Construction & heavy equipment
Know what every machine is doing,
on every site.
Fleetbooks tracks excavators, loaders, tippers and site vehicles on one map. See utilisation and idle time, service on engine hours, and get alerted the moment equipment moves when it shouldn't.
- Servicing on engine hours
- Site geofences and night-time alerts
- Remote immobilise

Works with the trackers already in your vehicles
Expensive machines, scattered sites, little visibility.
Plant is the most expensive part of the fleet, and the hardest to keep an eye on.
- 01
Idle plant
Machines sitting on one site while another hires in the same kit.
- 02
Hidden idling
Engines running all day with little work done, burning fuel.
- 03
Theft and misuse
Equipment moved at night or used for jobs it wasn't booked for.
- 04
Missed servicing
Services tracked on paper, so breakdowns happen mid-job.
- 05
Overloaded tippers
Fines, tyre wear and road damage from loads nobody measured.
Mixed-fleet visibility from one platform.
Every asset on one map
Vehicles and powered plant from any supported tracker brand, all on one live map with status and location.
- Group assets by site, project or class
- Moving, idle and stopped status
- iOS and Android apps for site managers

Utilisation and idle time
See how many hours each machine actually works and how long it idles. Move kit between sites and stop hiring what you already own.
- Utilisation statistics and monthly metrics per asset
- Idle-time alerts per asset or group
- Best and worst performing assets compared side by side

Site geofences and time on site
Draw a geofence around every site and yard. Know when machines arrive and leave, and how long they spend on each job.
- Entry and exit reports per site for billing and timesheets
- No-Exit zones for kit that should never leave a compound
- Night-time exit reports to spot after-hours movement

Stop theft and unauthorised use
Get an alert when equipment leaves a zone outside working hours. Where the tracker supports it, immobilise the engine remotely.
- Geofence breach alerts by email, SMS and in-app push
- Remote engine immobilise with delivery confirmation
- RFID operator ID and authorised drivers per machine

Service on engine hours
Plant runs on hours, not miles. Schedule services by engine hours, distance or date, and get daily reminders of what's due.
- Maintenance, inspection and renewal schedules in one calendar
- Custom pre-start inspection checklists
- Certificates, insurance and permits tracked as renewals
- Live engine data where the machine supports it

Axle load and fuel
Catch overloading before the tipper leaves the quarry, and catch fuel going missing from machines on site.
- Calibrated axle load readings with overload monitoring
- Fuel level tracking with theft and refuel detection
A week on site.
