Built for the trade

GPS tracking for arborists.

Arb crews run high-value Stihl, Husky and Bandit gear. Chippers and stump grinders are towed; chainsaws live in the truck. TTT goes in the chipper, the truck and the climbing-kit box so you know where the kit went the moment it leaves.

The pattern

Arb kit is some of the most-targeted gear on Australian sites:

  • Chippers

    Bandit, Vermeer and Hansa chippers. $20k–$80k each. Hooked up overnight and gone before sunrise.

  • Stump grinders

    Carlton, Vermeer and Bluebird grinders. High value, recognisable, sold interstate by the weekend.

  • Chainsaws

    Stihl MS500i, Husqvarna 572XP — the pro saws. $1.5k–$3k each. Easy to identify, easy to flog.

  • Climbing kit

    A full climbing kit (saddle, ropes, throwlines, friction devices) is $3k+ and small enough to walk away whole.

  • Truck and contents

    Tip trucks and chippers parked at home overnight. Targeted because the gear inside is high-value and the truck itself is worth $40k+.

The damage

What it costs you.

For an arb crew, theft puts a real dent in the week:

  • Chipper replacement: months of waiting, $30k–$80k upfront
  • Day rate lost across a crew that needs the chipper to work
  • Replacement saws and PPE that has to be tested before it goes back into a tree
  • Insurance hassle when the kit is not serialised properly

How arborists use it

How arborists use TTT.

Use case

The chipper

Hardwired TTT inside the chipper engine housing, drawing from the 12V. Battery-backed in case the loom is cut. Geofence the depot and home address.

Use case

The Stihl saws

TTT goes in the saw box — a tough plastic case with the day kit inside — rather than on each saw. If the box walks, you know.

Use case

The climbing kit

For premium kit, TTT inside the rope bag gives you a last known if the bag walks off a site or out of the truck.

None of these is a silver bullet. Locks, lighting and insurance still matter. TTT is what tells you where the gear went after the locks fail.

FAQ

Arborists questions.

The questions tradies in this trade actually ask before they buy.

Will it survive vibration from a chipper engine?

Yes — mounted with the shock kit inside the engine housing. The device is rated for industrial vibration. Do not mount it directly to a vibrating panel; use the supplied rubber mount.

Can it work in rural areas with patchy coverage?

LTE-M has better remote reach than 4G, and the device stores location offline. For deep-bush jobs (e.g. fire-recovery work in the high country) ring us — we can match the right device to your usual area.

What about the truck itself?

Separate tracker on the truck makes sense if the truck is high-value or routinely parked off-site. Talk to us about a fleet bundle that covers both.
