Frequently Asked Questions

What benefits does plant tracking offer for construction businesses?

Plant tracking provides construction businesses with real-time location monitoring of valuable equipment, preventing theft and unauthorised use. Our advanced plant tracking systems deliver instant alerts if machinery is moved without permission, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investments. With comprehensive telemetry reporting, you'll gain valuable insights into equipment usage patterns, helping optimise operations and reduce downtime. P&MT's plant tracking solutions are designed specifically for the construction industry, with IP69-rated hardware that withstands harsh site conditions.

How do plant trackers work with our existing fleet management systems?

Our plant trackers are designed for seamless integration with most existing fleet management platforms. Using advanced GPS and telematics technology, our plant trackers provide real-time location data that can be accessed through our user-friendly platform or potentially integrated with your current systems. The installation process is handled by our ex-plant engineers who are extensively trained in telematics, ensuring proper setup with minimal disruption. P&MT's plant trackers can be customised to report specific data points including CANBUS and MODBUS information, making them versatile additions to your fleet management infrastructure.

Can a machinery tracker help prevent theft of our equipment?

Absolutely. A machinery tracker is one of the most effective theft deterrents available for high-value equipment. Our machinery tracker solutions provide real-time location monitoring and instant alerts if equipment is moved without authorisation. For comprehensive security, we recommend pairing our machinery tracker with one of our purpose-built immobilisers like the E-Lock Keypad or Thatcham-approved RFID Fob system. This dual-layer approach ensures that even if thieves attempt to bypass the immobiliser, you'll be immediately alerted via the tracking system, giving you time to arrange for an appropriate response. Our machinery tracker systems have proven highly effective at both preventing theft and recovering stolen equipment.

What types of trackers for plant machinery do you offer?

P&MT offers several specialised trackers for plant machinery to suit different requirements. Our flagship IP69 Plant Tracker is highly versatile, providing a wide range of data including optional CANBUS and MODBUS integration. For enhanced security, we offer trackers for plant machinery with options for remote immobilisation capabilities, though we generally recommend separate dedicated immobilisation systems for optimal protection. Our trackers for plant machinery feature robust construction with options for internal or external antennas, including panel-mounted or screen-mounted configurations. All our systems include features such as ignition alerts, geofencing, and motion detection, which can be configured to your specific operational needs.

How difficult is it to install a plant tracker on different types of equipment?

Installing a plant tracker is a straightforward process when handled by our qualified team. Our ex-plant engineers have extensive experience installing trackers across various equipment types including excavators, tractors, rollers, bulldozers, MEWPs, and generators. The installation process typically takes 1-2 hours depending on the equipment type and desired features. Our engineers ensure all installations are covert and professional, with wiring that's discreetly integrated to appear factory-fitted. The plant tracker hardware is robustly mounted in protected locations to withstand the harsh environments typically encountered in construction and agricultural applications. After installation, we provide comprehensive training on using the monitoring platform to ensure you get maximum benefit from your new plant tracker system.
