Excavators, cranes, loaders & compactors
Construction Equipment Tracking
Heavy equipment is the biggest capital line on a construction project, and the hardest asset to keep an eye on. Dhundhoo gives contractors live location, engine-hour and utilisation data for every machine across every site.
Highway, tunnelling, bridge and irrigation contractors run fleets of excavators, backhoe loaders, cranes, pavers, rollers and batching plants spread across remote sites with patchy connectivity. Dhundhoo's rugged trackers and engine-sensing telematics turn each machine into a measurable asset, so you pay only for the hours that produce work and catch misuse, idling and theft before they cost you the schedule.
The Problem & The Answer
Challenges We Solve
Industry Challenges
Idle & Under-Used Machines
Machines that are switched on but not working, or parked between tasks, quietly inflate cost-per-output. Without engine-hour data nobody can tell productive hours from idle ones.
Theft & Unauthorised Use
Equipment moved off site after hours, or used for private jobs, is a persistent loss on large projects with many sub-contractors and shifting site boundaries.
Missed Maintenance
Service intervals are driven by engine hours, not calendar dates. Paper logs get lost and overdue servicing leads to breakdowns that stall critical-path work.
Rental & Sub-Contractor Billing
Hired equipment and sub-contractor machines are billed on hours claimed. Disputes are common when there is no independent record of actual running time.
Dhundhoo Solutions
Live Equipment Map
Works at remote sitesRugged GPS trackers report location, ignition and movement for every machine, with on-board memory that stores data in dead zones and uploads it when coverage returns.
Engine-Hour & Idle Analytics
Utilisation by machineIgnition and engine-sensing inputs separate working hours from idling. Compare utilisation across machines, operators and sites to rebalance the fleet.
Geofence & Anti-Theft Alerts
Instant alertsDraw geofences around sites, camps and depots. Get instant alerts for movement outside permitted hours or boundaries, plus tamper and power-cut alerts.
Hour-Based Service Reminders
Preventive maintenanceSet service schedules by engine hours or distance. Reminders go to site engineers and the workshop before a machine is due, and every service is logged.
Simple Deployment
How It Works
From first contact to full deployment in as little as 48 hours.
Survey & Device Selection
We list the machine types on your sites and choose the right device for each, from wired trackers for excavators and loaders to battery-backed units for towed or non-powered assets.
Install on Site
Our technicians fit tamper-resistant trackers with ignition and engine-hour inputs. Installation is done at the site or depot with minimal machine downtime.
Configure Sites & Rules
Project sites, camps and depots are set up as geofences. Working hours, idle thresholds and service intervals are configured per machine type.
Monitor & Optimise
Project managers get live status, daily utilisation summaries and weekly reports to move idle machines where they are needed.
Built for Construction Equipment Tracking
Key Platform Features
Rugged Trackers
Built for vibration, dust and wide voltage ranges found on heavy machinery.
Offline Data Buffering
Device memory holds position and engine data in dead zones and syncs on reconnect.
Daily Utilisation Report
Working hours, idle hours and distance per machine, delivered every morning.
Site-Wise Dashboards
Group machines by project, site or contractor with drill-down for each.
Operator Identification
Tag operators with RFID or iButton to link machine hours to people and shifts.
Rental Hours Report
Independent running-hour records to verify hired-equipment and sub-contractor bills.
Real-World Applications
Common Use Cases
Highway & Bridge Projects
Track pavers, rollers, graders and excavators along linear projects, and reallocate idle machines between stretches without phone calls.
Tunnelling & Irrigation
Monitor drilling, loading and hauling machines at remote portals and canal sites where connectivity is limited.
Rental Fleet Management
Equipment rental firms verify hours billed, find units quickly at end of hire and detect out-of-bound use.
