Find Your Equipment. Secure Your Jobsites. Put Idle Machines to Work.
Construction equipment tracking puts the live location of your machines, attachments and tools on one map. GPX pairs cellular GPS trackers with Bluetooth tags, geofences every jobsite in seconds and alerts you the moment gear moves without authorization. Idle reports show which owned machines sit unused, so you rent less and recover stolen equipment faster.
Excavators, skid steers, generators, light towers, compressors and trailers move between jobsites, yards and rental returns every week. GPX construction asset tracking shows where each one is, whether it is inside its geofence and whether it is actually working. Commercial or residential, heavy civil or specialty trade, your project managers stop calling around and start dispatching.
How do construction companies track excavators and skid steers? With a battery-powered GPS tracker on each machine, Bluetooth tags on attachments and tools, and a geofence around every site, all on one map. Read the full answers: how contractors track excavators and skid steers, the best GPS trackers for heavy construction equipment and GPS trackers for rental equipment.
See every machine and tool on one live map. If gear leaves a site after hours, you get an alert and its location.
Idle and dwell reports show which owned machines sit unused, so you move them before renting another.
AssetTag Pro goes on hand tools, lasers and attachments, so small gear shows up on the same map as your machines.
Geofence every jobsite and laydown yard so movement outside work hours triggers an instant alert.
Knowing what you own and where it sits keeps your owned fleet working, trims short-term rentals and protects project margins.
Ask in plain language which machines idled this week or which ones left a site.
Jobsites are dusty, wet and often unattended. GPX trackers are IP67 and anti-tamper, and you get an alert if someone tries to remove one.
After-Hours Theft Alerts: Know the moment a machine leaves the yard
One Map for Every Site: Locate machines, attachments and tools in seconds
Geofences in Seconds: Scout AI fences every jobsite for you
AssetTrack runs up to 10 years on one daily GPS fix and mounts by magnet, so trailers, light towers and generators need no wiring.
Jobsite Tough: IP67, magnetic and anti-tamper, with a replaceable battery
Hardware and Service Included: No separate hardware purchase
Reads Nearby Tool Tags: Picks up AssetTag tags within 80 ft
AssetTrack Mini hides on steel with an internal magnet, which makes it hard to spot on compact equipment, attachments, plate compactors and gang boxes.
Up to 5-Year Battery: Fewer trips to swap or charge
Hardware and Service Included: Start tracking without a separate hardware buy
Low Profile: Hides on steel where thieves are less likely to look
Fewer Rentals. Fewer Losses.
Track heavy equipment, small tools and staged materials across every active project from one platform.
A stolen skid steer, a generator parked at the wrong site or a missing delivery can stop a crew for a day. GPS trackers and tags show where every asset is and what it is doing, so you can respond before the delay reaches your schedule.
Construction sites are open, spread out and empty at night, which makes equipment easy to take. The National Insurance Crime Bureau estimates $300 million to $1 billion in construction equipment is stolen in the U.S. each year. Geofence each jobsite, get an instant alert when a machine moves outside work hours and hand responders a live location.
When nobody knows where a machine is, crews wait, foremen call around and someone rents a second one. Idle and dwell analytics show which owned equipment is sitting unused and where. Move it to the job that needs it, return rentals on time and base buy-or-rent decisions on real utilization instead of guesswork.
Hand tools, lasers, attachments and gang boxes go missing one at a time, and the losses add up quietly. AssetTag Pro sticks, hangs or screws onto smaller items and ships activated with no app pairing. Phones and devices already in the field pick it up, so tagged tools show up without a GPX gateway on site.
See equipment as it leaves the yard, rides on a trailer, works on site and comes back. One view of machines, tools and staged materials helps you coordinate crews and keep projects on schedule. Locations, geofence events and idle data can also flow into your ERP or dispatch software through the GPX platform API and webhooks.
Construction teams usually put AssetTag Pro on tools and attachments, AssetTrack Charge on unpowered equipment and RoadTrack Wired on powered machines. Related solutions: equipment tracking, heavy equipment tracking and asset tracking. See every GPX tracking solution or all industries.

Construction Equipment Tracking: Your Questions Answered
Common questions contractors ask about GPS tracking for construction equipment and tools
You use a battery GPS tracker that needs no wiring. AssetTrack runs up to 10 years on one daily GPS fix and attaches by magnet, so it suits trailers, generators, light towers, compressors and attachments. For hand tools and smaller items, AssetTag Pro adds a Bluetooth tag with up to 3 years of battery. Both show up on the same map as your powered machines.
Most contractors use both. GPS trackers report location over the cellular network, so they fit machines and trailers that travel between jobsites. Bluetooth tags are smaller and easier to put on many tools. AssetTag works within 80 ft of an AssetTrack, while AssetTag Pro is picked up by phones and devices already in the field. Passive RFID, by contrast, only records an item when it passes a fixed reader.
It tells you a machine is moving and shows you where it is going. Geofence each jobsite and yard, and an alert fires the moment equipment leaves without authorization, even at night or on a weekend. You share the live location with police instead of filing a report with no leads. Learn more about heavy equipment tracking.
Yes. AssetTag Pro hangs, sticks or screws onto tools, lasers, attachments and gang boxes. It ships activated with no app pairing and is rated IP67. For small powered or unpowered equipment, AssetTrack Mini hides on steel with an internal magnet and lasts up to 5 years. Tools and machines appear together, so you can see what is on each jobsite at a glance.
Most deployments go live in days, not quarters. Battery trackers mount by magnet with no wiring. RoadTrack Wired needs a 2-wire install on 9-36 V DC machines. AssetTrack OBD plugs into the OBD-II port of pickups and light trucks built since 1996 in under a minute. Scout AI then geofences every jobsite in seconds, so alerts start right away.
Yes. GPX sends locations, geofence events and idle data to ERP, WMS and TMS systems through API, webhooks and data feeds. If your construction management software accepts data through an API or webhook, equipment location can flow there too. Your office then works from current equipment data instead of spreadsheets that were updated last week.
Cost depends on how many assets you track and which devices fit them, so GPX quotes each fleet after a short conversation. Hardware and service come together in one subscription, with no separate hardware purchase. The return comes mostly from fewer rentals, less idle time and faster theft recovery. Get started to scope your fleet.
