ABAX Locator

Tool and Asset Tracking

Know exactly where your assets are - whether it’s on a construction site, inside a service van, or stored in a yard.

For construction companies, utilities providers and field service teams managing equipment across multiple sites, losing track of assets can quickly disrupt operations. ABAX Locator allows you to locate critical assets in seconds, saving time and avoiding unnecessary replacement costs.

All this is included

  • Don’t waste time searching for misplaced equipment. Attach the compact tracker to your most important assets and track their location instantly in the app.

    It’s small enough for SDS drills, delivery cages and toolboxes. For a contractor, a misplaced £400 SDS drill can mean an emergency replacement and a delayed project. With ABAX Locator, you can see its last known location in seconds, turning a potential crisis into a minor inconvenience.

  • Avoid purchasing tools and assets you already own. The ABAX app gives you a clear overview of all your connected assets and their locations on a map.

    For construction Site Managers, this means no more morning phone calls chasing down tools, generators and compressors. You can track items, search for specific assets, and maintain an inventory, so nothing gets lost between teams, vehicles, or sites.

  • If your tools or assets go missing, you can quickly locate them with ABAX Locator. Simply tag assets like power drills, generators, or even delivery cages as 'lost' in the system, and you'll receive a notification with a new position as soon as the tracker reports in.

    This is crucial for landscaping companies that share expensive equipment between employees and vans. A misplaced wood chipper can cost thousands to replace, but with ABAX Locator, you have a much higher chance of recovery.

  • Create virtual boundaries around your sites, warehouses, or storage yards. If equipment like lighting towers or delivery cages leaves a defined area outside of working hours, the system will send you a notification, so you can act quickly.

    For plant hire companies, this feature is invaluable for preventing unauthorised use of your equipment, ensuring your assets are always where they should be.

  • Our tracker is built to last, with a battery life of over five years, meaning it will likely outlast the equipment it's attached to. Once installed, it provides long-term visibility without the need for frequent and disruptive battery changes.

    For facilities management teams, this 'set it and forget it' solution means you can focus on your work without worrying about the reliability of your tracking system.
