Construction telematics for fleet and equipment management
Protect your valuable construction equipment
Enhance performance with driver behavior monitoring
Proactively manage maintenance requirements
What is construction telematics?
Construction telematics uses GPS, sensors and real-time data to track construction machinery, heavy trucks and other connected assets. It gives fleet managers clear insights into fuel usage, engine hours and equipment health. These insights help improve job site safety, lower fuel costs and optimize maintenance schedules.
With Radius' construction telematics solutions, you can monitor asset performance, spot equipment misuse and boost productivity.
It also supports predictive maintenance, streamlines project management and cuts down downtime and operational costs at construction sites.
Benefits of telematics for construction equipment
Improved operator and driver safety
Monitor driver behaviors with driver scorecards and accurate driver monitoring. Identify risky habits and promote safer practices to reduce accidents and enhance job site safety.
Enhanced productivity
Track critical assets and analyze usage statistics to capture machine operating data. Telematics technologies will help you gain actionable insights that help maximize equipment performance and reduce idle time.
Cost reduction
Cut costs using tracking technologies to monitor fuel usage, reduce unnecessary engine hours and implement preventive maintenance strategies that extend equipment lifespan.
Better project management
Streamline construction projects with accurate real-time monitoring of equipment locations and job site activity. Improve scheduling and make data-driven decisions for maximum efficiency.
Compliance with regulations
Stay compliant with fuel tax regulations and track engine hours for tax reporting. Use construction telematics systems to ensure accurate data collection and avoid fines.
Maintenance process scheduling
Use predictive maintenance tools to prevent breakdowns and reduce downtime. Receive alerts for upcoming service needs based on equipment usage and diagnostic trouble codes.
Reduce operating costs
Implement asset tracking solutions to prevent asset misuse and minimize repairs. Identify areas of waste and take corrective action quickly.
Asset management
Manage your entire fleet using cloud-based platforms that show all active construction equipment in one place. Cellular asset trackers help you find the exact machinery location, monitor asset health and reduce theft risk.
What construction equipment telematics data reveals
Construction telematics helps equipment managers track heavy machinery, check fuel consumption and cut idle time to boost operational efficiency.
It also reviews equipment usage and engine diagnostics to plan proper maintenance and avoid breakdowns. Tracking operator behavior leads to safer habits and fewer accidents.

Keep equipment safe with construction fleet telematics
Telematics boosts safety by tracking vehicle locations in real-time and stopping unauthorized usage. Geofencing sets virtual boundaries and alerts managers if any piece of equipment leaves its area.
It spots bad habits in driver behavior and encourages safer driving. This helps prevent accidents and lower risks.
Managers get valuable insights into equipment utilization and vehicle usage to boost productivity and protect assets.
Boost productivity with construction fleet telematics
Telematics gives real-time data on equipment usage and location, helping managers keep every piece of construction equipment working.
It sends maintenance alerts to catch problems early and avoid delays. Reports show that unused equipment helps cut costs and improve resource allocation. With telematics, projects finish faster, stay on budget and run smoothly.
Types of telematics that can help construction businesses
Vehicle tracking
Track construction vehicles in real-time to improve fleet management and route optimization. This ensures timely deliveries, reduces idle time and helps meet project deadlines.
Construction asset tracking
Monitor the location and usage of equipment and tools. This reduces the risk of loss or theft, supports efficient resource allocation and leads to better asset management.
Vehicle cameras
Use on-site cameras to record driving behavior and job site activities. This promotes safety, improves incident reporting and enhances security for your construction fleet.
