Every day, home inspectors, pest management technicians, plumbers, foundation contractors, waterproofers, and contractors use robots to inspect crawlspaces across the United States. These robots help them enter spaces with entry points where a human cannot fit. They also help users avoid surprises like animals (alive and dead) or mold while inspecting the underside of a home.
If you’re one of these professionals working under homes, you’ve seen more and more about these robots over the past few years. Whether that’s from online videos, at industry conferences like InterNACHI, or your friends (and competitors) showing them off. You’ll want to evaluate the need and ROI for a crawlspace inspection robot, then look at different vendors and models. With the range of vendors and options, narrowing down the right crawlspace inspection robot for you can be overwhelming.
We often get asked how our crawlspace inspection robots compare to other companies’ robots. It’s hard to compare them because each vendor displays their product information differently. Sometimes that includes different terms, units of measurement, or packages/accessories provided (e.g., some come with cases, some charge extra for cases, and some do not offer cases).
To make things easier, we put together this comparison chart. We used information from each company’s respective website to help you decide. SuperDroid’s GPK-32 series crawlspace inspection robots are most similar to Uplink’s Marten Crawler, especially our 4-wheel drive (4WD model).
