Subsite launches M10 beacon for underground utility installation
Contractors can more easily and reliably run short shots of fiber lines and other underground utilities using the new M10 HDD guidance beacon from Subsite. The M10 beacon is designed for use with compact Ditch Witch horizontal directional drills (HDDs) like the JT5 and small drills from other manufacturers.
The M10 beacon has a diameter of less than 1 inch, one of the smallest beacons on the market. Its compact design allows contractors to do short-run jobs, like fiber drops to homes, using a smaller bit size on their compact machine. This can help contractors keep turf undisturbed and produce less cuttings or other waste on jobsites.
Subsite also built industry-best durability into the M10 beacon. With design features like an epoxied antenna, the beacon offers superior durability across numerous projects, helping contractors stay productive and efficient.
“The M10 beacon addresses a need in the market for a smaller beacon to run short lines under yards, roads and sidewalks,” said Braxton Smith, product manager for Subsite. “Combining this small, durable beacon with a compact or mini drill creates the perfect pairing for contractors to complete these jobs efficiently, reliably and with less waste.”
The M10 beacon has an operating depth of up to 55 ft and comes with a standard warranty of one year or 350 hours. As part of the Marksman HDD Guidance System, it also offers time-saving benefits like automatic beacon-to-tracker connections.
