Equipment earns money only when it’s working, not when it remains at a remote site after the job is complete.
When equipment falls outside cellular or OEM telematics coverage, manually confirming its location can delay pickup, redeployment and the next rental.
Satellite tracking helps keep remote assets visible no matter where they’re deployed
A fleet with 200 eligible assets that recovers just one idle day per asset each quarter gains 800 additional rentable asset-days per year with no new equipment purchased.
Remote visibility for industrial asset fleets
- Redeploy equipment faster
Quickly locate available assets and return them to revenue-generating work sooner. Reduce equipment idle time and improve utilization across the fleet. - Reduce search time for crews
Know where your assets are and whether they’ve moved, without dispatching technicians to verify manually. Reduce labor hours and time wasted locating equipment across remote jobsites. - Extend visibility across mixed fleets
Bring older machines, compact equipment, mixed-brand units and contractor-owned assets into view, even when they lack active OEM telematics or operate outside dependable cellular coverage.
The SC 1000 satellite tracker is rugged, self-contained and built for industrial conditions. It installs in minutes without wiring or special tools. Designed to work autonomously, it runs on solar power with a backup battery, ensuring reliable performance even for assets left unattended for extended periods.

- Satellite visibility at cellular economics
Extend visibility to assets that don’t justify full OEM telematics. No unnecessary features, just dependable location tracking. - Quick deployment at scale
Install quickly with no need for complex setup, specialized tools or external power sources, making it feasible to roll out fleet-wide. - Location visibility without complexity
This solution is built for reliable asset location and movement tracking, without the complexity of full engine diagnostics or fuel monitoring. Transmits location every six hours when stationary and every 30 min when moving.
Best fit for fleets that:
- Move equipment between remote jobsites, staging yards, branches or customer sites
- Lose visibility outside cellular or OEM telematics coverage
- Spend time locating or verifying equipment manually
- Need location accountability across branches and regions
Not suited for: full telemetry, high-frequency real-time reporting, fuel monitoring or remote control.
Who it serves
- Rental and hire fleets managing mixed equipment
- Contractors moving equipment between customer sites and projects
- Dealers and distributors managing mobile assets across branches
- Construction, mining and quarrying, forestry, logging, agriculture and rural operations

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use satellite tracking for industrial assets instead of standard cellular tracking?
Cellular trackers create blind spots in remote areas. The SC 1000 uses global satellite networks to maintain 100% location visibility, even completely outside cell coverage.
Does the SC 1000 require external power or complex wiring?
No. It is a self-contained, solar-powered unit with a built-in backup battery. It installs securely in minutes without specialized tools or asset integration.
Does this device provide full telemetry or fuel monitoring?
No. The SC 1000 is purposely built for location and movement tracking. It eliminates the high cost and complexity of engine diagnostics and remote control features.
How often does the tracker report its location?
It automatically adjusts based on movement, transmitting an update every 6 hours when stationary and every 30 minutes when moving.
How does this solution improve fleet utilization?
It reduces manual search times for field crews and flags idle equipment at closed jobsites, allowing you to pick up and redeploy assets faster.
What industries and fleet types is the SC 1000 best suited for?
It's designed for mobile industrial asset fleets in rental operations, construction, mining, oil and gas, utilities, and emergency response.
How does the SC 1000 simplify asset pickup and redeployment?
Instead of relying on phone calls or manual site checks, dispatch teams use scheduled GPS updates to instantly verify which units are ready for collection.
Can the SC 1000 help maintenance and service crews?
Yes. When a unit needs service, dispatchers can send technicians directly to the exact GPS coordinates instead of wasting labor hours searching massive jobsites.
Can this tracker be used on any field assets?
Yes. Its wireless design works perfectly for other mobile assets like lighting towers, pumps, air compressors, compact excavators, skid steers, compact track loaders, backhoes, field trailers and more.
How does it help maintain accountability across different branches or jobsites?
It tracks equipment location during branch transfers and across large sites, preventing lost inventory and improving billing accuracy.
How does SC 1000 complement existing OEM telematics?
OEM telematics remains the right tool for engine diagnostics, fuel burn, fault codes and machine health. SC 1000 extends basic location visibility to older, mixed-brand, compact and contractor-owned equipment that does not connect to those systems.
Can it track movement within a single, large jobsite?
Yes. Because it reports every 30 minutes while moving, it catches when equipment is relocated or repositioned across expansive jobsites.
Who on the operations team benefits most from this data?
Fleet managers, operations directors, dispatchers, and field service teams who need reliable equipment tracking.
When is the SC 1000 not the right fit for a fleet?
If you need continuous real-time data streaming, fuel level alerts, engine fault codes or remote control capabilities.
