“The easiest problem to solve is one that never happens.”
– Gary Laudenslager, SolarTech Service Crew

The surest way to increase productivity is to take good care of both your men and machines. Rental industry studies show that when equipment is well maintained it lasts longer, is rented more often, and is treated with more respect by your customers.

We know – the daily stress of managing a fleet of construction equipment means that (sometimes) routine preventative maintenance is overlooked. SolarTrak Fleet Management has a clever way to keep it on track – our Maintenance Alerts.

Set up the ideal maintenance routine for your equipment, then SolarTrak will remind you when maintenance is due by text of email. You can use the Maintenance Schedule to plan your repair shop’s day, and use the GPS tracker to quickly locate the equipment.

SolarTrak GPS trackers can save you time, money and aggravation:

• Locate equipment by address/GPS co-ordinates
• Monitor your equipment’s battery, and get alerts when voltage drops
• Record exactly when equipment is operating for billing purposes

One of our customers in Arkansas really made our day by retelling this tale:

A customer came in and rented a mini-excavator with a trailer for the day. At the end of the day, he called and asked to extend the rental for a week. The rental house said yes, just come in and sign the paperwork and pay for the extension.

No word from the customer. The rental house called, repeatedly, but the phone went unanswered. Luckily, the excavator had a SolarTrak tracker. For days they watched as it moved from site to site.

We’ll let the owner of the rental center continue:

“With the tracker, we were able to go pick it up. We were grateful for that tracker. It was found in a small rural community two hours from our center, in a part of the country I’ve never been to, parked in a lot off the highway.”

“As far as we know, the thief still doesn’t know we reclaimed it.”

Since they have reported the matter to the police and will be recouping the nearly 20 hours he used the equipment in the week it was missing, they’ve asked to remain anonymous. But we are having fun imagining the thief going to his remote hiding spot and discovering it gone.

Just shows that, thanks to SolarTrak, the good guys had the advantage. Not only was a $20,000 piece of equipment recovered, they will also be able to prove when it was used and get the rental fees back.

It might be hard to think of your skid steer or boom lift as toddlers, but – if you’re not watching – they can get lost and cause panic and concern.

As a Fleet Manager, your job is to supervise a fleet of equipment that’s always on the move between your yard, construction sites or work zones and your repair shop. Sometimes, they aren’t where they should be.

SolarTrak’s mission is to serve as Nanny and Nurse. Like a good nanny, SolarTrak locates, monitors and manages your fleet, and reports to you immediately if something is wrong. And, like a nurse, it will alert you when routine maintenance is due and track equipment repair history, keeping your fleet healthy and productive.

Of course it’s hard to think of your backhoe wandering off or getting into trouble. But for something so vital to your company, wouldn’t it be valuable to know if it does?

Here’s how to know exactly how valuable: See for yourself. Call 484-223-4994 for a free demo today, and see how relaxed and stress-free your job can be.
