What Rugged Tracking Makes Possible
Track Assets With No Diagnostic Port
Cut Idle and Stop Renting What You Own
Protect High-Value Equipment From Theft
A hardwired install reaches excavators, trailers and machinery with no port to plug into, the assets standard trackers miss.
See which machines run, sit or move, so idle gear gets used instead of re-rented.
A hardwired device can't be quietly unplugged, and movement alerts flag a theft the moment it happens.
Run-Time Data, Not Just a Dot on a Map

Common Questions About the Geotab GO Rugged
What is the Geotab GO Rugged tracker for?
The Geotab GO Rugged is a sealed, hardwired GPS tracker built for heavy equipment that has no OBD-II port to plug into, like excavators, generators and trailers. It puts that hard-to-track equipment on the same map as your trucks.
How does it install if there is no OBD-II port?
It hardwires directly into the equipment's power, so it reaches machinery and trailers that plug-in trackers can't. That wired connection also means it can't be quietly unplugged.
Is it tough enough for a real job site?
Yes. It's sealed against dust, water and high-pressure wash-downs (rated IP68 and IP69K) and runs from -40°C to +85°C, built to take the abuse of construction and off-road work.
What can it track besides location?
Beyond GPS location, it logs engine run-time hours and heavy-duty engine diagnostics, so you can schedule maintenance on real usage and bill customers from verified run-time.
Can it help recover stolen equipment?
Yes. Because it's hardwired in, a thief can't simply unplug it, and movement alerts flag unexpected activity the moment it happens, so you can recover stolen machines fast.
Will it work with my trucks on the same system?
It will. The Geotab GO Rugged runs on the same Geotab platform as your road vehicles, so equipment and trucks show up together in one dashboard with the same reports and alerts.
