Does your company own large, seldom-moved mobile assets like semitrailers, fuel tanks, tractors, grader or snowplows? Have you been looking for a way to keep track of them other than actually driving to their sites? Perhaps you’ve been considering LoJack to contact you if they’re stolen or “accidentally” moved?

As some in the construction industry would say, “Fuhged about it!” You don’t need to be a math whiz to figure out that GPS asset tracking is more effective solution that costs about 75 percent less than LoJack. Plus, you don’t have to wonder if local law enforcement can even work with LoJack because you’ll see the exact location of your mobile assets in real time in Google Maps on any Internet-connected PC.

And best of all: LoJack’s recovery mode isn’t in activated until you report a theft to the police. With GPS asset tracking, you’re notified immediately so you can decide if the police need to get involved.

An excellent way to make your mobile assets trackable is the affordable new AT282-LP GPS asset tracking unit from Vehiclepath. It’s designed for fast, easy installation on mobile assets that are likely to remain in the same location for days, weeks or months at a time.

The waterproof AT282-LP is a low-power device designed to greatly reduce the draw on an asset’s electrical system. It includes a backup battery and alerts you if it becomes disconnected. And, unlike some other “solutions,” it will alert you by text message or email if an asset is moved outside a half-mile radius, so you can track it quickly. Then you can work with law enforcement in your jurisdiction to start the recovery process.

Here are some more specifications on the AT282-LP:

• Internal battery provides disconnect alerts
• Goes into deep-sleep mode (less than 1mA at 12v) and will only wake up with motion or from ignition input
• Automatic locate after 24 hours in sleep mode
• Continuous tracking at half-hour intervals if 1-mile geofence is breached
• Internal antennas (GPS/cellular)
• 20 on-demand locates per month
• 24v-compatible
• Ignition input, no outputs

Sorry, LoJack, but GPS asset tracking works everywhere, not just where you’ve contracted with law enforcement. To learn more about Vehiclepath GPS asset tracking and try an interactive demo, visit www.vehiclepath.com.
