Best For Assets Without Power
Battery-Powered GPS Devices
Battery-powered trackers are designed for assets that do not have an onboard power source or where wiring is impractical.
Ideal For:
- Trailers (box trailers, plant trailers)
- Equipment parked for long periods
- Generators
- Storage containers
- Mobile equipment without wiring
- Rapid deployment or temporary tracking needs
Advantages:
- No wiring or installation required
- Completely self-contained
- Can be placed or mounted anywhere
- Easy to move between assets
- Works even when the asset is not powered
Considerations:
- Battery life depends on update frequency & motion
- Requires periodic recharging or battery replacement
Best For Powered Fleet & Machinery
Hardwired GPS Devices
Hardwired trackers draw continuous power from the vehicle or equipment, providing real-time, uninterrupted reporting.
Ideal For:
- Fleet vehicles (utes, vans, trucks)
- Heavy machinery (excavators, skid steers, forklifts)
- Assets that operate daily
- Assets where tracking must remain live at all times
- Long-term, permanent installations
Advantages:
- Continuous power, no recharging
- Higher update frequency possible
- Reliable for maintenance, driver logs, live tracking
- Tamper-resistant installation
- “Always on” regardless of movement
Considerations:
- Requires wiring into the asset
