Case study

J&M Contracting recovers $50,000 backhoe quickly

Black quotes

On a Saturday morning, I got an alert that the backhoe was being utilized.... I got in my truck and drove up there. While I was driving, I was talking with the Anderson County Sheriff Department. So I got there. I went right to the backhoe. It was eight tenths of a mile from the job site.

Frequently asked questions


What is heavy equipment?

Heavy equipment refers to large machinery built for tasks like earthmoving, construction, mining and agriculture. Some common examples of heavy equipment include bulldozers, cranes, excavators, road graders, dump trucks, and backhoes.

Why do I need a GPS tracker for my heavy equipment?

You need a GPS tracker for heavy equipment to help stop theft, lower operating costs, and automate maintenance. Bulldozers, excavators, and generators left at remote job sites are targets, so tracking systems protect these physical assets and improve daily work efficiency. 

How do I track my heavy equipment on job sites?

Tracking heavy equipment on job sites requires a mix of hardware and software. Use GPS trackers for large machinery like excavators and cranes, and a central management platform like Reveal to view real-time maps, engine hours and security alerts in one dashboard.

How often should my heavy equipment be serviced?

Heavy equipment service intervals depend on operating hours and manufacturer guidelines. Using a tracking solution like Reveal makes inspections and tracking equipment usage simple so you can keep heavy equipment operational.

How do I check if my heavy equipment has been stolen?

With Reveal you can get instant alerts if a loader's ignition is triggered outside of approved working hours or weekend shifts to identify unauthorized use. Geofences help you to identify if the equipment has left the job site. GPS tracking allows you to view the equipment’s location so you can lead law enforcement directly to it for recovery.
