No risk, no obligation.

Equipment earns money 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 virtually anywhere.

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.

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. It provides location and movement tracking without the added cost of engine diagnostics, fuel monitoring or remote-control functionality.

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 allows teams to see 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.

Can this tracker be used on any field assets?

Yes. Its self-contained design can support many mobile assets, including lighting towers, pumps, air compressors, compact excavators, skid steers, compact track loaders, backhoes, field trailers and more.

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.

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.
