Heavy equipment asset tracking for excavators and loaders
Track excavators, loaders, cranes and plant machinery across sites. Combat theft, improve utilisation, and schedule maintenance based on actual engine hours instead of guesswork.
Trusted by leading Australian construction and mining operators
Certified & Approved
Heavy equipment management challenges.
Equipment theft, underutilised assets and reactive maintenance cost construction and mining operators millions annually. Location tracking moves you from reactive crisis management to proactive control.
Equipment theft exposure
Construction equipment theft costs Australian operators millions each year. Heavy truck recovery sits at 58%, plant and equipment at just 40%. Without location tracking, most stolen assets are never recovered.
Low utilisation rates
Equipment sits idle on site while teams search for available units elsewhere. You can't improve utilisation without visibility into actual engine hours, movement patterns and site allocation.
Maintenance scheduling guesswork
Scheduled servicing based on calendar dates instead of actual operating hours wastes money and increases breakdown risk. Accurate engine hour data drives better maintenance decisions.
Key capabilities for heavy equipment tracking.
Ctrack gives you real-time visibility into excavators, loaders, cranes, and other plant assets. Track location, monitor usage, and schedule maintenance based on actual engine hours.
Battery-powered trackers rated IP67/IP68 for dust, water and extreme conditions.
Track actual operating hours for maintenance scheduling and utilisation reporting.
Get instant alerts when equipment enters or leaves designated site boundaries.
Compare actual use across fleet to identify underutilised or overworked assets.
How heavy equipment tracking works.
Battery-powered trackers provide 10-20 year operation without hardwiring. Data flows to Ctrack automatically for real-time visibility and historical reporting.
Install battery trackers
Mount weatherproof trackers to equipment chassis. No wiring required. Devices communicate via LTE-M/NB-IoT networks with 10-20 year battery life (Digital Matter) for daily position updates.
Capture location and usage data
Trackers record position, movement alerts, and engine hour data when connected to equipment systems. Information uploads automatically to Ctrack platform when network coverage available.
Get alerts and reports
Receive real-time alerts for geofence breaches, unexpected movement, and maintenance scheduling. Generate utilisation reports to inform hiring, rental, and allocation decisions.
Equipment tracking return on investment.
Construction and mining operators report measurable improvements in theft recovery, utilisation rates, and maintenance efficiency. Equipment tracking typically delivers ROI within the first year.
Equipment theft is costly and disruptive. Without tracking, recovery rates drop below 25%. Tracked equipment shows 69% recovery rates. Australian heavy truck recovery sits at 58%, while plant and equipment recovery reaches only 40% without tracking systems.
Tracked construction equipment shows 69% recovery rates compared to under 25% for untracked assets. Immediate theft alerts and location visibility improve recovery outcomes significantly.
Equipment tracking improves fleet utilisation by 32% on average. Better visibility into location and availability reduces idle time and rental costs.
