What Business Assets Can You Track?
Portable GPS tracking is useful when equipment changes locations and checking its last reported position matters more than complex fleet analytics. Confirm that the device can be mounted securely and has cellular coverage at each location.
Generators & Portable Power
Check the location of mobile generators moving between worksites and storage areas. Plan battery checks and a secure installation point.
Toolboxes & Equipment Cases
Monitor suitable larger portable assets, while considering whether the device will receive GPS and 4G signals inside a case or enclosure.
Construction Equipment
Review reported positions of compatible equipment between authorized jobsites or storage lots; avoid exposed or unsafe mounting positions.
Utility & Cargo Trailers
Keep location visibility for a trailer without relying on permanent vehicle power. Read the trailer-specific guide →
Shared Business Vehicles
Use authorized tracking for small business vehicles where mobile app location visibility is valuable and everyone receives required notice.
Movable Business Assets
Consider GPS monitoring for compatible high-value mobile assets. Compact items, indoor spaces and metal containers may need another tracking approach.
TrackerOne provides GPS location visibility, history and supported alerts. It is not a full enterprise maintenance, fuel-use, inventory or equipment-utilization management system.
Why Location Visibility Matters for Small Teams
Know the Last Reported Location
Check available location records before dispatching staff to look for a piece of equipment.
Monitor Storage Boundaries
Create supported geo-fence areas around yards or jobsite locations, with alerts that depend on reporting and network conditions.
Review Movement History
Refer to available history when an asset has moved between sites. Tracking does not guarantee immediate updates or recovery.
How Does 4G GPS Asset Tracking Work?
GPS position
When satellite reception is sufficient, the tracker estimates where the device is located.
Cellular reporting
Using supported 4G LTE connectivity and an active plan, it sends updates according to its operating settings.
TrackerOne app
View available location updates, history and compatible geo-fence alerts in the supported app or platform.
Location frequency and reporting may be affected by signal quality, movement, battery settings and device placement.
Battery-Powered Asset Tracking Without Permanent Wiring
Up to 60 days at approximately 2 hours of daily use
This is a usage-dependent estimate—not a claim of 60 days of uninterrupted real-time updates. Actual battery duration depends on reporting intervals, movement, temperature, cellular signal and other settings.
Review S20 Pro options →Before placing a tracker on equipment
- Charge and activate it, then verify reporting.
- Use a secure manufacturer-approved mounting position.
- Keep it away from moving parts, heat and unsafe locations.
- Check satellite and cellular reception after installation.
- Schedule inspections and recharging based on your usage.
A magnetic tracker requires a compatible mounting surface; aluminum and plastic are not inherently magnetic.

GPS Asset Tracking FAQ
Can I track equipment without wiring it into a vehicle?
A rechargeable portable GPS tracker can operate without a permanent electrical connection. It still requires secure installation, battery maintenance and an active tracking service.
Will the tracker work inside a metal toolbox?
Metal enclosures can reduce GPS and cellular reception. Test the chosen mounting position before relying on the device.
Can I see multiple assets in TrackerOne?
TrackerOne provides location and device management features. Confirm account setup and any device or subscription limits before deploying multiple trackers.
Does S20 Pro require a subscription?
Yes. An active TrackerOne service plan is required for 4G location reporting and supported tracking features.
Can I get an alert if equipment leaves a yard?
Supported geo-fence alerts can notify you of reported entry or exit events, subject to update frequency, reception and notification delivery.
Is GPS tracking a theft-prevention guarantee?
No. It helps with location awareness, but cannot physically stop theft, ensure uninterrupted reporting or guarantee recovery.
Is this a fleet or enterprise asset management platform?
This guide focuses on straightforward location tracking of compatible movable assets. Advanced functions such as automated maintenance schedules or equipment utilization metrics should not be assumed.
