GPS tracking for fleets and assets, nationwide and worldwide

GPS Tracking for Generators and Power Units

Korvatrack battery-powered trackers help owners find portable generators, confirm where they are deployed, and respond quickly when one is moved without approval.

Why track generators with GPS

Portable and towable generators are valuable, easy to move, and often left unattended at construction sites, event grounds, and utility work zones. GPS tracking for generators gives owners a live position for each unit, so a machine is never lost between jobs or quietly relocated, and rental returns can be confirmed against a map rather than a phone call. Owners gain a clear view.

Korvatrack battery-powered trackers attach without wiring, which makes them practical for units that have no vehicle power system, while hard-wired models suit trailer-mounted sets with their own electrical supply. Geofence alerts, movement notifications, and a full location history are available through the web platform and the mobile apps for fleets of any size. Rental firms, contractors, and facility managers can all manage units from a single account.

The right tracker for generators

Most generators sit apart from any vehicle, so a self-contained battery tracker can be fastened or concealed on the frame and operate without wiring into the unit.

What owners use it for

  • Theft and relocation alerts

    Geofences and movement alerts notify owners when a generator leaves the area where it was placed, which matters most for units staged overnight in open lots.

  • Rental and deployment records

    Location history documents where a generator was positioned during a rental or event, which supports billing, return checks, and resolving disputes about when equipment left a site.

  • Locating idle inventory

    Owners with many sets spread across yards and customer sites can see which units are available and which are deployed, reducing unnecessary purchases and unplanned trips.

  • Planned service and readiness

    Maintenance reminders by date or hours help keep standby and prime power units ready, so a generator is serviced before it is needed during an outage.

Alerts that matter for generators

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
  • Movement detected outside geofence
  • After-hours movement alert
  • Low battery warning on tracker
  • Unplug or tamper notification
  • Maintenance due by date

Frequently asked questions

How does a battery tracker stay powered on a generator?

A Korvatrack battery-powered tracker has its own internal power and does not draw from the generator. Reporting intervals can be tuned to balance battery life against update frequency, and a low battery alert warns owners before the unit needs attention.

Can the tracker be hidden on a towable generator?

Trackers are compact and can be mounted inside frames, enclosures, or compartments out of plain view. Placement should leave a clear sky view for GPS reception, so metal enclosures may need a position near a vent or panel opening. Placement matters for signal.

Does tracking work for generators stored in remote areas?

Location reporting relies on GPS and cellular coverage, so units in areas with service report normally. Where coverage is limited, the platform shows the last reported position, and movement history fills in once the device reconnects. Reconnection happens automatically once service returns.
