GPS trackers show you where your vehicles, trailers and equipment are in real time, from your phone or laptop. MSL supplies three types. Hardwired vehicle trackers suit fleets that need live location and trip history. Battery-powered asset trackers suit trailers, generators and gear with no power supply. Satellite theft-alert trackers warn you when something moves and keep reporting where there is no mobile coverage. Pair any of them with fleet software for geofences, alerts and reporting. Not sure which fits? Tell us what you need to track and we will point you to the right unit.
Which GPS tracker do you need?
Ever had a trailer go walkabout with no idea where it ended up? Start with what you are tracking.
Vehicles and fleets
The Mongoose VT904 wires into the vehicle's power for continuous tracking, with no batteries to charge. It suits utes, trucks and service vans that need live location and trip history.
Trailers, machinery and non-powered assets
The Logic Connect Oyster3 runs on long-life batteries, so it fits equipment with no power connection. It reports location at set intervals to keep battery use down.
Theft alerts and remote assets
The Spot Trace reports via satellite rather than the mobile network, so it keeps working in areas with no cell signal. It sends an alert as soon as the asset moves.
Fleet software
Navman Fleet Management and Viewtech Fleetview turn tracker data into dashboards, geofences, alerts and reports for the whole fleet.
Looking for a beacon or satellite messenger?
Personal locator beacons, EPIRBs and two-way satellite messengers are built for emergencies, not asset tracking. You will find them in Personal Locator Beacons and Satellite Communications.
Why buy through MSL
MSL has supplied and installed tracking and communications equipment for over 25 years from our base in Mount Maunganui. We install across the Bay of Plenty, Coromandel, Rotorua, Taupō and Waikato, supply nationwide, and set up the software so your team can use it straight away. The tracker is the easy part. Getting it fitted and working properly is where we earn our keep.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an asset GPS tracker used for?
An asset GPS tracker is a compact, battery-powered device fitted to equipment, trailers, and machinery that doesn't have its own power source. It gives real-time location, usage monitoring, and theft protection for gear that regularly moves between sites.
What's the difference between an asset tracker and a vehicle GPS tracker?
Vehicle trackers wire into a vehicle's power supply for continuous tracking. Asset trackers run on long-life batteries, making them suited to trailers, generators, and equipment without a power connection.
How long does an asset GPS tracker battery last?
Battery life depends on the device and reporting frequency, but most commercial asset trackers we supply run for months between charges at standard reporting intervals.
