We wire boom-up, lift-in-use, and outrigger status directly into your telematics platform's aux inputs, so the system logs when the boom was actually working, not just where the truck was parked. Georgia, South Carolina & North Carolina, on-site, any brand.
We tap the boom's PTO engagement signal or an aftermarket angle/height sensor and wire it into a spare auxiliary input on your telematics device, so boom-up and boom-down events are timestamped and tied to GPS location automatically. On most bucket trucks, digger derricks, and knuckle-boom cranes, the boom already produces a usable electrical signal somewhere in the truck's existing circuit, a PTO clutch switch, a hydraulic pressure switch, or a rotation/angle sensor on newer units.
For aerial and boom work, the billable event is the boom being extended and doing the job, not the truck sitting on a street or lot, which GPS alone cannot tell apart from actual work time. Wiring the boom signal into the platform turns a route log into a real work-time record, the number that supports billing disputes, crew productivity reviews, and liability questions if something goes wrong mid-lift.
Yes, in almost every case we add the boom signal into an existing aux input without touching your current GPS or camera wiring. Most telematics hardware ships with one or more unused auxiliary input channels.
The wiring is largely the same, a signal into an aux input, but how each platform labels and reports that input differs, which is exactly where a brand-agnostic installer matters. Because we install across the major telematics and camera platforms rather than one, we know which of those a given fleet's platform actually supports before we wire it.
Typically 30 to 75 minutes per vehicle on top of a standard telematics install, depending on how accessible the boom's signal wire is. We give a firm per-vehicle time estimate after seeing the equipment, not before.
ANSI A92.2 governs the aerial device itself, not telematics wiring, but we route every signal tap so it never interferes with the boom's own safety interlocks or inspection points. The telematics tap is a separate, isolated connection, never a splice into a safety circuit.
COMMON QUESTIONS
Wiring the boom's PTO switch or an angle/height sensor into your telematics device's aux input so boom-up and boom-down time is logged automatically alongside GPS location.
Most major fleet telematics platforms support at least one auxiliary input; how the boom status is displayed varies by brand. We confirm what your specific platform supports before wiring it.
Yes. Older trucks and specialty booms without a factory signal usually still have a workable switch or sensor point, send us the equipment details and we'll tell you what's possible before the visit.
No. The telematics tap is a separate, isolated signal connection and never shares a wire with the boom's safety or interlock circuits.
