Rugged, Reliable Detection of Buried Ferrous Utilities
The Schonstedt GA-52Cx is the industry standard for detecting buried iron and steel objects with uncompromising precision. Trusted for decades in utility locating, construction, and municipal maintenance applications, the GA-52Cx uses magnetic gradient detection to quickly and accurately locate ferrous targets—without the complexity or fragility of more sensitive electronics. Built for tough field environments and engineered for accuracy, the GA-52Cx features a simple, analog interface and rugged housing designed to perform under harsh site conditions.
The GA-52Cx leverages Earth's natural magnetic field to detect anomalies caused by ferrous objects underground. Its two sensors are precisely spaced to read the ambient magnetic field in unison. When a magnetic gradient is detected—caused by a buried iron object—the locator emits a rising or falling pitch tone, alerting the operator.
Operators perform grid or X-pattern sweeps to zero in on the strongest signal point. The pitch intensifies as you approach the target, with greater sensitivity revealing smaller or deeper items. Unlike electromagnetic locators, this tool ignores aluminum, brass, and copper, reducing false positives and increasing efficiency on metallic-only jobs.
Field techs consistently rely on the GA-52Cx for its balance of simplicity, performance, and durability. With no screens to crack, no software to update, and no learning curve, it’s the go-to locator when uptime and dependability matter most.
If you're managing buried iron infrastructure—or simply need a locator that just works—this is the tool to trust.
Green Equipment Company proudly supplies the GA-52Cx to municipalities, contractors, and field service teams who demand reliable performance in all conditions.
