SPREADER & SWEEPER INTEGRATION

Spreader & Sweeper Telematics Installation

We wire salt/sand spreader and street sweeper brush status directly into your telematics platform's aux inputs, so material application and sweeping activity are tied to an exact route and timestamp, not just a truck driving by. Georgia, South Carolina & North Carolina, on-site, any brand.

How Do You Track Spreader or Sweeper Activity on a Municipal Truck?

We tap the spreader's on/off control signal or the sweeper's brush-engaged switch and wire it into a free aux input on your telematics device, so material application or sweeping is logged against the exact route driven.

Why Does This Matter More for Municipal Fleets Than for Most Others?

Municipalities have to defend winter-service and street-sweeping records for liability and contract-compliance reasons, and a GPS track alone doesn't prove the spreader or sweeper was actually running when the truck passed a given block. Wiring the equipment signal in turns a route log into a service log.

Does This Also Help With Salt and Fuel Cost Control?

Yes. A true on/off log lets a public works or fleet manager compare drivers and routes on actual material usage instead of an estimate based on the whole route duration, which overstates it on routes with traffic lights, turns, or staging.

What Spreader & Sweeper Equipment Do We Integrate?

Why Trust API Signal With This Wiring

Can You Wire a Whole Municipal Fleet Before Winter Season?

Yes, municipal winter-service and street-sweeping fleets are exactly the kind of scheduled, multi-vehicle rollout we handle, on-site at your yard, on a timeline ahead of the season.

How Long Does Spreader or Sweeper Integration Add to the Install?

Typically 30 to 60 minutes per vehicle, depending on whether the controller already exposes a clean on/off signal or one has to be added at the switch.

COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ

What does spreader or sweeper integration actually track?

Whether the spreader or sweeper was actively running, timestamped and tied to the truck's GPS route so material application or sweeping can be verified block by block.

Which telematics platforms support this?

Most major fleet telematics platforms accept at least one aux input for this signal; how it's displayed depends on the brand, which we confirm before wiring it.

Do you integrate older municipal trucks and retrofitted equipment?

Usually yes. Even older spreaders and sweepers typically have a usable control signal. Send us the equipment details and we'll confirm what's possible before the visit.

Does this affect the spreader or sweeper's own warranty?

No. The telematics tap is a separate, isolated connection and never shares a wire with the equipment's own control circuit.

Can you schedule a whole municipal fleet at once?

Yes, one truck or a full seasonal fleet rollout across Georgia, South Carolina, or North Carolina. Call or text 803-513-1009 or request a quote.
