one-handed operation.

• Deep-Buried Detection: Schonstedt locators are capable of detecting iron pipes and steel casings at depths far exceeding standard electromagnetic locators.

• Audio & Visual Feedback: Featuring high-contrast LCD screens and variable-pitch audio signals that intensify as you move closer to the target, allowing for "blind" locating in thick brush or long grass.

• Rugged & Weatherproof: Designed with high-impact materials and water-resistant housings, ensuring your locator remains operational in rain, mud, and dust.

The Surveyor’s Edge

At Contractor Essentials, we understand that finding a lost property pin or a buried valve can be the difference between a productive day and a costly delay. Schonstedt locators provide the reliability and "search-and-find" efficiency that professionals have trusted for over 50 years. By adding a Schonstedt to your utility locating kit, you ensure your team is equipped to find every asset on the site, regardless of whether it carries a signal.
