Portable GPS Tracker Benefits
Realtime Location Updates
Know exactly where your trailers, fleet vehicles, and construction equipment are at all times.
Instant Alerts
Get notified immediately if equipment moves unexpectedly or leaves a job site.
Fleet Vehicle Tracking
Monitor your trucks and service vehicles to prevent delays and improve efficiency.
Powered and Nonpowered Assets
Track trucks, scissor lifts, shipping containers, and other gear no matter the power source.
GPS Tracking App for iOS and Android
Track your equipment, trailers and assets from our easy-to-use GPS tracking app available for free on the App Store and Google Play. Open the map and the tracker sits right where you parked the skid steer, stamped with the last location update.
Scroll back through track history to see every stop your dump trailer made and how long it sat there. Draw geofence alerts around the yard with your finger and choose who gets the push notifications.
Don't want to use the GPS tracking app? Great! Access your GPS tracking data from a computer with a username and passcode!
What Is a Portable GPS Tracker?
A portable GPS tracker is a self-powered device you attach in seconds. No wiring, no downtime, and no service call to schedule. The magnet is what makes the tracker portable. So one unit goes on the skid steer today, then moves to the dump trailer next week. Pull the tracker off, put the tracker where you need it, and carry on. That flexibility is where the money is. Because if you own more equipment than you can keep an eye on, a handful of tracking devices covers a yard full of gear. You simply move them to whatever sits exposed this month.
How Portable GPS Tracking Devices Work
Activate Your GPS Device
Scan the QR code on the back of the tracker. Your account is live in about two minutes. The SIM card ships inside, so there is no carrier to call and nothing extra to buy.
Mount the Tracker or Hardwire It
Set the magnet under a frame rail or behind a battery box. Then walk away. If you want the tracker to stay on one truck permanently, the hardwire kit handles that instead.
Track the Location From Your Phone
Track vehicles, trailers, or equipment in realtime, review location history, and receive instant alerts anytime, anywhere.
What You Can Put a Portable Tracker On
Skid Steers, Generators and Compressors
Equipment sitting on a job site overnight is the easiest thing in your yard to take. So put a GPS tracker on the gear that would hurt most to lose. Realtime location shows where each unit sits. Track history shows how many hours the unit actually earned its keep.
Utility, Dump and Enclosed Trailers
A trailer takes ten seconds to hook up and drive off. Which is why the magnet goes somewhere nobody thinks to look. Set geofence alerts around the yard and you get instant alerts the moment the coupler moves. Not the next morning.
Work Trucks and Service Vans
Your crew trucks carry tools worth more than the truck. Mount a GPS device inside the box or under the bed. Route history tells you where each one stopped and how long the stop ran. Location updates land on your phone the whole time.
GPS Tracking FAQs
What You Need To Know About Portable GPS Trackers
Expect 6 to 12 weeks on standard tracking. Switch to low power mode and extended battery life runs 8 to 12 months. The gap comes down to how often the tracker reports. A dump trailer moving daily drains faster than a generator parked all winter. Cold weather shortens the run as well. Check the level in the app before a long stretch and recharge over a weekend.
Yes, and that is the whole point. Your skid steer or generator has no power source to wire into. So the tracker carries a rechargeable battery and reports on its own. Hardwired tracking devices need a 12-volt supply, which rules out most of what sits in a yard.
Yes, a subscription is required. Satellites give the position, but a cellular network has to carry that data to your phone. Your SIM card ships inside the tracker, so nothing needs setting up. Month to month runs with no contract. Prepay and subscription costs drop: 10 percent off six months, 25 percent off a year, 50 percent off two years. That brings the plan as low as $9.95 a month.
Alerts and notifications reach you three ways: push notifications, text, or email. You pick which. Add a second contact and your foreman gets the same alert you do. Draw a geofence around the yard and anything crossing that line triggers a message. Movement, speed and low battery each have their own alert.
Not for this. Unless you don't care about losing your trailer, construction equipment, or valuable assets. An Apple AirTag is built to find a personal item like keys or a bag. Location comes from nearby iPhones rather than satellites. Park a trailer in a rural lot and no iPhone passes for hours. Not to mention, bluetooth trackers like AirTags notify nearby users so they are not discreet or hidden. A portable GPS tracker reports from anywhere with cell service. You also get geofence alerts, speed and route history, none of which an AirTag offers.
Every OutLaw GPS tracking device carries a lifetime warranty on the hardware. If a unit fails, you get a replacement. Returns run 30 days from the order date, so there is a moneyback guarantee if the tracker does not suit the job. Support is US based and answers the phone.
