Transmitter housings
Side-load housings machined from heat-treated alloy steel — precision sonde cavities for the most common locating systems, with the thread connections used on compact HDD rigs.
Swap or check the transmitter in seconds without breaking the drill string — the everyday choice for soil bores.

A housing has one job: protect the transmitter and hold it dead straight behind the bit. Ours are machined from heat-treated alloy steel with universal slots that fit both DigiTrak and Subsite 15″ transmitters. Side-load models let you swap the sonde without breaking the string; the end-load rock housing keeps a closed, stronger body for hard ground.
