Keeping track of generators and plant on construction sites

The challenge on site

Construction equipment is expensive, moves between projects and often sits on sites that are not staffed around the clock. Contractors need to know which machine is where, whether it is being used, and whether it has left a site without authorisation.

Wired or battery tracker?

• Wired trackers connect to the machine's power. They suit excavators, loaders, tipper trucks and other powered plant, and can often detect when the ignition is on.
• Battery trackers run on their own battery. They suit containers, trailers, tool stores and unpowered equipment. Battery life depends on how often the tracker reports.

Many contractors use both: wired trackers on plant and vehicles, and battery trackers on containers and smaller assets.

Use geofences for each site

Draw a geofence around each project site and your yard. The platform then shows which site each machine is on and can alert you when equipment leaves a site, especially outside working hours.

Understand usage

Where a tracker is connected to the ignition, you can review when a machine was running and for how long. This helps compare usage across sites, plan maintenance and support hire records.

Add fuel visibility

Machinery and generators use a lot of fuel. Fuel level sensors, where compatible with the tank, record refuels and sudden drops so you can investigate unexplained losses on site.
