GPS ASSET TRACKING EXPLAINED
What Is a GPS Tracker for Assets?
GPS trackers for assets are small tracking devices that report where property sits and when that property moves. Attach one to trailers, containers, generators or other high value assets. Asset tracking software then shows every tracked asset on one map. Most assets have no power source, so the tracker runs on an internal battery.
GPS Asset Tracking Devices for Every Asset Type
Trailers & Containers
Utility trailers, cargo trailers and shipping containers in yards, on routes and at drop sites.
Heavy Equipment
Excavators, skid steers and loaders parked on job sites overnight and through the weekend.
Generators & Non-Powered Assets
Portable generators, compressors, light towers and attachments with no battery to tap.
Rental & Fleet Inventory
Every rental unit and fleet vehicle on one map, with route history for billing questions.
HOW THE EQUIPMENT TRACKING SYSTEM WORKS
How GPS Asset Tracking Works
Setup takes a few minutes and needs no installer. Download the app, activate the tracker, mount the unit and start getting real time insights on every asset.
Download the SpaceHawk App
Start with the free SpaceHawk app download on your iPhone, Android phone or tablet. Create your account with an email and password in about a minute. The same login opens the secure web dashboard, so your asset tracking software works on every screen.
Scan the QR Code and Activate
Scan the QR code on the tracker to link the unit to your account in seconds. Then pick a plan to activate cellular service, with the SIM included. Plans start at $19.95 month to month, or $9.95 a month on a 2-year prepay.
Mount the Tracker on Your Asset
The IP67 sealed tracker grips any steel surface with a strong internal magnet in less than 60 seconds. Pick a spot with plastic or open air above the unit, since solid metal blocks GPS signals. Need constant power? Add the hardwire kit.
Track Every Asset in Real Time
The tracker reads GPS satellites to find position within about 6 feet, then sends location data over 4G LTE. See every asset on one map, set a virtual boundary and replay a year of routes. Instant alerts tell you when an asset moves.
Construction Assets to Agricultural or any High-value Assets
Industries That Use Asset GPS Tracking
From job sites to farms to drop yards, the setup is the same. Hide one tracker per asset and watch every unit on one map.
Construction
Construction companies lose excavators and generators from job sites. Track construction equipment on every site and get an alert when a machine moves.
Fleet & Transportation
Fleet managers see trucks, vans and trailers on one map. Vehicle tracking with route history and geofence alerts flags unauthorized use after hours.
Equipment Rental
Know where every rental unit sits and when one leaves the designated area. Route history backs up billing on late returns and disputes.
Logistics & Warehousing
Track shipping containers, storage containers and yard trailers across supply chains. Mount the tracker outside steel boxes, since solid metal blocks GPS signals.
Oil & Gas
Compressors, tanks and tools sit on remote, unstaffed sites. Monitor them for up to 6 months in low power mode where cellular coverage reaches.
Agriculture
Tractors and irrigation gear spread across hundreds of acres. Draw a virtual boundary at the property line and receive alerts when anything leaves.
WHY YOU NEED IT | BUSINESS BENEFITS
Do I Need a GPS Tracker for My Assets?
Cut Theft and Improve Asset Utilization
Equipment theft is costly and rarely solved. The last national NER and NICB report counted 11,574 equipment thefts in 2016. Only 21% were recovered, and losses ran an estimated $300 million to $1 billion.
Idle assets cost money too. When fleet managers track assets, they see which machines never leave the yard. That visibility helps improve utilization and moves valuable equipment to where the work is.
Recovery depends on speed. NICB notes that recovery odds rise the faster a theft is reported. Real time tracking gives police a live location instead of a serial number.

ASSET TRACKING CHALLENGES
Why Asset GPS Tracking Is Different
Trailers, containers and generators have no power source to tap. A battery powered device needs no wiring, so the tracker fits any asset.
No Constant Power
Trailers, containers, generators, and tools may sit unused for weeks with no usable power source. Asset trackers need long battery life and motion-activated reporting to stay armed.
Harsh Conditions
Rain, dust and mud come with every job site. IP67 sealing handles harsh job site conditions, including 30 minutes under 1 meter of water.
Remote Locations
Remote sites still need cellular coverage to report. SpaceHawk runs on 4G LTE networks in 150+ countries, and updates resume when signal returns.
Long Idle Periods
Seasonal storage leaves assets parked for months. Battery life depends on update frequency, and low power mode stretches a charge to 6 months.
High Theft Risk
Only 21% of stolen equipment came back in the last national report. Instant alerts on unauthorized movement give you a head start.

Already have 27 of them across our fleet of equipment and trailers, and I just got a few more. Easy to group by job site, and battery life is awesome. Best GPS tracker we've found for multi-asset use.

Your device was a life saver! One of our trailers was taken off a job site and within 20 minutes I had the location pinned. Called the police, they recovered it and the contents the same day.

Have a couple on my utility trailers and generators. Had AirTags before - they were able to detect and remove them. SpaceHawk is much harder to find. Battery is solid.

Put this tracker on 4 work trucks and a generator set. The app shows job sites, stops, everything. Took five minutes per unit. Battery's still good, but I wired the trucks anyway. Very easy.

Magnet is really tough and the device was smaller than I expected - great for hiding it on attachments and small assets. Nice tracker overall. Subscription is worth it for real-time tracking.

GPS Tracker for Assets FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is GPS Asset Tracking?
GPS asset tracking uses small tracking devices and asset tracking software to show where equipment, trailers and vehicles are. The tracker reports location, the software maps the data, and alerts flag unauthorized movement. The result is near real time visibility into assets that used to live on a spreadsheet.
How Accurate Is a GPS Tracker for Assets?
SpaceHawk is accurate to about 6 feet under open sky. The tracker uses GPS, the satellite system run by the U.S. Space Force. Solid metal, tunnels and dense buildings weaken signals. Mount the unit where plastic, glass or open air sits above the tracker.
How Long Does an Asset Tracker Battery Last?
Battery life depends on the update frequency. SpaceHawk runs 1 to 3 weeks on updates between 3 seconds and 3 minutes. Low power mode stretches a charge up to 6 months. Signal strength, temperature and battery age also play a part.
Do Asset Trackers Have a Monthly Fee?
Yes, live tracking needs a cellular data plan. SpaceHawk costs $19.95 month to month or $9.95 a month on a 2-year prepay.
The SIM is included, with no roaming fees. The No Monthly Fee GPS is $249.95 with 12 months included, then a regular plan applies. For five units or more, request a fleet quote.
Do Asset Trackers Need Wiring or External Power?
No. Battery powered devices suit non powered assets like trailers, containers and generators, with no wiring needed. The magnet holds SpaceHawk on steel in less than 60 seconds. For powered assets that run daily, the hardwire kit fits any 6 to 24V source and never needs charging.
What Is the Difference Between GPS and RFID Tracking?
Radio frequency identification (RFID) tracking reads a tag when an asset passes a scanner, like a warehouse door. GPS tracking reports location anywhere with cellular coverage.
Some hybrid tracking systems combine both. RFID tracking suits small asset tracking inside one building, while GPS suits assets that travel.
Does SpaceHawk Track Engine Hours and Maintenance?
SpaceHawk tracks location, movement and trip history, not engine hours. Full asset management software often adds maintenance history, service reminders and certificate expiration dates. Route history still shows how often each asset moved. That helps plan maintenance around actual usage.
How Do Geofence Alerts Work?
A geofence is a virtual boundary drawn on a map in the app. When an asset leaves or enters that designated area, you receive alerts in near real time. InstaFence draws a quick fence around a parked asset, which helps prevent theft overnight.
How Does SpaceHawk Help Recover Stolen Assets?
An instant alert tells you the asset moved. Open the app and follow location updates as fast as every 3 seconds. Call police and give them the current location, not a description. For your own safety, let officers handle the recovery.
Can SpaceHawk Track Small Assets and Power Tools?
Yes, through the case or cart that holds them. The Mini measures 2.275 inches across and 0.945 inches tall. Place the unit inside a job box or tool trailer rather than on one power tool. Keep plastic, not solid steel, between the tracker and the sky.
