Garrett PD6500i – Search Arch or Knife Arch

Walk Through Metal Detectors (WTMD) or Search Arch units offer a full head to toe scan area and so can detect metallic objects concealed on any part of the body, from head to toe, on a single pass through.

The smart 33 zone detection grid pinpoints precisely where the detected object is on the person passing through the search arch while the indicator lights on the exit side of the archway show you whether the object is on the left, right or central vertical and at what height!

The sensitivity of the versatile MD PD6500i search arch can be set to pick up almost any metal object passing through it.  It can also be configured to pick up critical metal mass such as guns or knives but to ignore smaller items such as keys, to minimise false alarms in queue situations.

Garrett Super Wand

For smaller events and venues, we have the Super Wand, not cheap Chinese copies that are not as reliable or as efficient, this easy to use metal detector can find ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless-steel knives and weapons as well as detecting other metals.
