RoadTrack Wired: the hardwired GPS tracker for anything with a power source. Two wires in. Nothing to charge, ever.
Wire it in once and it disappears into the asset. RoadTrack Wired taps your vehicle or equipment's own power — battery, ignition, or a constant feed anywhere from 9 to 36 volts — and drops a fresh GPS fix every 400 metres travelled. Distance, not a clock: you get a clean breadcrumb of the actual route and no wasted reports while the asset sits still.
And if someone cuts the power to hide where an asset went, a 300 mAh backup battery keeps it reporting for up to 24 hours. Install is a 2-wire harness — power and ground — on any 12 V or 24 V vehicle, forklift, generator, or light tower.
It reports on distance, not on a clock. So the trail matches the route.
RoadTrack Wired reports over 4G LTE Cat-M1 / NB2 across AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Alaska Wireless and Union Telecom — a stable connection virtually anywhere in the United States. A 3-axis accelerometer tells it when the asset is actually moving, so reports land where something happened instead of piling up in a parking lot.
The device in action
Reporting · Power · BackupBuilt for the assets that already carry their own power. Which is most of them.
Distance-based reporting
A fresh GPS fix every 400 metres travelled — the trail follows the route rather than a timer, so you can see exactly where an asset went.
Or a 30-second cadence
Prefer time-based? Switch to a report every 30 seconds while moving and hourly while stationary, remotely from the GPX platform.
Powered by the asset
Hardwired to DC 9–36 V — any 12 V or 24 V vehicle or powered machine. Continuous operation with no battery to charge, swap, or think about.
24-hour backup battery
A 300 mAh 3.7 V lithium-polymer cell keeps location reports flowing for up to a day if primary power is disconnected or fails.
A genuinely simple install
Two wires — power and ground — through the included harness. No OBD port required, no dealer visit, no specialist tooling.
Geofence alerts
Draw a yard, a jobsite, or a customer location and get alerted the moment an asset enters or leaves it. Set once, then let it watch.
Five carrier networks
LTE Cat-M1 / NB2 with eGPRS fallback across AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Alaska Wireless and Union Telecom — coverage where one carrier alone would drop.
Inputs, outputs, and a motion sensor
ACC and IN1 digital inputs, a relay output, and a 3-axis accelerometer — the hooks you need to tie tracking into how the asset actually gets used.
RoadTrack Wired, by the numbers.

RoadTrack Wired is the straightforward choice for powered assets — vehicles, forklifts, generators, light towers — where a two-wire tap means real-time tracking with nothing to charge. If you also want to track the unpowered things around that asset, or you would rather not touch any wiring at all, a sibling device fits better. They all report into the same GPX platform.
BLE RoadWired
The same hardwired idea plus a Bluetooth gateway: it tracks the vehicle and reports the location of nearby BLE-tagged tools, pallets and containers as it passes them.

AssetTrack OBD
Seats in the OBD-II port and puts the vehicle on the map in under a minute. No harness, no installer, no appointment — move it between vehicles in seconds.

AssetTrack
For trailers, containers and equipment with nothing to wire into: a rugged battery tracker that runs for up to a decade on one charge.

How frequently does the RoadTrack Wired report?
By default it reports every 400 metres while the asset is moving, so the location trail follows the route the asset actually travelled. You can switch it to a time-based mode instead — every 30 seconds while moving and once an hour while stationary — remotely from the GPX platform.
Does it need a battery?
No. RoadTrack Wired is hardwired into your vehicle or powered asset, so it draws continuous power and there is nothing to charge or replace. It does carry a 300 mAh backup battery, which keeps location reports coming for up to 24 hours if that primary power is disconnected or fails.
How do I install the device?
It ships with a simple two-wire harness that connects to your asset's power source — the battery, the ignition, or another constant feed. Anything running 9 to 36 volts DC works, which covers effectively every 12 V and 24 V vehicle and machine. No OBD port and no specialist tooling required.
What network does the device use?
LTE Cat-M1 and Cat-NB2 with eGPRS fallback, across AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Alaska Wireless and Union Telecom (CO/WY). Spanning several carriers is what keeps the connection stable in places a single network would drop.
What happens if someone unplugs it?
You keep getting locations. The internal 300 mAh backup battery takes over the moment primary power stops and continues reporting for up to 24 hours — long enough to find the asset rather than just discover it is gone.
What can I put it on besides vehicles?
Anything with a 9–36 V power source. Customers run it on forklifts, construction equipment, generators, light towers, reefer units and trailers with power. If the asset has no power at all, AssetTrack or AssetTrack Charge is the better fit.
Is it weatherproof?
It carries an IPX5 rating, which means it is protected against water jets from any direction — fine for engine bays, cabs and enclosed equipment compartments. For assets that sit fully exposed to standing water or heavy washdown, choose an IP67 or IP68 device such as AssetTrack or BLE RoadWired.
Can I get alerts when an asset leaves a site?
Yes. Draw a geofence around a yard, jobsite or customer location in the GPX platform and you will be alerted whenever the asset enters or exits it — no extra hardware and no configuration on the device itself.
Wire it in once. Then stop thinking about it.
