Here are 4 important Cartrack GPS Tracker features that are highly useful for managing and operating your construction and mining heavy equipment fleet.
1. Geofence
This feature allows you to create virtual areas that are important to monitor, such as project locations and danger zones. The system will send real-time notifications every time your vehicle enters or exits a geofence. Furthermore, the Geofence Report provides you with accurate information about your vehicle's activity within these geofences, such as idle, travel, and stop times; distance traveled within the geofence; maximum speed; and any adverse driving behavior (speeding, hard braking, harsh acceleration, and sharp turns).
2. Driver Identification Magnetic Key
To prevent unauthorised use, each of your drivers or operators must have a driver ID tag. This magnetic key must be tapped on the sensor installed in the vehicle before the operator can drive it. If not, an alarm will be triggered. When this magnetic key is combined with a remote immobiliser, the vehicle cannot be started even if the driver has the main key. This magnetic sensor also enables you to track operator activity in any assigned vehicle.

3. Cement Mixer Monitor
If you own concrete mixer trucks, you may want to know how long each job is carried out. With a specialised mixer sensor and Cartrack automated reporting, you will receive accurate data on mixer activities, such as concrete loading and discharge duration, the location and geofence of concrete discharge, the duration from one geofence to another, and the total time spent per job.
4. Power Take-Off Monitor
This device is installed on mechanical equipment such as tow hooks, hydraulic pistons, and cranes. It uses the vehicle’s engine power, usually via a switch or lever. The combination of a vehicle GPS tracker with a power take-off (PTO) monitor helps you maximise the efficiency of heavy equipment usage. You will receive accurate data on when and where the lever is switched on and off, including the operational duration of the mechanical device.
These four Cartrack GPS Tracker features ensure that your construction and mining heavy equipment fleet operations remain under control. You gain broader access to all key activities of your heavy machinery, helping to improve performance and asset utilisation.
