From their headquarters in Kearneysville, West Virginia Schonstedt continues the legacy of founder, Erick O. Schonstedt. For over sixty years, the company has been building its reputation with professional surveyors who have learned to trust Schonstedt quality and engineering.

What’s the Difference between the Schonstedt Loki Pipe & Cable Locator Contractor Kit and Loki Pipe & Cable Locator Utilities Kit?

For contractors and construction crews looking for a lower-cost and more user-friendly option, the Loki offers a high-quality alternative. Even with a lower cost, the Loki still offers new and innovative features and is designed for making quick sweeps of large areas to locate and protect underground pipe and cable.

Both models feature Dual Mode which allows for a simultaneous search for both transmitter and power signals. They also offer the ShallowAlert audio and visual warning system that alerts the operator when a pipe or cable is detected less than twelve inches deep. The NoiseDetect feature, also found on both models compensates for strong signals from power mains or substations and manages the signal appropriately.
