Ultra long-range laser scanning.

The Maptek UR3 mkII laser scanner is designed for survey applications across large open pit mines and excavation projects. It also supports monitoring of surface movement across highwalls, benches, ramps and tailings dams.

With a maximum range of 3500 m, the UR3 supports long-range survey and monitoring across large mining and civil environments. High accuracy, repeatability and integrated 147MP panoramic imagery support reliable capture, review and analysis.

UR3 can be mounted on a tripod or fixed bollard for in-pit survey, and deployed with the Maptek Drive Kit for mobile scanning to capture roads, ramps and highwalls from a moving vehicle.
