For Arizona contractors running two or more pieces of equipment, the cost of not knowing where something is adds up fast: a stolen skid steer, a service truck in the wrong city, or a trailer that was dropped at the wrong site. Razor Tracking is a single platform that covers your heavy equipment, company vehicles, and dash cameras, all in one app, with no juggling between systems.
The Real Cost of an Untracked Fleet
Construction equipment theft in Arizona has climbed steadily. A mini excavator or skid steer left on an unattended job site overnight is worth $30,000 to $80,000 and takes less than 20 minutes to load and move. Most of it is never recovered because by the time anyone notices it's gone, there's no trail to follow.
Beyond theft, the day-to-day losses are just as real for small and mid-size contractors: equipment dispatched to the wrong site, service trucks running personal errands on company time, trailers abandoned at completed jobs and forgotten, and equipment sitting idle at a yard when a crew is waiting on it elsewhere. Each one is money out of a bid margin that's already tight.
Razor Tracking closes all of those gaps with one system and one monthly cost. You don't need a fleet manager or a full telematics team. You need an app, a few devices, and 15 minutes to set up geofences around your job sites.
Everything on One Map
Most contractors who try fleet tracking start with a GPS tracker on their most expensive machine. Then they add a vehicle tracker when a truck goes missing. Then dash cameras after an incident. The problem is three separate systems, three separate apps, and three separate logins. Razor Tracking is built to handle all of it from day one.

How Arizona Contractors Use Razor Tracking
Job Site Geofencing
Draw a boundary around each active job site. Get an instant alert if any piece of tracked equipment leaves the site after hours. The most effective theft deterrent you can deploy without a security guard.
Dash Cams on Service Trucks
The Elite Dash Camera combines GPS tracking with video recording on your company trucks. Document incidents, verify driver behavior, and have footage ready when an insurance claim or dispute comes up.
Equipment Utilization Reporting
Know exactly how many hours each machine ran last month. Verify rental agreements, document usage for depreciation, and identify underutilized equipment that could be sold or redeployed.
Subcontractor and Crew Accountability
When you're not on site, Razor Tracking tells you when equipment arrived, when it was moved, and how long it ran. Verify subcontractor hours and protect yourself from billing disputes with actual data.
Trailer and Attachment Tracking
Trailers get left behind. Attachments go missing between sites. A Solar Hybrid Tracker or AT230 on each trailer and bucket set costs a fraction of what a single lost asset is worth, and it pays for itself in one recovery.
Service and Maintenance Records
Track engine hours on every machine and set service interval alerts. Arizona summer heat accelerates wear on hydraulics and filters. Know when service is due before it becomes a breakdown that pulls a machine off a job.
What This Looks Like for a Real Contractor
Different size operations use Razor Tracking differently. Here are three setups that reflect how Arizona contractors are actually using it today.
Owner-Operator with 2 Machines and a Truck
You own a KX040-5 mini excavator and a skid steer. You haul both on a trailer with your F-350. You're on site during the day but equipment sits overnight and on weekends. Razor Tracking lets you put a hardwired Pro GPS Tracker on each machine, a Solar Hybrid Tracker on the trailer, and the Elite Dash Camera on the truck. Everything shows up on one map. You get a text if anything moves after you leave.
5-Person Crew Running Multiple Job Sites
You're running two active job sites across the Phoenix metro area with a mix of Kubota and Bobcat equipment, two company trucks, and a flatbed trailer. You can't be everywhere. Razor Tracking lets you set geofences around each site, get utilization reports on each machine by site, and verify truck locations throughout the day without calling drivers.
Equipment Yard with Seasonal Rentals
You have equipment sitting in a yard between jobs and rent out a loader or two to subs during slow seasons. You need to know exactly where rented equipment is at all times, be alerted if it leaves a pre-approved work area, and have documentation of hours run for billing. The Premier GPS Tracker's reporting capability is built for this: exportable hour logs, movement history, and geofence reports you can attach to an invoice.
Razor Tracking Products for Construction
Bingham Equipment carries the full Razor Tracking lineup. Here's how each device fits into a typical Arizona construction operation.
Pro GPS Tracker
Hardwired, always-on GPS for powered heavy equipment. Draws from the machine's battery so there's nothing to charge. Reports location continuously and logs engine hours. The standard choice for excavators, skid steers, compactors, and loaders.
View Pro GPS TrackerElite Dash Camera
Combines GPS tracking with continuous video recording for company trucks and vans. One device covers location data and incident documentation. Critical for service vehicles in Arizona's high-traffic urban construction corridors and for subcontractor accountability.
View Elite Dash CameraSolar Hybrid Tracker
Battery-powered with a solar panel that recharges in daylight. No wiring required. Built for trailers, tilt decks, and attachments that sit outside in the sun between jobs. In Arizona, the solar charging is nearly continuous outside of winter months.
View Solar Hybrid TrackerPremier GPS Tracker
Expanded reporting and integration capabilities beyond the Pro. Best for contractors who need detailed utilization exports, multi-site fleet reporting, or are tracking equipment rented to subcontractors and need documented hour logs for billing.
View Premier GPS TrackerAT230 Asset Tracker
A compact, wire-free battery tracker for assets with no power source. Ideal for attachments, compaction plates, buckets, generators, light towers, and any piece of equipment or tooling you want to be able to locate but don't need continuous real-time tracking on. Configurable update intervals conserve battery for months of operation between charges. Movement alerts fire immediately regardless of update interval, so theft detection is always active.

Most new heavy equipment comes with optional factory telematics, including KubotaNOW, Bobcat Machine IQ (MIQ), and CASE SiteWatch. Those systems are valuable for machine-specific data. But they only cover equipment from that brand. If you run a mixed fleet, you're still managing separate apps. Razor Tracking complements your OEM telematics by covering everything those systems don't: your trucks, trailers, and non-powered assets.
| Capability | Razor Tracking | KubotaNOW | Bobcat Machine IQ | CASE SiteWatch |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tracks company trucks | Yes | No | No | No |
| Tracks trailers | Yes | No | No | No |
| Dash camera integration | Yes | No | No | No |
| Tracks non-powered assets | Yes | No | No | No |
| Multi-brand fleet in one app | Yes | Kubota only | Bobcat only | CASE only |
| Machine fault codes | Limited | Full | Full | Full |
| Engine hours tracking | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Geofence theft alerts | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
The strongest setup for a contractor running Kubota, Bobcat, or CASE equipment is to use OEM telematics for deep machine diagnostics on your heavy equipment, and layer Razor Tracking on top to cover your trucks, trailers, and attachments. You get fault code alerts from the machine's own system and a unified fleet map from Razor Tracking that covers everything in one view.
Getting Your Construction Fleet Set Up
Setting up Razor Tracking for a small construction fleet takes less than an hour. Here's the recommended order of operations for contractors starting from scratch.
- Start with your highest-value assets first. Excavators and skid steers get hardwired Pro or Premier GPS Trackers. This is where the biggest theft risk and the most billable utilization data lives.
- Add the Elite Dash Camera to your primary service truck. The GPS plus video combination covers your highest vehicle liability exposure and gives you location data on the truck you use most.
- Put a Solar Hybrid Tracker on your equipment trailer. Trailers are easy targets and easy to forget. The solar unit charges itself so there's no maintenance overhead.
- Set geofences around each active job site. Takes 2 minutes per site. After-hours movement on any tracked asset within the boundary triggers an immediate alert to your phone.
- Add AT230 Asset Trackers to high-theft attachments. Quick couplers, hydraulic thumbs, compaction plates, and generator sets are easy targets. A battery tracker on each costs less than one theft claim.
- Schedule a weekly utilization report. Set it once and get a summary every Monday morning showing hours by machine and by site. Takes 60 seconds to review and gives you data you'd otherwise have to piece together manually.
