GPS asset tracking

Track Non-Powered Assets Across Your NZ Fleet

Your trailers sit overnight at a customer depot in Hamilton. Your generators run unattended on a construction site north of Auckland. Your shipping containers move through the Port of Tauranga. Without a power source, these valuable assets are invisible to most telematics and fleet management systems.

Ctrack's non-powered asset tracking devices attach to trailers, containers, generators, and equipment via magnetic mounts or cable ties. No wiring required. Self-powered trackers report location on a configurable schedule, letting you track your assets across New Zealand.

  • Live asset location on Crystal dashboardSee every non-powered asset on the same monitoring platform as your powered vehicles.
  • Configurable reporting intervalsSet frequent updates for high-value assets and extended pings for storage items to extend operational life.
  • Zone alerts for asset movementReceive instant alerts when assets leave approved zones or move outside permitted hours.

Battery-powered GPS

Battery-Powered Asset Tracker Built for New Zealand Conditions

New Zealand's construction, agriculture, and port sectors require asset trackers that function without a vehicle power supply. Ctrack's GPS tracking device carries an IP68 rating, sealed against dust and water ingress. Cellular connectivity keeps each GPS tracker linked to the Crystal asset monitoring platform from any NZ job site, farm track, or port environment.

Operational life extends up to 5 years in standard tracking mode. For assets that move infrequently, such as seasonal machinery or containers in storage, reporting intervals can be extended to maximise battery longevity. Magnetic mounting or strap attachment means installation takes minutes with no specialist tools and leaves the asset unmodified.

  • Fully waterproof and dustproofFully sealed for outdoor NZ environments including construction, agriculture, and coastal port operations.
  • Up to 5-year battery lifeImprove asset management with long operational life at standard tracking intervals for low-movement assets.
  • Magnetic or strap mountingEasy to install with no wiring or tools required.

GPS Tracking Closes the Non-Powered Asset Visibility Gap

Construction equipment, trailers, and generators are among the most commonly stolen commercial assets in New Zealand. Asset telematics give operations managers real-time tracking and location data visibility without any modification to the asset or its power system.

Non-Powered Asset Tracking Questions

Common questions about non-powered trackers for trailers, containers, and equipment without a vehicle power source.

Ctrack's asset trackers operate for up to 5 years at standard tracking intervals. For infrequently moved assets, such as trailers in storage or seasonal agricultural machinery, reporting intervals can be extended to preserve operational life further.
