Rated by teams who run plant, fleet and tools
“Our investment in MapTrack paid off in a big way when a couple of pieces of test equipment, valued at over $142,000 AUD, was stolen during a break-in at an employee's home. Thanks to MapTrack, we were able to give police the exact location of the asset, even guiding them over the phone as they executed the search warrant. This led them directly to the equipment, which was recovered within 48 hours.”
Barra Edge features and specifications
The Barra Edge bridges the gap between budget-friendly cell tower tracking and full GPS precision. Its hybrid location engine combines GNSS satellite positioning with Wi-Fi access point scanning and cell tower fallback, automatically selecting the most accurate and power-efficient method based on environment. LTE-M and NB-IoT dual-mode connectivity ensures coverage across urban, suburban, and regional Australia. The slim 149 × 51 × 21 mm housing fits behind licence plates, inside toolboxes, and on equipment frames with no wiring required.

What Barra Edge trackers cost for your fleet

One tracker per vehicle, machine or trailer.
How long the Barra Edge battery lasts
Battery life depends on how often the tracker reports its position. These are the rated figures for the Barra Edge, each at the update rate it assumes. Temperature, signal and your tracking settings change them, so we size the reporting rate with you in the demo.
Up to 10 years
At one update a day
Up to 5 years
With movement-based tracking (2 hours of movement a day, 5 days a week)
Up to 3 years
At one update an hour
The batteries are user-replaceable, and you can see each tracker's battery level in MapTrack, so you replace them when they're low rather than on a guess.
Not sure the Barra Edge is the right fit?
Tell us what you're tracking and we'll match a tracker and data plan to each asset in a 30-minute demo, then set up your MapTrack account and devices for you.
Ideal for
Best for
Waste containers and skip bins
Hybrid GNSS + Wi-Fi tracks bins whether they are in a depot shed or at a customer site. Automatic fallback means no signal blind spots.
Intermediate bulk containers (IBCs)
Slim form factor conceals inside IBC frames. Cloud-based location solving minimises power draw for assets that sit idle for weeks between moves.
Portable site offices and containers
Moves seamlessly between indoor storage yards and outdoor job sites. Cell tower fallback ensures coverage even when GPS is blocked by metal walls.
Pallet jacks and warehouse trolleys
Wi-Fi scanning provides zone-level accuracy inside warehouses. GNSS takes over automatically when assets leave the building.
Cargo and freight shipments
Dual-mode LTE-M/NB-IoT connectivity provides coverage across urban, suburban, and regional Australia for shipments moving through multiple zones.
Ride-on scrubbers and cleaning machinery
Hybrid GNSS and Wi-Fi tracks ride-on machines whether they are in a depot shed or deployed at a customer facility. Movement alerts notify you when equipment leaves site unexpectedly.
Sewer jetters and drain cleaning equipment
Track trailer-mounted jetters and portable drain cleaners moving between plumbing jobs. Dual-mode LTE-M and NB-IoT provides coverage across urban and regional service areas.
“Bloody amazing! We used to spend 1-2 days a week tracking and managing our generators alone.”
