GPS tracking for fleets and assets, nationwide and worldwide

GPS Tracking for Light Towers and Work Lighting

Korvatrack battery-powered trackers keep light towers visible on a live map, helping rental and contracting fleets prevent loss and manage deployment.

Why track light towers with GPS

Light towers are deployed at night work zones, roadway projects, events, and emergency staging areas, and they are frequently towed, moved, and left unattended. That pattern makes them difficult to account for with spreadsheets. GPS tracking for light towers puts each unit on a live map, so owners know which towers are deployed, where, and which are back in the yard.

With Korvatrack, a battery-powered tracker mounts to the tower frame or trailer without needing to tie into the lighting system. Geofences define yards and active sites, movement alerts signal when a tower is relocated, and trip history gives a record of every move. Everything is available through the browser and the mobile apps. Rental firms and contractors can then manage nightly deployments with far less guesswork.

The right tracker for light towers

Light towers run on their own engine or hybrid system, so an independent battery tracker avoids wiring and fastens discreetly to the trailer or mast base.

What owners use it for

  • Night work deployment tracking

    Live location shows which towers are positioned at active work zones and which remain in the yard, helping schedulers plan lighting for upcoming shifts. Crews are lit on time.

  • Loss and theft prevention

    Movement and geofence alerts give owners early notice when a tower is hooked up and towed away from a site, particularly where units are left overnight in open areas.

  • Rental fleet accountability

    Equipment lessors can verify delivery and return locations, and use trip history to answer customer questions about when a tower moved or arrived. Records settle disputes quickly.

  • Planned maintenance scheduling

    Date-based and hours-based reminders help keep engines, fuel systems, and lamps serviced between deployments, lowering the chance of a failure during a critical night shift.

Alerts that matter for light towers

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
  • Unplug or tamper notification
  • Low battery warning on tracker
  • Maintenance due by date

Frequently asked questions

Can a tracker be attached to a trailer-mounted light tower?

Yes. A battery-powered Korvatrack tracker can be secured to the trailer frame or mast base, away from the tow hitch and out of sight. It reports location independently, so no connection to the tower's engine or lighting circuit is required.

How long will a battery tracker last on a light tower?

Battery life depends on the reporting interval and conditions. Less frequent updates extend life, while frequent updates provide more detail. Korvatrack's low battery alert lets owners plan a swap or recharge before the device stops reporting. Planning avoids surprise outages.

Will tracking help with towers loaned to municipal or event customers?

Shareable location links and geofences make it straightforward to confirm where a tower has been delivered and whether it stays there. Owners keep control of the account and can limit which users view each group of assets. Account roles control who sees what.
