Gopher Confined Space Inspection Robot - USA-made

Built for the real world, built to last. The Gopher, formerly the GPK-32, is a compact inspection robot that goes where most people would rather not: under homes, through crawlspaces, beneath porches, under elevated structures, and into tight gaps around manufacturing equipment.

Instead of crawling on the ground with a flashlight and camera, you drive the robot in, watch the live feed on the 10-inch remote screen, and record HD video or photos to a USB drive for reports. The bright LED spotlights put nearly 1,000 lumens on dark corners, pipes, floor joists, leaks, pest damage, and anything else that needs a closer look.

See Before You Crawl

The Gopher is built around simple, practical visual inspection. The HD camera sits on an actuated tilt bracket, so you can look down at the ground, straight ahead, or up into joists and structure without moving the whole robot.

Steering Zero-turn differential steering
Obstacles Climbs over most rocks, pipes, debris, and crawlspace obstructions
Width 10.25 inches for tight access points
Ground Clearance 1.5 inches
Weight 7.6 pounds, easy to carry between inspections
Overtun Camera does not extend above tracks when tilted forward, which allows for driving while upside down.

Built Around Inspection Work

Home inspectors, pest control technicians, adjusters, appraisers, facility managers, and construction teams use the Gopher to document places that are hard, unpleasant, or unsafe to enter by hand.

Common Uses

Home and Building Inspection Crawlspaces, confined structural areas, porches, and elevated structures
Pest Control Check voids and tight spaces before sending a person in
Insurance and Appraisal Document conditions with HD video and still images
Industrial Facilities Inspect under equipment and in plant gaps
Construction and BIM Gather visual context where people cannot or should not go

Remote Control and Reporting

The remote gives you a live camera view on a 10-inch screen, plus physical controls that make the robot easy to drive. Save video and snapshots to a USB drive, bring the footage back to the client, and decide whether a firsthand look is even necessary.

Why buy the Gopher?

A crawlspace inspection is only useful if you can actually see what is going on. The Gopher lets you get a camera into low, dirty, tight, and awkward places without sending someone in first.

Customers tell us they have run their robots through more than 1,500 inspections with no signs of slowing down. They have used them to look into spaces with snakes, feral animals, mold, rot, standing water, sharp debris, and plenty of other things they were glad to see on a screen before crawling in themselves.

  • Inspect More Safely
    Use the robot to check for mold, rot, animals, bites, scrapes, low clearance, and other hazards before deciding whether anyone needs to enter the space.
  • Document What You Find
    Record HD video and still photos to a USB drive for inspection reports, client follow-up, insurance files, and maintenance records.
  • Get Into Tight Spaces
    At 5 inches tall and 10.25 inches wide, the Gopher fits where a person cannot comfortably work and where a handheld camera cannot reach far enough.
  • Built for Repeat Work
    The Gopher is compact, tough, and simple to transport. It is made for working inspectors and facility teams, not for a single demo day.
  • Professional Reputation
    The Gopher line is one of the best-selling crawlspace inspection robots on the market, built in the United States and well known among professional inspectors, including InterNACHI members.

Maintenance and Field Repair

We have shipped Gopher (formerly GPK-32) inspection robots for many years, and units from the early builds are still running well. That history shaped how we design and support the current line. We looked at what failed in the field, what tied inspectors to factory service, and what made parts hard to find five or ten years down the road.

The Gopher is built for practical field use. Most repairs can happen on site, in your shop, or in your vehicle, without sending the robot back for factory work. Routine assembly and disassembly are meant for someone with basic mechanical skills, not a specialist electrical or mechanical technician. Wiring is plug-and-play. There is no soldering in the service process.

  • Commodity parts where it makes sense
    Drive, power, and chassis hardware use time-tested components and/or manufacturing methods found across many industries, so replacements stay available long-term.
  • Custom parts we design and control
    When a part is specific to the Gopher, we design it and manage production ourselves or through standard fabrication shops. We avoid exotic processes or components that are hard to source when a single vendor drops a line.
  • Fabrication files if we stop making a part
    If we ever discontinue a custom component, we can provide the files your local shop needs to fabricate it.
  • Known country of origin
    All components have documented origin. We control sourcing on the parts that matter for repair and replacement.
  • In-house where it saves you money
    When we manufacture a part ourselves, it is because that is the most cost-effective path—not because the part requires a process no outside shop can handle. Commodity-style fabrication stays easy to move in-house or out.
  • Built for years in service
    The goal is lower lifetime cost and fewer weeks out of service compared with earlier Gopher (formerly GPK-32) builds or typical crawlspace inspection robots on the market.

FAQs

What is a production batch?
A production batch is a group build: we purchase materials in bulk to manufacture a set number of the same robot. Orders in the batch are built together once the batch reaches production.
Why is the price lower when I buy as part of a production batch?
Buying materials in bulk for multiple robots lowers our material costs through volume discounts. We pass those savings on to batch participants.
How do I get my robot as soon as possible?
Production starts once a batch reaches a critical threshold—usually around 75% of the batch size. The sooner the batch fills, the sooner production begins. Inviting friends and colleagues to join the batch helps it reach that threshold faster.
When is my credit card charged?
Your card is charged when the batch goes into production—not when you reserve your spot. Use a card that can cover the full purchase price so a failed charge does not cost you your place in the batch.
What is the Gopher used for?
It is used for visual inspections in crawlspaces, under porches, beneath elevated structures, under manufacturing equipment, and in other tight areas where crawling in by hand is slow, uncomfortable, or risky.
Is this the same robot as the GPK-32?
Gopher is the new name for the GPK-32 inspection robot line. It keeps the same practical idea: a compact tracked robot for hard-to-reach visual inspections.
What comes with it?
The typical package includes the Gopher robot, remote control with 10-inch screen, HD camera, USB media storage, LED spotlights on an actuated tilt bracket, rechargeable battery, tracks with zero-turn steering, and a rugged transport case.
How long does the battery last?
Runtime is about 4 hours, depending on driving, lighting use, surface conditions, and how often the robot is starting, stopping, or climbing over obstacles.
What frequency does the remote use, and what is the realistic control range in a crawlspace?
The Gopher uses a 900 MHz radio link for both control and live video. In real-world use—including through wood framing, insulation, and foundation walls—operators typically maintain reliable control at ranges beyond 300 feet. That figure reflects penetration through obstructions such as brick walls, not open line-of-sight distance alone.
How does the video feed transmit, and what is the range and latency?
Live video uses the same 900 MHz link as the control signal. Range matches control—more than 300 feet through obstructions such as brick walls—and link latency is typically under 100 ms. The sub-GHz frequency is chosen for better penetration through subfloor structure, insulation, and concrete or stem-wall foundations compared with 2.4 GHz systems.
What is the IP rating or moisture and dust resistance?
The Gopher is weather-resistant and built for crawlspace and confined-space work. It does not carry a formal IP rating. In damp crawlspaces, store the robot in its transport case with moisture-capture packets to help draw out humidity between jobs.
Can it record video and photos?
Yes. The Gopher records 1920×1080 video at 30 fps and still photos at the same resolution to a USB drive on the remote, which makes it easier to document findings and include footage in reports.
What is the warranty?
The standard warranty is 1 year. An optional 3-year warranty is available for $900.
Who buys the Gopher?
Home inspectors, building inspectors, pest control technicians, exterminators, insurance adjusters, real estate appraisers, facility managers, construction teams, reality capture teams, and BIM teams all use robots like this when they need eyes in a tight space.
