Hard-wired GPS trackers help contractors and rental fleets protect excavators, verify engine hours and keep maintenance on schedule from any browser or phone.
An excavator is one of the most valuable machines on a job site, and also one of the most exposed. It sits overnight on open ground, moves between projects on lowboy trailers and racks up engine hours that determine its service needs. Korvatrack GPS trackers report where each excavator is, whether its ignition is on and how long it has been running, all from one live map.
Those details help contractors manage both security and cost. Geofences around a job site warn the owner if an excavator leaves the project, after-hours alerts flag unauthorized starts and unplug notifications show tampering attempts. Maintenance reminders by engine hours keep service on schedule, while usage records give rental companies and contractors dependable information for billing, planning and decisions about which machines are worth keeping.
Excavators have a battery and ignition circuit, so a hard-wired tracker can be concealed inside the cab or housing and can detect ignition and engine run time.
Recommended fit
A GPS tracker wired to the electrical system of a vehicle or machine. Hidden from view, always powered, and suited to heavy trucks and powered equipment.
A self-contained, long-life GPS tracker for trailers, containers, unpowered equipment and valuable assets. Attach it and it reports on its own.
Geofence exit, ignition and after-hours alerts warn owners when an excavator moves or starts unexpectedly, and the live map shows where it is heading. Quick action matters when machines are costly to replace.
Service reminders by engine hours help schedule fluid, filter and inspection work based on real machine use rather than calendar guesses. Servicing on time protects the machine and its resale value.
Ignition and trip history show how many days each excavator actually worked, helping owners compare machines and decide where to assign or retire equipment. Records help justify equipment purchases.
Equipment rental companies can confirm that machines remain within agreed job sites and locate units that were not returned on time. Clear location data also reduces disputes with customers.
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.

Learn moreYes. A hard-wired tracker detects ignition and engine run time, which allows maintenance reminders based on engine hours. Owners can also review usage records to see how often each excavator worked and plan service around actual machine use. That information supports maintenance planning.
A battery-powered tracker can be mounted on the machine without wiring and still report location and movement. It will not track engine hours in the same way, so owners often choose the hard-wired unit when ignition data matters. Owners should choose based on whether ignition data matters.
Yes. Set a geofence around the job site and Korvatrack will alert you when the machine leaves. The live map then shows its location, and trip history documents the route if the excavator was moved on a trailer. That evidence supports prompt follow-up.
