Can I hire walk-through metal detectors for an event?

Yes — RedteQ keeps a WTMD hire fleet ready to deploy for events of any size, from a single archway to dozens of lanes, delivered, installed and supported by our own engineers. Battery options mean they can run outdoors in tents and fields.

Which walk-through metal detector is best for outdoor events?

The Garrett Paragon is IP65-rated against rain and dust, operates from -20°C to +55°C and runs up to 10 hours on its extended battery — which is why it's a favourite for festivals, stadiums and outdoor screening. RedteQ is Garrett's official UK distributor.

Do you service other WTMD brands like CEIA?

Yes. RedteQ engineers maintain and repair walk-through metal detectors across brands, including CEIA units we support at customer checkpoints nationwide.
