Pigging Equipment

Pig Trackers and Pingers

Pig trackers and pingers pair a signal-emitting transmitter mounted on the pig with a hand-held receiver and signal-pickup wand. Receivers use both audio and visual indicators to alert the operator to the pig's presence, with adjustable signal strength and interference reduction. Use them to confirm a pig's progress during a run, or to find one that has stopped moving — land or water, above or below ground.
