GARRETT METAL DETECTORS

About GARRETT METAL DETECTORS

Garrett Metal Detectors is a manufacturer of metal detection and security screening equipment. The company was founded in 1964 in Garland, Texas, and has since become a recognized name in the design and production of walk-through metal detectors, handheld detectors, and related accessories. Garrett holds multiple patents in metal detection technology and has supplied equipment to security, law enforcement, and industrial customers globally. The product line includes the Paragon and PD 6500i series of walk-through metal detectors, which are used for personnel screening in airports, government buildings, event venues, and industrial facilities. These units feature multiple detection zones—33 or 66—to help pinpoint the location of metallic objects on a person. The Paragon models measure 87 in x 37 in x 23 in or 87 in x 35 in x 23 in, depending on configuration, and provide sound alerts. The PD 6500i offers 33 zones and is battery operated, allowing flexible placement. Both series comply with a range of standards, including CE, FCC, NIJ-0601.02, and TSA requirements, as indicated by the product specifications. In addition to walk-through detectors, Garrett produces handheld wands, rechargeable battery kits, belt holders, leather belt loop harnesses, and networking devices such as wireless synchronization modules. The wireless sync module (MPN 1168800) enables communication between compatible consoles and the detector, supporting remote monitoring and zone indication. These accessories support the operation and maintenance of the primary detection equipment. 3G Electric supplies Garrett Metal Detectors products as part of its industrial equipment catalog. The product range includes standard walk-through metal detectors, handheld detectors, and accessories such as the rechargeable battery kit (110V), belt holder, and leather belt loop harness. 3G Electric serves plant engineers, maintenance managers, and procurement specialists who require metal detection equipment for security screening, loss prevention, and industrial process applications. The catalog provides detailed specifications, including detection zones, dimensions, power requirements, and compliance standards, to support technical evaluation and procurement. 3G Electric ships globally, and the Garrett line is available for order through the 3G Electric platform. For technical buyers, the key considerations include detection sensitivity, zone count, alarm type (sound or light), power source (corded or battery), and compliance with relevant standards. Garrett walk-through detectors are available with Euro plugs and other regional configurations. The PD 6500i and Paragon models are designed for high-traffic screening environments where accurate and reliable detection is required. Accessories such as the wireless sync module and rechargeable battery kits extend the functionality and uptime of the detection systems. 3G Electric provides access to these products with specification data and support for integration into existing security or industrial systems. The Garrett product family is suitable for applications in aviation security, correctional facilities, courthouses, event security, and manufacturing plants where metal contamination or unauthorized metallic objects must be detected. The equipment is built to operate continuously in demanding environments, with battery options for locations lacking immediate power access. 3G Electric maintains inventory and provides quotation support for Garrett Metal Detectors products, enabling procurement teams to specify the correct model and accessories for their screening requirements.
