FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does GPS tracking help with RUC refunds for agricultural vehicles?
Yes. Argus RUC Automation captures distance travelled on and off public roads, making it easier to claim off-road RUC refunds for agricultural vehicles. Smart Renew, RUC Collect and Smart eRUC handle licence purchasing and renewals automatically, reducing paperwork and helping farming operators recover charges for kilometres driven on private farmland.
How can I track farm vehicles and equipment beyond cellular coverage?
Argus maintains GPS visibility across large, remote rural properties, with satellite tracking capability so assets stay visible when cellular coverage runs out. Whether on rugged terrain or distant paddocks, you can locate vehicles and equipment through live tracking and the Asset Reporting Suite, keeping a continuous picture of where everything is across the property.
How do I protect high-value farm equipment from theft in remote areas?
Argus live tracking and Theft Recovery let you locate vehicles and equipment quickly if they're stolen from remote locations. Notifications can alert you to movement outside expected hours or areas, so unauthorised use is flagged early. This helps protect high-value machinery on isolated rural properties where physical oversight is limited.
Can fleet tracking improve lone-worker safety on remote farms?
Yes. Argus supports lone-worker safety for staff in remote areas through real-time vehicle location and notifications, so you always know where people are working. If a worker needs help in an isolated part of the property, their location is on hand — supporting your duty of care for staff operating alone across large rural sites.
