Trackunit Theft Alerts: How to Protect and Recover Your Equipment

Construction site theft costs companies time, money, and productivity. With Trackunit theft alerts, you can reduce those risks and respond faster when incidents occur.

Create Geofenced Sites for Better Control
The first step is setting boundaries. Trackunit’s Sites feature lets you create geofences around jobsites, depots, or service areas. These virtual boundaries automatically detect when an asset enters or leaves. Once your site is active, you can configure alerts to notify you the moment a machine moves unexpectedly.

Set Up Movement-Based Alerts
Not all theft happens outside a site. That’s why Trackunit also offers movement-based alerts. These track distance and time of movement—allowing you to monitor equipment even within site boundaries. You can define working hours, set distance thresholds, and apply alerts to specific assets or entire groups.

Respond Quickly with Incident Reports
If something goes missing, Trackunit Manager helps you take action. The Incident Report feature creates a breadcrumb trail that shows where the asset has traveled. Each GPS ping is time-stamped and exportable, making it easy to share with law enforcement or internal teams. This tool has already helped customers recover stolen machines.

Make Alerts Work for Your Operation
Trackunit alerts are fully customizable. You can edit recipients, update assigned assets, and disable alerts as needed. These controls allow you to stay flexible while keeping your fleet protected.

A Smarter Way to Secure Your Fleet
Theft doesn’t just result in replacement costs—it disrupts projects and delays timelines. With Trackunit theft alerts and incident reporting, you gain a simple but powerful way to prevent loss and recover equipment faster.
