What we track

Assets covered by GPS tracker for generators

MapTrack lets hire, construction, mining and facilities teams choose the tracking method that fits each asset: live GPS for high-value mobile equipment, OEM telematics where available, BLE for proximity and QR for durable scan-based accountability.

  • Diesel and portable generators
  • Compressors, pumps and welders
  • Light towers and temporary site power
  • Shutdown and turnaround support assets
  • Hire fleet plant moving between customers
  • Remote units with limited cellular coverage

The problem

Most GPS trackers do not solve the full generators and mobile plant workflow

Location is useful, but hire, construction, mining and facilities teams need the data to flow into site utilisation, maintenance, inspection evidence and cost allocation. Without that, GPS becomes another disconnected map.

Location lives outside the asset record

Teams can see where generators and mobile plant are, but the inspection history, service schedule, documents and cost records live elsewhere. MapTrack keeps them together.

Site utilisation is hard to prove

Without geofence history, hire, construction, mining and facilities teams rely on calls, dockets and spreadsheets to work out whether equipment was actually on site and being used.

Maintenance does not follow actual usage

Runtime, inspection defects and calendar thresholds can trigger oil changes, filter tasks, load-bank checks, safety inspections and repair work orders.

Costing needs location evidence

Project geofences and asset records help show where each unit was deployed, how long it stayed, and which job should carry hire, fuel or maintenance costs.

Live visibility

Track generators and mobile plant across every site

Use MapTrack to see GPS-fitted assets on a live map, filter by site or status, then drill into the full asset record for inspections, maintenance, documents and costs.

  • Live GPS and telematics visibility for generators and mobile plant
  • Site, depot, yard and restricted-area geofences
  • Movement history, time-on-site and exception review
  • GPS, QR, BLE and OEM data in one asset register
  • Transparent GPS hardware and data-plan options

Service control

Turn location and runtime into maintenance action

MapTrack connects GPS, OEM telematics, meter readings and pre-start outcomes to maintenance planning so servicing follows real asset usage.

  • Engine-hour, odometer and calendar service triggers
  • Pre-start defects can create work orders
  • Service history and costs stored against each asset
  • Maintenance due alerts for supervisors and workshops
  • Location context attached to asset repair history
Meter-based maintenance

Built for field operations

GPS Trackers for Generators without another disconnected portal

MapTrack is built for teams that need GPS to feed real operational workflows. Fit trackers where live location matters, ingest OEM data where available, and use BLE or QR for the long tail of assets around the machine.

Operations, maintenance, safety and finance teams work from the same asset record, so geofences, pre-starts, work orders and costs stay connected.

Rollout

How to roll out GPS tracker for generators

Start with the assets where location, theft risk, utilisation or maintenance impact is highest, then expand into BLE, QR and OEM data for complete site coverage.

Step 1

Segment the asset fleet

List the generators and mobile plant that need live GPS, the assets that can use OEM telematics, and the attachments or tools that suit BLE or QR tracking.

Step 2

Choose tracker classes

Battery GPS suits portable units, hardwired trackers suit larger powered plant, and OEM or controller data can feed runtime where supported.

Step 3

Create jobsites and geofences

Set up depots, yards, project sites and restricted areas, then configure movement, time-on-site and exception alerts.

Step 4

Connect maintenance and costing

Use meter readings, pre-starts, service intervals, geofence history and rate-card context to turn GPS activity into work orders and cost evidence.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about GPS tracker for generators.

GPS tracker for generators uses industrial GPS hardware, OEM telematics or related location data to show where generators and mobile plant are, how they move between sites and how they are being used. MapTrack connects that location data to asset records, site geofences, pre-starts, maintenance, utilisation and costing workflows.

MapTrack can track generators, compressors, pumps, light towers, welders, power packs and temporary site services. GPS is usually fitted to high-value mobile assets, while BLE beacons, QR labels and OEM telematics help cover assets that do not need a dedicated live tracker.

Battery GPS suits portable units, hardwired trackers suit larger powered plant, and OEM or controller data can feed runtime where supported.

Runtime, inspection defects and calendar thresholds can trigger oil changes, filter tasks, load-bank checks, safety inspections and repair work orders.

Geofences around depots, yards, projects and restricted areas help hire, construction, mining and facilities teams see when equipment enters, leaves or remains on a site. Project geofences and asset records help show where each unit was deployed, how long it stayed, and which job should carry hire, fuel or maintenance costs.

A standalone GPS tracker usually shows a dot on a map. MapTrack keeps GPS, QR, BLE, OEM telematics, documents, inspections, service history, work orders and costs on the same asset record, so location data becomes part of the operating system rather than another portal to reconcile.
