Hayes Instrument Company

Surveying Equipment and Field Supplier for Land Surveyors, Engineers, and Construction.

08/12/2026

Certified. Tested. Field-ready. And priced to move.

New equipment isn't always the right call — and for a lot of crews, it isn't the smart one either. That's where our Certified Pre-Owned inventory comes in.

Every CPO instrument at Hayes goes through our factory-authorized Service Center before it ever ships.

Same techs. Same standards. Same worry-free support you'd get on anything new off our shelf.

Here's a look at what's in stock right now:

🔹 Topcon LN-160 layout tool — $15,000
🔹 Topcon HiPer HR GNSS receiver — $10,500
🔹 Sokkia GCX-3 receiver — $8,500
🔹 Topcon GM-55 total station — $4,500
🔹 Topcon HiPer SR receiver — $1,000
..and MORE, from robotic total stations to GNSS, with something at nearly every price point.

CPO is how you get proven Topcon and Sokkia gear into the field faster — without the new-equipment price tag. When it's gone, it's gone.

And yes — you'll want to stop by for this one: register at the booth for your chance to win a Creality K1 3D Printer or click the link. 🖨️https://hubs.ly/Q04rl23Y0

The Hayes Instrument Co. + Geo Networking team will be at our booth ready to talk shop about robotic total stations, GNSS, and LiDAR — and we've got live demos running, so bring your questions.

Whether you're comparing gear, troubleshooting a workflow, or just want to see what's new, this is the kind of face-to-face conversation that's hard to beat. We love these events because they remind us that behind every piece of equipment is a real crew trying to get real work done in the field.

And yes — we're giving away a Creality K1 3D Printer. 🎁 Stop by the booth to register or click the link below.

We're Florida-bound! ☀️

Next week, Hayes Instrument Co. and our partners at Geo Networking are heading to the FSMS Conference in Florida — July 30–31 — and we could not be more excited for this year's event.

The Florida surveying and mapping community is one of the best out there, and getting to show up for the people who do this work every day is exactly why we love what we do.

Swing by our booth and let's talk shop. We'll have our experts on hand and live demos rolling all day — SLAM, GNSS, Drones, LiDAR, the works. Come see the gear in action, ask the hard questions, and while you're there, register for a shot at some prizes. 👀

Whether you're a longtime partner or we're meeting for the first time, we'd love to shake your hand and show you what the total package looks like.

🎆 We're starting the celebration early at Hayes Instrument Co.!

America turns 250 this year — and as a company built around the tools that helped survey, map, and build this great nation, we couldn't let that go unnoticed.

Here's to the 3 surveyors (and that other guy) who helped lay the foundation for the greatest country on earth. 🇺🇸

Stop by and see what we've been up to, see our deals, and enjoy free shipping!! https://hubs.ly/Q04myj2y0

With laser measurement, dual cameras, IMU technology, and full GNSS support, the i85 is built for crews who need flexibility in the field — especially when points are difficult, unsafe, or inconvenient to reach.

Adding single-beam hydrographic survey capability to a project scope doesn't have to mean a capital equipment purchase.

Hayes Instrument Co. now rents the CHCNAV Apache Pro USV — available as the Apache 3 Pro or Apache 4 Pro — configured as a complete, survey-ready bathymetric platform.

System specs at a glance:
▸ Single-beam echosounder integrated onboard
▸ RTK-ready GNSS for positioning accuracy
▸ Autonomous mission ex*****on via EasySail mission planning software
▸ Full-coverage depth contour model output in a single autonomous pass
▸ 4 batteries + chargers included — full-day field endurance

Rental structure:
▸ $2,400 base — 4-day rental period
▸ $400/day thereafter ▸ Rental period runs from receipt to return
▸ 24/7 remote tech support + controller access during deployment

The EasySail controller handles pre-mission planning, real-time monitoring, and post-mission data processing — delivering a georeferenced depth contour model without additional processing software.

Well-suited for: pond and lake surveys, stormwater basin as-builts, marina and dock clearance surveys, FEMA floodplain data collection, and jurisdictional wetland work.

Meet the IF800 Tomcat. Made in the USA. Built for the field. 🇺🇸

Here's what makes it stand out for construction and surveying teams:

✅ 54-min max flight time — fewer battery swaps, more data per deployment
✅ 6.6 lb payload capacity — fly LiDAR, thermal, or high-res photogrammetry sensors
✅ Folds to carry-on size — no freight costs, no special transport permits
✅ Dual hot-swappable batteries — continuous ops with no full power-down
✅ Blue UAS & NDAA compliant — cleared for government-adjacent contracts and regulated job sites
✅ IP43 rated — handles dust, light rain, and real-world conditions

This isn't a hobbyist drone. It's a professional-grade platform built for operators who need reliable data, not just a good-looking fly-by.
