GPS tracking for fleets and assets, nationwide and worldwide

GPS Tracking for Roll-Off Dumpsters

Korvatrack battery-powered trackers let haulers see where every roll-off container sits, how long it has been placed, and when it is moved or removed.

Why track roll-off dumpsters with GPS

A roll-off dumpster fleet spreads across a service area with units sitting on driveways, construction sites, and commercial lots, and a container that disappears or sits too long reduces revenue. GPS tracking for roll-off dumpsters gives haulers a live map of each container, so dispatchers know what is deployed, what is full, and what is available. Owners avoid costly guesswork.

Korvatrack battery-powered trackers attach to the container's frame or side rail and report on their own, without wiring. Geofences around yards and disposal sites record pickups and returns, and movement alerts flag containers that are moved by someone else. The web and mobile apps keep drivers, dispatchers, and owners working from the same information. Haulers of every size can then manage container fleets with fewer calls.

The right tracker for roll-off dumpsters

Roll-off containers have no power source and take heavy abuse, so a rugged battery tracker secured inside a frame section or channel works well without wiring.

What owners use it for

  • Container inventory control

    A live map shows every roll-off, whether it is in the yard, on a job, or in transit, so dispatchers can assign a container without calling drivers.

  • Placement duration tracking

    Location history shows how long a dumpster has sat at a site, helping haulers schedule pickups and bill for extended rentals accurately. Billing becomes easier.

  • Theft and misplacement alerts

    Geofences and movement alerts catch containers that are relocated, hauled off, or left outside the intended area, which protects expensive steel units. Owners can respond promptly.

  • Disposal site records

    Geofence entry and exit records confirm when a container reached a landfill or transfer station, documenting each haul and supporting driver and route reviews. Records remain on file.

Alerts that matter for roll-off dumpsters

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
  • Geofence entry at disposal site
  • Geofence exit from customer site
  • Low battery warning on tracker
  • Unplug or tamper notification

Frequently asked questions

Can a tracker survive being dumped and hauled repeatedly?

A battery tracker should be mounted in a protected spot on the container frame, away from impact points and dumping surfaces. Secure fastening and sensible placement help it withstand the heavy handling that roll-off containers receive. Mounting position inside the frame matters for durability and signal.

Does tracking help bill customers for extended rentals?

Location history and geofence records show when a container arrived at a site and how long it stayed. Haulers can use that data to support rental billing and answer customer questions about timing. This avoids disputes and keeps customer conversations based on facts instead of memory.

How many dumpsters can one Korvatrack account manage?

Korvatrack is built for fleets from a handful of devices to thousands, so a hauler can add trackers as the container fleet grows. User roles help separate yard staff, dispatchers, and owners within one account. Adding devices as the fleet grows is straightforward.
