Heavy Equipment

With hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in trucks, excavators, backhoes, crawler tractors, wheel loaders, and graders, it is crucial to keep a close watch on your heavy equipment. Users simply cannot afford to have expensive machines breakdown, disappear, or be under-utilized. SkyWave offers low-cost terminals that communicate via satellite and provide crucial location-based and usage information for tracking, monitoring, and managing heavy equipment. Users of SkyWave products enjoy the following benefits:

Monitor equipment from anywhere

Many construction projects occur in areas where there is no cellular coverage. SkyWave satellite communication terminals are designed to reliably operate in such regions and ensure constant communication.

Track all equipment.

Use SkyWave terminals to track and monitor all heavy equipment regardless of age, brand or type. Use the same terminals to monitor other items in the worksite including building and gate entrances, security sensors, pumps and generators.

Improve equipment use.

Use GPS information and two-way satellite communications to quickly locate heavy equipment and ensure they are working at peak efficiency.

Minimize equipment failure and reduced maintenance costs.

Track mileage and the number of hours that equipment is being used. Use the information to schedule maintenance – no more guessing.

Reduce fuel consumption.

Receive alerts when equipment is idling for too long in order to reduce wear on equipment and fuel consumption.

Allow authorized use only.

Use geofencing, electronic timesheets and curfew hours to ensure that equipment is only being used during regular business hours at designated work sites. Receive alarm messages when equipment is used outside of approved areas and during evenings and weekends.

Theft protection.

Remotely lock or immobilize equipment on vehicles to prevent theft.

Reduce speeding

Ensure vehicles are being operated at safe speeds outside of work areas to ensure safety of driver and protect vehicles. Receive alarm notifications when excessive speeding is detected or an accident has occurred.
