The G150 Vehicle Tracker is a cutting-edge GPS/GLONASS-powered tracking device designed to provide unparalleled security and operational oversight for your vehicles. This robust and weatherproof device is ideal for use in challenging environments. It is perfect for remote assets that travel in and out of cellular network coverage, such as mine sites, oil and gas fields, and farming operations. The G150, which has replaced the G120 as of May 2024, offers advanced features that ensure your vehicles are constantly under surveillance, managed efficiently, and remain connected, no matter where they are.
Engineered to endure the most challenging conditions, the G150 is encased in an ultra-rugged IP68 waterproof housing, ensuring it performs reliably in extreme environments. Whether your assets are exposed to rain, dust, or extreme temperatures, the G150 stays operational, providing consistent and accurate tracking data. The device has a 3500mAh LiPo internal backup battery, ensuring continuous operation during power loss or tampering.
The G150 stands out because it can connect to the Iridium satellite network when cellular coverage is unavailable. The optional Iridium Edge® module and harness ensure that your assets remain connected and traceable even in the most remote locations. The device also supports global connectivity with 4G and 2G fallback, guaranteeing seamless operation in urban and rural areas, regardless of your vehicle's location.
The G150 is not just a tracking device; it's a powerful fleet management solution. It features a Bluetooth® Gateway for affordable asset management and tracking, allowing you to monitor and manage your assets efficiently. The device offers extensive digital and analog I/O options, enabling you to customise the hardware to track seatbelt detection, pulse counting, panic buttons, Run-Hour and Odometer Monitoring for Equipment and more. Additionally, the G150 supports various Driver ID systems, including iButton®, RFID Readers, and Wiegand, ensuring that only authorised personnel can operate your vehicles.
Safety is a top priority with the G150. The device monitors critical driver behaviours such as speeding, harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, and idling. The G150 helps improve driver safety, reduce vehicle wear and tear, and enhance overall fleet efficiency by providing real-time data on these behaviours. In the event of unauthorised use or theft, the G150's remote immobilisation feature allows you to disable the vehicle, preventing further movement and aiding in recovery.
The G150 is designed for easy installation, making it a practical choice for many vehicles and equipment. Its plug-and-play capability lets you quickly deploy the device and start monitoring your assets without extensive setup or technical expertise. Whether you need to track mining equipment, agricultural machinery, or fleet vehicles, the G150 provides a reliable and flexible solution.

Built-in Geofencing: Create virtual boundaries and receive alerts when vehicles enter or leave specified areas, enhancing security and asset management.
SOS Alarm and Lone Worker Reporting: This system meets occupational health and safety requirements by monitoring the safety of individuals working in Remote areas and providing scheduled reporting.
Run-Hour and Odometer Monitoring for Equipment: Keep Track GPS devices offer advanced monitoring solutions for run hours and odometer readings. These devices provide real-time data, allowing maintainers to make informed equipment usage and maintenance decisions.
GPS trackers are invaluable for business and private customers in vehicle and fleet tracking. GPS trackers provide real-time location data for businesses, improving route planning and delivery efficiency, reducing fuel costs, and enhancing customer service through accurate ETAs. Fleet managers can monitor driver behaviour, ensuring safety and compliance while minimising unauthorised use of vehicles. Private customers benefit from increased security, knowing their cars are always traceable and protected against theft. With GPS tracking, business and private users can experience improved operational efficiency, cost savings, and peace of mind.
GPS trackers are crucial in remote safety monitoring for business and private customers. In business, especially in industries like mining, oil and gas, and agriculture, GPS trackers ensure the safety of employees working in isolated areas by providing real-time location data and emergency alerts. For private customers, GPS trackers offer enhanced personal safety, enabling real-time tracking of loved ones and sending SOS alerts in emergencies. With GPS tracking, safety is never compromised, ensuring immediate response and assistance whenever needed.
Preventive maintenance is streamlined with GPS trackers for both business and private customers. For businesses, the Keep Track Telematics app integration allows for prestart checks on vehicles, ensuring each vehicle is in optimal condition before hitting the road. This proactive approach helps identify potential issues early, reducing the risk of costly repairs and minimising downtime. Fleet managers can use data from GPS trackers to schedule timely maintenance, improving overall fleet efficiency and longevity. Private customers benefit from maintenance alerts, ensuring their vehicles receive the necessary attention on time. With GPS tracking and the Keep Track Telematics App, businesses and private users can maintain their vehicles efficiently, ensuring smooth and safe operations while saving time and money.
