Telematics for Excavator & Equipment Rental
Create a reviewable record of machine location, available operating hours and selected movement events for rental and leasing workflows.

Investigate operating-hour questions
Rental disagreements often include 'how many hours did it run'. A compatible and validated source can add a shared operating record for review alongside the rental agreement.
Review off-hire and unexpected movement
When the selected hardware and platform support the required events, site-boundary or after-hours movement can give the team an earlier reason to investigate.
Why rental firms ask us
We help rental teams compare enclosure, power, mounting, coverage and available machine-data paths, then check how the selected records reach the existing system.
Hardware for rental records
When an excavator exposes compatible CAN/J1939 data, a suitable gateway can be evaluated for engine-hour or fuel-related fields; the exact records still need to be confirmed on the machine and receiving platform. Compare the A300 industrial gateway for an interface-rich wired installation with the A700 only for a powered outdoor tracking path where machine-data integration is not required. For mounting, power supply and field-condition decisions on site machines, see construction machinery tracking.
What the record should show
Operating-hour totals, location history and selected movement events (site-boundary crossing, after-hours movement) give rental teams a shared basis for disputes and off-hire checks.
Certification per market
CE, FCC, RoHS and similar marks differ by destination. We document what each supplier can evidence and confirm the applicable marks at order time.
Start with the operation, then verify the hardware path.
We support fleet and equipment operators as well as telematics providers, integrators, installers and distributors. The work is to define requirements, compare available evidence, coordinate samples and check the data path before a wider decision.
Define the working requirement
Document the vehicles, equipment or assets, installation conditions, required signals and receiving platform before comparing models.
Compare evidence and samples
Review supplier documents, available interfaces and sample output. Anything not supplied remains an open item rather than an assumed capability.
Coordinate the data path
Confirm the protocol, fields, accessories, server settings and installation details required by the selected project.
Tell us the operation and the open questions.
We will reply with the checks still needed and an initial hardware direction.
