Assets

Plant and machinery tracking for construction and hire

Q: Which tracker suits an excavator or dumper?

A sealed, battery-mounted tracker such as the FTC887 (IP69K) or FMC880 (IP65). Either one goes onto the machine battery in minutes. If you want inputs for extra sensors, use the FMC234 (IP67), which is hardwired.

Q: Can I track equipment with no battery?

Yes. The TAT240 and TAT140 battery-powered asset trackers run from their own non-rechargeable pack with nothing to wire, so they work on generators, containers and attachments that have no battery. They aren't live, though. They report on a schedule, every 8 hours by default.

Q: Will a plant tracker work on remote sites?

They use 4G, with 2G as a fallback where the model supports it. Where there's no signal at all, they store positions and send them once coverage comes back.

Plant costs a lot, moves easily and thieves love it. Machines out on hire also have a habit of working more hours than anyone invoices for. A rugged tracker keeps each machine on the map and logs engine running time, which you can then bill and plan servicing from.

Built for mud, rain and pressure washers

Construction sites are hard on electronics. The trackers we recommend for plant have sealed, IP-rated cases. The battery-mounted ones connect straight to the machine battery with two wires, so a fitter can do a whole fleet in a morning.

Site geofences and out-of-hours alerts

Draw each site on the map. If a machine leaves it, or moves at night or over the weekend, you get an alert with its live position. Most plant thefts happen while sites are shut and nobody's around to notice.

Hours you can bill and service from

The tracker picks up ignition from the machine's power or from movement, and Fleetalyse records how long each machine actually runs. Use it to check hire usage and plan servicing by real hours. And when a machine is sitting idle, move it to a job that needs it.

FTC880: IP69K like the FTC887, but without Bluetooth or dead reckoning. The simpler pick for machines that get pressure-washed.
FMC230: Hard-wired in an IP67 case. Its impulse inputs take fuel flow meters on thirsty machines.
FMC250: IP67, and reads machine CAN (fuel level, fuel used, RPM) where Teltonika supports the machine. It won't give you engine hours: those need Extended CAN parameters, which this version doesn't include.
TAT240: Magnet-mounted, with tamper alerts. For attachments, generators and containers that have no battery to wire into.
TAT140: For tools, attachments and generators with no battery. Strap it on, screw it down or hide it. IP68.
FTC305: Made for e-forklifts and electric utility machinery. It runs on 10-97 V, has an IP67 case, and reads CAN once the messages have been mapped.
FTC164: Sealed IP69K case, and a 2,600 mAh backup battery that keeps it reporting for longer after the machine's power is isolated. Not yet on our supported-device list; ask us before connecting it to Fleetalyse.
FTC965: IP69K with a 10-90 V input, for 12 V and 24 V machines that get pressure-washed. Not yet on our supported-device list; ask us before connecting it to Fleetalyse.
FTC308: Runs on 10-97 V and uses dead reckoning, for forklifts and utility vehicles working where GPS is weak. Not yet on our supported-device list; ask us before connecting it to Fleetalyse.
ECAN02: Lets a CAN tracker such as the FMC250 read the bus without contact, so nobody cuts the machine's loom. Some parameters may not come through. It's IP41, so fit it in the cab.
BTSID1: This isn't a GPS tracker. It's a Bluetooth tag for attachments and tools, and it gets reported when a Bluetooth tracker on the machine or van is in range. Ask us before relying on beacon data in Fleetalyse.
ATC774: Gives a daily position, not running hours, for unpowered plant, attachments and site containers. Not yet on our supported-device list; ask us before connecting it to Fleetalyse.
