TOOLS
Find the right equipment tracking device at Entopizo to protect tools and machinery from theft and keep track of their location at all times.
An equipment tracking device is built for assets that do not have their own battery or ignition circuit to draw power from, such as generators, compressors, trailers, containers, or power tools kept on a job site. Entopizo offers the Teltonika ATC700 4G for this exact purpose, aimed at contractors, rental companies, construction firms, and anyone who moves valuable equipment between sites and needs to know where it is.
This category is for owners who have had equipment go missing, who manage a pool of tools shared across crews, or who simply want proof of location for insurance and accountability. It is also relevant for fleets that mix vehicles with non-powered assets and want one platform covering both.
Why tools and equipment need tracking
Tools and machinery are attractive targets because they are portable, resellable, and often left unattended overnight or over a weekend on a site. Unlike a car, equipment has no alarm, no ignition, and often no fixed storage location. A GPS tracker for tools gives you a way to see where an asset is right now, get an alert if it moves outside working hours, and build a location history if something disappears.
- Construction equipment left on unfenced sites
- Generators and compressors moved between jobs
- Trailers and containers stored off-site
- Rental equipment that needs to be recovered on schedule
How to choose the right device
Since most equipment has no vehicle battery to tap into, battery life and build quality are the main factors. The ATC700 4G is designed to run on its own internal battery for extended periods and report position on a schedule rather than continuously, which preserves battery life while still giving you regular updates. Mounting is typically done with screws, brackets, or industrial adhesive depending on the surface, and the unit should be placed where it is not easily spotted or removed.
When evaluating an asset tracker for equipment, consider reporting frequency, battery life under real conditions, and whether the device can trigger a movement alert. These three factors matter more for unpowered assets than features like CanBUS, which are built for vehicles with an engine computer.
Installation and the subscription
Installation is straightforward since there is no wiring to the equipment's electrical system. The tracker is mounted securely, powered on, and registered on the Entopizo platform. From there it reports position according to its configured schedule.
The subscription includes the SIM card and its data connection, access to the Entopizo tracking platform and mobile apps, and alert notifications such as unauthorized movement. A tracker without a subscription can still store location data, but it has no way to send that data anywhere, so you only see where the asset has been if you physically retrieve the device and connect it. With an active subscription you see position and movement as they happen, from any browser or phone, without touching the hardware.
Real use cases
Construction companies use this device to monitor generators and compressors parked on sites overnight, receiving an alert the moment one is moved. Equipment rental businesses use it to confirm that returned units match the agreed route and timeline, and to locate an asset quickly if a client goes silent. Facility managers use it on shared machinery that rotates between buildings, keeping an accurate picture of where each unit is without manual logging.
Frequently asked questions
Can this tracker work without external power?
Yes, the ATC700 4G is built to run on its own internal battery, which is why it suits tools and equipment that have no electrical connection of their own.
What happens if I stop the subscription?
Without an active subscription the SIM has no data connection, so the device cannot send its position to the platform. The tracker itself keeps working, but you lose live visibility and alerts until the subscription is active again.
How is this different from a vehicle tracker?
Vehicle trackers are generally wired into the car's electrical system and report continuously. This device is self-powered and reports on a schedule to save battery, which fits equipment that sits idle for long stretches.
Can I get an alert if the equipment is moved without permission?
Yes, movement alerts are part of the platform, so you are notified as soon as the asset leaves its expected location.
