Questions
This hire pack helps you locate underground cables, pipes, and other utilities before digging, reducing the risk of damaging buried infrastructure.
The pack includes a Cable Avoiding Tool CAT4+ and a Signal Generator CAT4+, which work together to provide accurate and safe utility detection.
Using a locator prevents accidental strikes on buried services such as power lines, gas pipes, and water mains, keeping both you and the site safe.
The Signal Generator sends out a traceable signal through underground cables and pipes, helping the CAT4+ detect them more precisely - even if they don’t carry electricity.
StrikeAlert warns you when shallow utilities are detected close to the surface, helping you avoid damaging them during digging.
Yes, the CAT4+ includes a depth estimation function, allowing you to see how deep a utility is buried for safer and more efficient excavation.
It alerts the operator if the tool is being swung too much during use, ensuring more accurate readings and preventing false signals.
Yes, it’s straightforward to use with a clear display and simple controls, making it suitable for DIY users and professionals alike.
It can locate a wide range of utilities, including power cables, water pipes, gas lines, fibre optic cables, and telecoms cables.
Yes, the CAT4+ features dynamic overload protection, which filters out electrical noise for reliable detection even in busy environments.
You can use the CAT4+ alone for basic detection, but pairing it with the Signal Generator provides more accurate and deeper readings, especially for inactive cables or pipes.
Yes, it’s built with environmental protection to handle outdoor use and varying site conditions.
Yes, the onboard memory stores measurement logs that can be transferred to a computer for analysis or record-keeping.
It’s perfect for groundwork, fencing, landscaping, building foundations, or any project that involves digging into unknown ground.
Yes, HSS Training provides training courses that cover the safe and effective use of cable and pipe locators - ideal for anyone new to excavation safety.
