Your equipment doesn't disappear during business hours.
A contractor in Dallas left a $35,000 generator on a jobsite over a weekend. Monday morning, it was gone. No witnesses. No cameras. No leads.
He's not alone — equipment theft costs U.S. businesses $400 billion every year, and fewer than 1 in 4 stolen machines are ever recovered.
The average stolen piece of equipment costs $10,000–$50,000 to replace — before you factor in project delays, insurance deductibles, and lost revenue.
The Pulse Engine equipment GPS tracker changes those odds. Know the instant your equipment moves, where it goes, and whether it's running — all from your phone, for less than 50 cents a day.
Automatic engine hour tracking. Zero manual logging.
What is the Pulse Engine? A hardwired GPS tracker that monitors real-time location, speed, and engine hours for any powered machine with an 8V–32V electrical system.
Schedule maintenance before breakdowns
Service intervals based on actual runtime — not calendar guesses.
Bill rental customers by actual usage
Engine hours give you usage-based billing data your customers can't dispute.
See which equipment earns its keep
Utilization data shows which machines sit idle and which are overworked.
Protect resale value
Documented engine hour logs add transparency when selling or trading equipment.
One tracker. Every type of powered equipment.
The Pulse Engine works with any machine running on 8V–32V.
Generators
Track portable and towable generators on jobsites, events, and remote locations.

Why hardwire? Because equipment tracking shouldn't be another task on your list.
Battery trackers are great for trailers and toolboxes. But for powered equipment, hardwiring gives you more.

FAQs
What kind of equipment does this work with?
Any powered equipment with an 8V–32V electrical system. Generators, air compressors, skid steers, excavators, forklifts, boom lifts, welders, light towers — if it has an ignition or battery you can wire to, it works.
How does engine hour tracking work?
The tracker detects ignition status and logs runtime automatically. You can view total engine hours, usage patterns, and idle time in the app — useful for maintenance scheduling, rental billing, and utilization tracking.
How do I install it?
Connect the red wire to constant power (8V–32V) and the black wire to ground. Most installations take 15–20 minutes. The compact size (3.3" x 2" x 0.65") makes it easy to conceal inside equipment panels or housings. Mounting adhesive is included.
Will it drain my equipment's battery?
No. It draws minimal current. The built-in backup battery also continues tracking briefly if power is disconnected — so you'll get an alert if someone cuts the wires.
What happens if someone steals my equipment?
You'll know immediately. Set up geofence alerts (get notified when equipment leaves a jobsite), power disconnect alerts, and movement alerts. Real-time tracking lets you share the location with law enforcement.
Is it actually waterproof?
Yes — IP67 rated. It handles rain, dust, mud, and pressure washing. Built for outdoor equipment that lives on jobsites, not in garages.
How fast are location updates?
Up to 5-second updates for real-time tracking. You can also run historical reports to see where equipment has been and how long it ran.
Can I track multiple pieces of equipment?
Yes. The app supports unlimited devices on one account. See all your equipment on a single map, run reports across your fleet, and manage alerts for each asset individually.
