GPS tracking for fleets and assets, nationwide and worldwide

GPS Tracking for Cranes and Lifting Fleets

Korvatrack GPS trackers show where every mobile crane is, when it moves, and how many hours it works, so lifting schedules stay on track.

Why track cranes with GPS

A mobile crane is one of the most valuable and most tightly scheduled machines on any project, and a unit that is in the wrong yard or late to a pick can hold up several trades at once. GPS tracking for cranes gives dispatchers a live map position for every machine, whether it is travelling between sites, staged for assembly, or parked overnight, without a round of phone calls to operators.

Korvatrack pairs that live map with trip history, geofences, and maintenance reminders built on engine hours and mileage. Owners of a single crane and operators of large lifting fleets use the same web and mobile apps, with user roles that let dispatchers, yard managers, and finance staff each see what their jobs require and nothing more. Access is simple to manage as the fleet grows.

The right tracker for cranes

A hard-wired tracker draws steady power from the carrier's electrical system and mounts out of sight in the cab or chassis, so it keeps reporting through long shifts on site.

What owners use it for

  • Dispatch and staging visibility

    Live positions show which crane is closest to the next pick, which is still in transit, and which is waiting in the yard, so dispatchers can assign machines with confidence.

  • Engine-hours maintenance planning

    Maintenance reminders can be set by engine hours, mileage, or calendar date, helping inspections and service intervals happen on time instead of being discovered after a problem.

  • Overnight and weekend security

    Geofences around yards and job sites trigger alerts when a crane leaves its approved area or moves after hours, giving owners an early signal to act.

  • Route and transit records

    Trip history playback documents when a crane left one site and arrived at the next, which supports billing questions, permit logistics, and customer disputes. Records stay available for later review.

Alerts that matter for cranes

Choose the events you want to hear about and who should be told. Alerts arrive as push notifications in the mobile apps and by email, and each one is logged in the platform.

How alerts work
  • Geofence exit from yard or site
  • After-hours movement alert
  • Unplug or tamper notification
  • Maintenance due by engine hours
  • Ignition on outside scheduled shifts

Frequently asked questions

How are cranes typically tracked with GPS?

Most mobile cranes use a hard-wired Korvatrack tracker connected to the carrier's power and installed out of sight. That supplies continuous location, ignition status, and movement alerts. Battery-powered trackers suit towers, outriggers-only units, or machines without a convenient power source.

Can GPS trackers tell when a crane is actually working?

Ignition and movement data show when a crane is running, travelling, or idling, and engine-hour based maintenance reminders build on that data. Korvatrack reports on location and operating status, but it does not replace the load monitoring systems fitted to the crane itself.

Can one account track cranes alongside trucks and trailers?

Yes. Korvatrack manages vehicles, trailers, and equipment inside one platform, so crane transports, support trucks, and rigging trailers appear together on the same live map, with roles that control which users can view or edit each group. Access stays organized as fleets grow.
