MACHINETECH Appoints New Dealer to Support RODRADAR Expansion in the UK
Machinetech has appointed Plantec Survey Solutions as its official RodRadar dealer for the North of England, strengthening regional support for underground detection technology.
At Plantec, we’re delighted to share that Machinetech has appointed us as the official RodRadar dealer for the North of England.
For us, this is an exciting step forward. It strengthens how we support customers across the region with cutting-edge underground detection technology and gives contractors better local access to RodRadar solutions.
We bring deep experience across surveying and construction, and we’re proud to represent the RodRadar range with the service and technical support our customers expect from us.
We’re looking forward to working closely with Machinetech as we continue to grow RodRadar adoption and help more teams excavate with safer, real-time underground insight.
Why RodRadar matters on site
At Plantec, we focus on practical technology that improves safety and productivity in the real world. RodRadar’s patented Live Dig Radar® (LDR) does exactly that by integrating ground-penetrating radar directly into the excavator bucket and giving operators automatic, real-time alerts during excavation.
The solution combines:
- LDR Excavate™ — the radar-enabled digging bucket
- LDR Visualize™ — an in-cab display that provides clear live alerts
Together, these tools help crews work more confidently around critical buried infrastructure, including power, communications and fibre, water, wastewater, oil and gas services.
What this means for our customers
As underground networks become more congested, we know customers need safer, smarter excavation workflows without adding complexity on site.
By becoming RodRadar’s dealer for the North of England, we can now provide local access to the technology, backed by the support, guidance and implementation expertise we provide at Plantec.
