MALÅ RoadCart

Introducing the RoadCart from MALÅ; a dedicated cart designed for high speed road measurements utilizing one or two shielded GPR antennas. The RoadCart was designed in cooperation with experienced road investigation specialists to ensure safe and optimal performance at high speeds.

The MALÅ RoadCart is constructed with a foldable fibreglass beam to simplify transportation and shipping. This construction also enable users to shorten the RoadCart beam when performing single antenna measurements.
The RoadCart is adjustable for optimal road clearance and various towing hook heights, thus offering a level and smooth ride for the antennas, even at high speed.

Special spring loaded fixings hold the antennas securely in place on the RoadCart beam, however, should the antenna strike an obstacle in the road during data collection, these mechanisms are designed to move the antenna upwards and backwards to minimize impact shock.

The MALÅ RoadCart is typically configured with one high frequency antenna (1.2, 1.6 or 2.3 GHz) and one lower frequency antenna (250, 500 or 800 MHz) allowing the user to gather information from a range of depths to include the entire road construction, i.e. pavement, supportive layers and base.

MALÅ recommends using the RoadCart with our Proffessional Explorer (ProEx) system. The ProEx is a dual channel system and can therefore operate two antennas simultaneously at high speed, making it perfectly compatible with optimal RoadCart antenna set-up.

For single antenna use, the RoadCart can also be used with Malå’s CX (using 1.2, 1.6 or 2.3GHz antenna) or X3M Control Unit (using 250, 500 or 800MHz antenna)
