"This is great news for our customers,” says Ashtead’s NDT market manager Steve Drake. "The Silverwing products have several unique features and their inclusion in the Ashtead Technology fleet means that we are now able to offer motorised magnetic inspection equipment; the Scorpion for example, can inspect vertical, curved and even overhead surfaces.”

Designed for cost-effective  A and B-scan inspection on ferro-magnetic structures, the Scorpion is a dry-coupled UT crawler that connects with the UT Lite data acquisition instrument via a 30m umbilical cord. This removes the cost and safety issues associated with scaffolding or rope access.
