RuxWorks, LLC launched the GPS POLE TRANSPORTER™ product line designed to assist surveyors with GPS pole transportation and productivity. Each of the 3 models (Truck Bed (PT-100), Rear Wheel Well (PT-200) and Receiver Hitch (PT-300)) mount GPS poles and attached equipment to the surveying vehicle in easy-to-view locations. GPS POLE TRANSPORTER products reduce the risk of damage to sensitive and expensive survey equipment, secure to vehicle during movement in the field and eliminate re-initializing throughout the day - saving valuable time.
The Truck Bed TRANSPORTER (PT-100) provides safe and stable GPS pole transportation for pick-up trucks in the field. Mounting to the truck bed behind the cab, the PT-100 holds a GPS pole for mobile readings or for easy transportation across a job site. Brackets on truck bed stay permanently mounted and the pole holder with clamp easily detaches for storage in the vehicle. In use and storage, the PT-100 measures 38” in length. Product features: GPS Pole clamp with a spring loaded soft rubber jaw, compatible with all GPS poles, GPS pole accessories (level bubble, data collector, bi-pod, etc.), rust / scratch resistant black powder coated steel construction, wire/cable/wireless/ Bluetooth® compatible, robotic tracking system compatible and ambidextrous design is visible at all times. MSRP $365.00.
The Rear Wheel Well TRANSPORTER (PT-200) attaches to the wheel well of all SUVs, vans and pick-up trucks. The PT-200 mounts to the frame through the rear wheel well via a proprietary frame clamping system. There is no interference with wheel clearance, as the bracket on the vehicle frame stays permanently attached. The pole holder with clamp easily detaches for storage in the vehicle. In use and storage, the PT-200 measures 38” in length. Product features: GPS Pole clamp with a spring loaded soft rubber jaw, compatible with all GPS poles, GPS pole accessories (level bubble, data collector, bi-pod, etc.), rust / scratch resistant black powder coated steel construction, wire/cable/wireless/ Bluetooth® compatible, robotic tracking system compatible and ambidextrous design is visible at all times. MSRP $375.00
The Receiver Hitch TRANSPORTER (PT-300) secures to any 2” inch receiver hitch on SUVs, Vans and Pick-up Trucks with no installation or tools required. The PT-300 has a hinge mechanism which allows the unit to collapse onto itself for easy storage. In storage, the PT-300 measures 38” in length. Product features: GPS Pole clamp with a spring loaded soft rubber jaw, compatible with all GPS poles, GPS pole accessories (level bubble, data collector, bi-pod, etc.), rust / scratch resistant black powder coated steel construction, wireless/ Bluetooth® compatible, robotic tracking system compatible and ambidextrous design is visible at all times. MSRP $395.00
GPS poles are used by surveyors repeatedly throughout the day to collect valuable data. The constant movement and resetting of the GPS equipment takes up productive job time as well as puts the equipment at risk for damage. The GPS POLE TRANSPORTER makes every job more productive and decreases the risk of damage to GPS pole equipment and accessories. The cost of replacing this expensive equipment could be as much as $20,000.
