GPS tracking for construction and mining equipment theft prevention

The Cost of Equipment Theft

Construction and mining equipment—excavators, dumpers, loaders—represent crores in capital. Theft at remote sites, especially at night and on weekends, is common. Recovery without location data is nearly impossible. GPS tracking with geofencing provides the first line of defense.

Geofence Alerts

Create virtual boundaries around sites. Receive instant SMS when equipment moves unexpectedly. Tamper detection alerts if the device is disconnected.

Rugged Hardware

Devices built for dust, vibration, and temperature extremes. Reliable in mining pits and construction environments.

Fuel Monitoring and Utilization

Ultrasonic fuel sensors detect drain events and pilferage. Utilization reports show engine hours, idle time, and working hours—identify underused equipment and overworked units. Optimize fleet size and maintenance schedules.

Multi-Site Visibility

Track excavators, dumpers, and trucks across all sites on one dashboard. Filter by location. Technicians available for on-site installation across India.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We offer rugged devices for excavators, dumpers, loaders. Installation can be wired (vehicle power) or battery/solar for non-powered assets.
Define geofences around your sites. If equipment moves outside—especially at night—you get an instant alert. Enables quick response and deters theft.
Yes. 4G works where cellular coverage exists. For weak coverage, we offer extended reporting intervals. Battery/solar options suit locations without vehicle power.
