Fast Industry Snapshot

Construction and plant hire operations are constantly moving. Equipment shifts between sites, vehicles travel daily, trailers get disconnected, generators and pumps sit in remote areas, and machinery is often used without clear visibility.

TG Tracking gives contractors and plant hire operators one place to monitor vehicles, machines, trailers, equipment, maintenance, utilisation and site activity.

Pain Points We Help Solve

Asset Theft

Machinery, trailers, tools, generators and pumps are high-value and often left on exposed sites.

After-Hours Misuse

Vehicles and equipment may be used outside approved hours or away from authorised sites.

Poor Site Visibility

Managers do not always know where equipment is, which site it is on or whether it is being used.

Missed Maintenance

Breakdowns delay projects, increase costs and create customer frustration.

Underused Equipment

Plant and machinery may sit idle while the business hires or buys more.

Rental and Usage Disputes

Plant hire operators need proof of movement, usage, location and time on site.
