Services / Asset Tracking
Keeping non-vehicle assets accounted for
Trailers, containers, generators and mobile equipment move between sites without a driver behind the wheel to report a problem. ETIT fits tracking to these assets and keeps a live register of where they are and how they are used.
- Trailers & containers
- Generators & plant
- Battery-powered units
- Utilisation reporting
Services / Asset TrackingWhy this matters
Assets without engines are easy to lose track of
No log of where equipment is
Trailers and equipment left at client sites or depots are tracked on spreadsheets, if at all.
Idle assets go unnoticed
Equipment sitting unused for weeks represents cost that nobody is currently measuring.
Theft and loss discovered late
Without location alerts, missing equipment is often only noticed at the next scheduled check.
Utilisation cannot be proven
Deciding whether to buy more equipment or better use what exists is guesswork without usage data.
Maintenance tied to guesswork
Servicing generators and plant on a fixed calendar rather than actual running hours wastes either time or equipment life.
What this covers
Tracking for equipment, not just vehicles
Asset Tracking applies the same device, installation and platform practice used for vehicles to equipment that does not have its own engine or driver: trailers, shipping and site containers, generators, pumps and other mobile plant.
Because these assets are often battery-powered or unpowered, device selection and reporting intervals differ from vehicle tracking — favouring long battery life and motion-triggered reporting over continuous high-frequency updates, unless the asset itself carries power.
The result is a live register: an asset list showing current location, last movement, and, where the device supports it, engine hours or usage duration, replacing manual stock-take processes with continuous visibility.
Service scope
- Device selection suited to powered and unpowered assets
- Battery-life-optimised reporting configuration
- Installation on trailers, containers, generators and plant
- Motion and geofence alerts for unauthorised movement
- Utilisation and idle-time reporting
- Engine-hour tracking for powered equipment where supported

How it runs
Delivery steps
01
Audit
Existing assets are catalogued and assessed for device compatibility.
02
Fit
Devices are installed on each asset with attention to mounting and battery position.
03
Configure
Reporting intervals, alerts and geofences are set for each asset class.
04
Sustain
Ongoing monitoring, battery replacement and maintenance keep the register accurate.
What changes
Outcomes
01A trustworthy asset register
Location and status data replace manual, often outdated, spreadsheets.
02Faster loss detection
Unauthorised movement triggers an alert rather than being noticed weeks later.
03Evidence for equipment decisions
Utilisation data supports decisions on buying, redeploying or retiring equipment.
04Usage-based maintenance
Servicing driven by actual running hours rather than a fixed calendar.
