GPS Asset Tracking for Plant, Trailers and Equipment
TrafficAngel’s Asset Tracking System is designed for trailers, plant, machinery and other valuable equipment that may be difficult to monitor or may not have a permanent power supply. Compact, battery-powered trackers provide scheduled GPS location updates, movement history and alerts through the TrafficAngel platform, with flexible reporting intervals and up to 3–4 years of battery life depending on use.
This makes the system particularly suited to assets that may spend long periods parked, stored remotely or moving between different sites, without the need to rely on the asset itself for a constant power source.
Benefits of an Asset Tracking System
Check the latest recorded location of trailers, plant and equipment without relying on paperwork, phone calls or searching across yards and sites.
Key Features of Our Asset Tracking System
Latest Asset Location
Through our easy-to-use software platform, you can view the most recent location of your assets or equipment. The trackers update the platform daily, or the reporting schedule can be customised based on your needs.
Location History
Our trackers record the route taken, allowing you to view the journey history of your assets. This supports accountability, planning and operational oversight.
Geofence Alerts
Create virtual boundaries around sites, depots or approved operating areas and receive notifications when assets move beyond them. The geofence alerts can be used to help prevent unauthorised use, loss or theft.
Movement & Time-Based Alerts
Set up alerts based on geofence locations and time intervals. Stay proactive in managing your assets by receiving alerts when equipment moves to a different location or operates outside a specified time period.
Mobile and Desktop Access
Manage your Asset Tracking System from the office or on the move with access via desktop and mobile app. The platform is available on both desktop and mobile, with similar features and controls adapted for different screen sizes.
Flexible Tracking Intervals
Reporting schedules can be configured around how the asset is used. For equipment that may remain stationary for long periods, less frequent updates can help preserve battery life while still providing the location information needed for day-to-day monitoring.
Built for Long-Term Asset Tracking
Track Assets Without Relying on a Permanent Power Supply
TrafficAngel asset tracking devices are compact, battery-powered and designed for equipment that may spend long periods parked, stored or away from a fixed power source. With up to 3–4 years of battery life, depending on reporting frequency and operating conditions, they can continue providing useful location information without needing to draw power from the asset itself.
Flexible reporting intervals allow the tracker to balance the level of location information required with battery life. This makes the system particularly suited to trailers, plant, machinery and other equipment that may remain stationary for days or weeks at a time.
Compact & Discreet
The small tracker can be positioned discreetly on a wide range of commercial assets, helping keep the device protected and less visible during normal operation.
Sleeper Technology
When an asset is inactive, the tracker can reduce unnecessary communication to conserve battery power, becoming active again according to its configured reporting behaviour.
Device Health Monitoring
Tracker status can be monitored through the platform, helping teams identify when a device may require attention.
Flexible Installation
The battery-powered design allows the tracker to be used across powered and non-powered assets. TrafficAngel can advise on the most appropriate position and setup for the equipment being monitored.
