Power Take-Off (PTO) Monitoring

Track Equipment Usage & Improve Fleet Efficiency

For industries like waste management, construction, and drainage, vehicles often rely on Power Take-Off (PTO) systems to operate essential equipment such as hydraulic lifts, pumps, and other machinery. These systems require the engine to be running, meaning idling is unavoidable—but how do you distinguish between necessary idling and unnecessary fuel waste?

With Quartix PTO monitoring, you can track when and where PTO systems are engaged, helping you analyse vehicle activity, manage fuel consumption, and verify job completion.

Monitor PTO Usage with Precision

PTO-equipped vehicles must idle for the equipment to function, but not all idling is productive. This reporting helps you:

• Identify when PTO was engaged to confirm necessary idling
• Distinguish between essential and unnecessary fuel use
• Verify that vehicles and staff were actively working on-site

Manage Fuel Use More Effectively

Idling can consume around half a gallon of fuel per hour for a van and one gallon per hour for larger vehicles. While PTO-dependent fleets can’t eliminate idling, Quartix helps you track and manage its impact.

• Reports provide insight into PTO usage and idling patterns
• Location tracking ensures accurate site activity records
• Data supports better fuel management decisions

A Clear Picture of Fleet Activity

By tracking PTO engagement in real-time, you gain greater visibility over vehicle and equipment usage. Whether you need to analyse idling time, verify completed work, or optimise fuel consumption, Quartix delivers the insights you need—all within a single system.
