Proceq GS8000 lite
Giant Power in a Compact Design: The GPR for Urban Environments and Concrete
The Proceq GS8000 Lite is the agile and maneuverable version of the GS8000 series. Designed specifically for engineers and surveyors working on paved surfaces, this unit condenses all the power of Swiss technology into a lightweight, easy-to-transport chassis. It is the perfect tool when space is limited or when a quick scan is required on sidewalks and concrete floors.
The Same High-End SFCW Technology Don't be fooled by the name "Lite." This unit carries exactly the same Stepped Frequency Continuous Wave (SFCW) sensor as its big brother. This means you get the ultra-wide bandwidth (40 – 3440 MHz) to see shallow objects with millimeter clarity while simultaneously reaching great depths. All in a single pass, without changing antennas.
Design Optimized for Flat Surfaces The GS8000 Lite shines where large equipment gets in the way. Its low-profile design and compact wheels allow it to glide smoothly over asphalt, tiles, polished concrete, and building floors. It is incredibly easy to maneuver around streetlights, building corners, or inside narrow corridors.
Connectivity and Georeferencing Like the Pro version, it connects wirelessly to the iPad to visualize data in 3D in real-time. Although its design is more compact, it remains compatible with the MA8000 GNSS receiver (included in most kits) to georeference your findings with centimeter precision in clear urban environments.
Key Applications:
-
Concrete and Pavement Inspection: Detection of rebar, slab thickness, and voids under asphalt.
-
Urban Utilities: Mapping cables and pipes on sidewalks and paved streets.
-
Indoor Investigation: Scanning floors in industrial warehouses, storage facilities, or historical buildings.
-
Tight Spaces: Areas where a large off-road cart cannot turn or access.
Difference Between GS8000 Lite and GS8000 Pro
The key difference in choosing the Lite is portability and ground type.
While the Pro model is an off-road tank, the GS8000 Lite is a city sports car. The Lite features small, hard wheels, designed to roll with minimal friction on smooth surfaces (asphalt, cement). Its chassis is low, making it more stable on flat ground but unable to pass over large rocks or tall grass.
Additionally, the Lite is much easier to transport: it fits in the trunk of a small car with almost no disassembly and weighs less. However, it lacks the raised suspension and robust mounting for long GPS poles that the Pro has, so its use is focused on areas where the terrain is predictable and uniform.
