GPS Tracking for Equipment Rental Companies

Renting out skid steers, mini-excavators, and other heavy equipment means handing over a high-value machine and hoping it comes back on time, in one piece, and to the right address. AlerTrax GPS trackers stay on the unit for the entire rental, so you always know where it is, whether it is on a job site, in transit, or sitting overnight at a customer's yard.

Live location updates let you confirm a unit actually arrived where the renter said it would, and geofence alerts notify you the moment it leaves that area. That makes it easier to catch a machine that is overdue, wandering off-site, or headed somewhere it was never approved to go.

Usage tracking also gives you a clearer picture of hours run per rental, which helps with accurate billing, maintenance scheduling, and knowing which units in your fleet are actually earning their keep. If a machine is stolen or simply not returned, AlerTrax's location history gives you and law enforcement a real starting point for recovery.

For rental companies, every idle or missing unit is lost revenue. AlerTrax helps you keep your fleet accounted for, from the moment it leaves the yard to the moment it comes back.
