The problem

Heavy equipment breaks every assumption built into vehicle tracking. There is no meaningful odometer, the machine may sit on one site for three weeks, and there is no diagnostic port to plug into. The questions are different too. Not where did it go, but how many hours did it actually run, and is it still there right now.

What you get

Hardwired install, always

Heavy equipment is never an OBD-II job. Our technicians wire the unit in and hide it.

True engine hours

Run time measured from actual operation, which on a machine with no meaningful odometer is the only number that counts. It drives the maintenance schedule and the rental invoice.

Tilt and charge monitoring

Tilt tells you a machine is on a slope or has been disturbed. Charge state tells you whether it will start tomorrow morning.

Fuel and oil pressure

Two of the cheapest sensors to fit and two of the most expensive problems to miss. Both cut unnecessary service calls and the work disruption that follows.

PTO and auxiliary monitoring

Time on hydraulics, pumps or lifts tracked separately from engine running time, so billable work is separated from idling.

Beacon and light control

Drive a beacon or work light from the unit, so a machine can signal status on site.

Reporting that matches the duty cycle

Every 2 to 5 minutes while the machine is running, and a heartbeat once or twice a day when idle, confirming it is still in place.

Starter immobilizer and matched fob

The starter circuit is disabled entirely. Even with the correct master key the machine will not start without the electronic fob paired to that unit.

What changes

There is no fixed average, but realistically an hour of payroll, a couple of gallons of fuel and one extra service call is about $200 to $300 a month for most industries. That is roughly 5 to 10 times the monthly cost, and it starts immediately rather than in six months.

Pricing

No contract, ever

No contracts. Billing is month to month. Cancel any time with no penalty. The customer keeps the hardware. If we stop earning it, you fire us.

30 days to change your mind

30-day money-back guarantee. If you are not fully satisfied in the first 30 days, we buy it back, no questions asked.

The hardware is yours

Professional installation and a lifetime warranty is included, and it comes with a lifetime warranty. The hardware belongs to the customer.

Priced to what you actually need

A trailer you just need to confirm is still there does not cost the same as a truck running full fleet management. We quote the tier that fits, and volume discounts available at 10 or more vehicles.

We do not buy out existing contracts with other providers.

Common questions

What equipment does this fit?

Excavators, skid steers, generators, trailers and more, across Volvo, John Deere, Komatsu, JCB, Hitachi, Liebherr, XCMG, Sany and LiuGong.

Which machines does this suit?

It is built for skyjacks, scissor lifts, telehandlers and boom trucks, and it fits excavators, skid steers, generators and trailers too. Across Volvo, John Deere, Komatsu, JCB, Hitachi, Liebherr, XCMG, Sany and LiuGong.

Everyone has the same key. Does that matter?

That is exactly the problem this solves. One key usually opens an entire class of machine, so holding a key is enough to operate anything on the yard. With the immobilizer, the machine will not start without the matched fob, regardless of what key someone has.

What does YellowGuard cost?

Heavy equipment sits on a lower tier than full fleet management, so it is one of the least expensive things on the platform to protect. There is no contract, the one-time hardware fee includes professional installation and a lifetime warranty, and the hardware is yours. Tell us how many machines you run and we will give you the number.

Book a five-minute call

We will tell you straight whether we can help. If we cannot, we will say so and thank you for your time.

No contracts. Cancel any time and keep the hardware. If you are not happy in the first 30 days, we buy it back.
