Korvatrack gives equipment rental companies live location, usage hours and theft alerts for machines, trailers and tools once they leave the yard on a customer job site.
Rental companies earn their revenue from assets that spend most of their working life on someone else's job site. Korvatrack equipment tracking keeps those machines visible, with a live map showing where each excavator, lift, generator or trailer sits and a history of where it has been since it left the yard. Staff can plan pickups and respond to customer questions with current information.
Because rental fleets mix powered machines with unpowered assets, the right tracker varies by item. Hard-wired units connect to equipment with a battery or ignition, while battery-powered trackers attach to trailers, light towers and attachments. Alerts for geofence exit, movement and tamper help rental yards protect inventory and settle questions about how a rented unit was used. Each unit is easy to find afterward.
Once a machine leaves the yard, the rental company depends on the customer to say where it is. Units move between sites, get loaned out or sit forgotten, and no one reports it.
Rates often depend on days or hours of use, yet operators rarely see how heavily a machine was run. Disputes with customers over engine hours and idle time are difficult to settle.
Compact equipment, generators and trailers are portable and easy to resell. Thieves target unattended job sites, and a rental company may not learn that something is gone until the contract ends.
Machines return at unpredictable times, and service intervals depend on engine hours rather than calendar dates. Tracking intervals by hand across hundreds of units leads to missed maintenance and breakdowns on rent.
The Korvatrack live map shows where each machine is right now, and history playback shows where it has been. Staff can find a late return or plan a pickup route without phoning the customer.
Draw geofences around the yard and around the job site named in each contract. Entry and exit alerts tell the rental company when equipment leaves its authorized area or is moved without notice.
Set maintenance reminders by engine hours, mileage or date so machines are serviced at the right interval. Reminders flag units approaching service while they are still on rent or when they return.
Battery-powered trackers can be concealed on trailers, light towers and attachments, and alert the yard to unexpected movement or tamper events. Hard-wired trackers cover powered machines with ignition and unplug alerts.

Korvatrack serves this industry nationwide. A selection of the cities we cover:
Items such as light towers, trailers, compressors and tool boxes can carry a battery-powered tracker that needs no connection to the equipment. Korvatrack reports location and movement alerts from these devices, so even unpowered rentals appear on the same live map as powered machines.
Hard-wired trackers on powered equipment support maintenance reminders by engine hours, and trip and usage history gives context for how a machine was run. Rental companies can use this information as a reference point when reviewing hours with a customer.
Tracking does not physically prevent theft, and Korvatrack does not guarantee recovery. It does provide movement, geofence and tamper alerts, plus live location and history, so a rental company can respond quickly and give accurate information to the customer and authorities.
