Beacons for Electronic Guidance System

Ditch Witch beacons are as durable as they are dependable in providing HDD bore-path data. Rubber end caps, secure hardware battery contacts, and double springs on battery fittings provide better protection from shock and vibration, and enhance overall performance. Our most rugged beacon, the 88B, is reinforced with a shock-resistant composite housing, larger antenna, and stiffer battery springs to minimize intermittent signals.

Trac Management System

Planning a bore in advance saves time, money, and reduces complications. With Ditch Witch TMS Plus, a Windows®-based management tool, you can plan the bore, monitor its real-time progress, and print out a completed survey or as-built map when you're done.
