Start With The RD8200 Series For Professional Pipe And Cable Locating.
RD-Palmer prioritises the Radiodetection RD8200 family for advanced locating: precise tracing, target confidence, survey-grade mapping options and field evidence for crews who cannot afford a wrong mark.
A Strike Is Expensive. A Bad Mark Is Worse.
Underground networks are crowded, records are incomplete and interference is common. RD-Palmer helps you choose the correct Radiodetection workflow for avoidance, precision tracing, mapping and compliance.
Prevent Utility Strikes
C.A.T, Genny and u-LOCATE avoidance tools help crews scan before excavation, reduce cable strikes and build safer digging habits on site.
Lead With RD8200 Precision
The RD8200 series is the flagship precision locator range for difficult utility work, using sensitive signal processing, current direction, depth and current readout to follow the target line.
Map In One Operation
Survey-grade locator options capture position while locating, so teams can build utility maps without sending a second crew across the same route.
Prove The Work
Usage logging, eCert, RD Manager Online and mapping exports help supervisors review field practice, training needs and project evidence.
From Pre-Dig Scan To GIS-Ready Evidence.
The strongest locating workflow combines the right locator, a clean transmitter connection, disciplined handling and a record of what happened in the field. RD8200 series locators are the core recommendation for advanced work, with avoidance tools and accessories supporting the same safe-dig workflow.
RD8200 SeriesOne Repeatable Method For Safer Groundwork.
Use avoidance tools to reduce risk, precision locators to confirm the route, then mapping tools to keep the data alive after the job.
Sweep before breaking ground
Cable avoidance tools detect power, radio and transmitter-applied signals before trenching, coring, fencing or landscaping.
Apply a clean signal
Transmitters, clamps, live plugs and sondes energise the target so the crew can trace the intended asset instead of nearby noise.
Pinpoint depth and direction
Precision locators confirm route, depth, current and orientation so the correct pipe or cable is marked on the surface.
Capture and export the record
Mapping-capable systems add GPS/GNSS position and export field records for GIS, as-built updates and client handover.
Built For Every Locate, From First Sweep To Survey Grade.
Put the RD8200 series first for professional locating, then add the right supporting tools: cable avoidance, transmitters, clamps, sondes, RF marker location, metal detection and accessories.
RD8200 Series
The priority range for advanced pipe and cable locating, built for speed, accuracy and reliable performance in congested or noisy corridors.
RD8200SG
The RD8200 family workflow extended into combined locating and mapping with mobile-device workflows and correction-service flexibility.
C.A.T & Genny
Fast pre-dig sweeps for construction, utilities, road works and maintenance crews.
Sondes, markers & magnetic
Trace drains and ducts, re-find marker balls, and detect iron or steel assets when EM locating is not enough.
Locate Across Water, Power, Telecom, Gas And Civil Works.
Choose the equipment around the asset, soil conditions, access constraints and the quality of record you need at handover.

Questions, Answered
What is the difference between a locator and a cable avoidance tool (CAT)?+
A CAT helps you detect and avoid buried services before digging to prevent strikes. A precision locator pinpoints the exact position and depth of a specific pipe or cable for survey and asset work.
Do you provide operator training and calibration?+
Yes — RD-Palmer is an authorised service centre offering operator training from basic to competency level, plus in-house calibration and repair from our Kuala Lumpur facility.
Can I rent a locator before buying?+
Absolutely. We offer short and long-term rental so you can match equipment to a project or trial it before purchase.
