Lyft

Lyft® can scan through thick insulation, as well as aluminum, stainless steel weather jackets. It also benefits from a range of PECA, single-element PEC, and application-specific probes to support various applications.
• State-of-the-art portable and connected instrument
• Inspect through thick insulation and fireproofing
• Save on insulation removal costs
• Real-time imaging for instant results
• Unrivalled productivity with PECA
• Easy setup with SmartPULSE™ calibration
• Highest confidence with Tau-scan™ and PermTool™ advanced analysis tools
