Side-Tippers · PTO Lockout
your tippers don't tip outside the green zone.
We run coal and chrome from Lephalale to Richards Bay. The green zone lives in the device's flash — not the cloud. Jam the GSM, pull the SIM, cut the power. The PTO stays locked.
“Since implementing the GotYou PTO lockout project, our efficiency is increasing significantly. The system is paying for itself. It's a game-changer for our fleet management.” — Jan Jacobs, Co-owner · Jacobs Transport SA
Seven risks, seven controls
Every category of loss your side-tipper fleet faces, mapped to the specific GotYou control that addresses it.
| Risk | Where it happens | Our control |
|---|---|---|
| Hijack / armed theft | Quiet stretches, fuel stops, border queues | Panic button · driver monitoring camera · speed immobiliser · optional ITA Recovery watchlist |
| Cargo swap / unauthorised tipping | Off-route bays, fake "wash bays" | PTO Lockout with geofenced tipping permission stored on the device itself — works without GSM |
| Fuel theft / siphoning | Rest stops, drivers' yards | Live CANbus fuel level + before/after engine-start reconciliation · optional tank probe |
| Trailer drop / cargo abandonment | Anywhere off-route | Suzi-line disconnect detection · optional independent trailer asset tracker |
| Driver behaviour | Whole route | iButton driver ID · DBA + ADAS via Hikvision · harsh-event Smart Rules · per-trip scoring |
| Cross-border GSM gaps | Border posts, occasional N4 patches | Flo.LIVE Multi-IMSI SIM · Galileosky multi-network roaming · device-side geofences work offline |
| Insurance recovery refusal | Post-incident | Compiled incident pack — video clips, telemetry trace, alert log — ready for the underwriter |
Buyer outcomes · what PTO Lockout reduces
Drivers can't swap cargo
Outside the green zone the PTO button is electrically disabled at source. The tip cylinder won't actuate.
No off-route offloads
Off-route tip attempts physically can't engage. No incident, no claim, no investigation.
Tender-grade compliance evidence
Per-tip activity report with GPS, timestamp, driver ID, geo-zone status. Send straight to the client.
No retaliation tips
Aggrieved drivers can't tip in retaliation. The control is at the relay, not at the driver's discretion.
Three buyer outcomes: Win more tender bids · meet mining-client control specs out the box · drop your insurance premium at renewal.
Four steps · Device-controlled · Every load
Define your green zones
Loading mine. Authorised wash bay. Depot HQ. Offload at port. Drawn once. The polygons live in the Galileosky 10's flash memory — not a remote server.
PTO disabled outside zones
Trailer enters a red zone. The 30A 4-pin relay cuts the PTO command at source. The cab tip-button stops working. No GSM required.
Battery-tamper / jammer / no-coverage
Jammer triggered? PTO stays locked. SIM removed? PTO stays locked. Out of coverage? PTO stays locked. The device doesn't ask permission from the cloud.
Tip + audit trail
Truck enters authorised green zone. PTO unlocks. Tip logged with GPS coords, timestamp, driver tag, geo-zone status. Hikvision G40PRO clips the angle. Reports auto-email next morning.

Two of the five lenses on the rear of the horse — the rear-facing channel and the trailer-right channel. Cabled up the cab pillar.
Jacobs Transport horse — the lens on the top-back corner of the cab points back along the trailer, covering the load and the bay where cargo swaps are attempted.

5-minute driver face captures stored for 30 days independently — who drove any truck, any day, in the past month.
Built-in gyroscope detects impact or rollover and immediately locks the clip before it can be overwritten. Insurer-ready.

Questions buyers ask before they order
Does PTO Lockout work when GSM is jammed?
Yes. The authorised green-zone geofences are stored in the Galileosky 10's internal flash memory, not in the cloud. The PTO relay is physically disabled outside that zone — jammers don't change device-resident logic. As soon as the truck re-enters the green zone, the relay re-enables.
Are you approved by major SA mining clients like Samancor?
Yes. GotYou's PTO Lockout solution is approved for use on Samancor chrome contracts. Our hardware (Galileosky 10, Teltonika FMC920, Hikvision G40PRO) and the green-zone tipping evidence pack meet the mining-client tender checklist published in our proposals.
What happens if the driver cuts power to the primary tracker?
The PTO relay stays in its last commanded state (locked) until the truck physically re-enters a green zone. The Galileosky 10 has an internal battery and continues operating after main power is cut. The hidden Teltonika FMC920 backup runs on an independent battery and SIM — the driver doesn't know it's there.
Which mining and cross-border corridors have you deployed this on?
Lephalale–Richards Bay, Ermelo–Maputo, Witbank–Beira, Rustenburg–Maputo, Klerksdorp–Durban, Makhado–Maputo. Cross-border into Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, and Lesotho. The Jacobs Transport SA case study (150+ vehicles, published on wialon.com) covers some of these routes.
How fast can a fleet be rolled out?
First truck installed, calibrated, and reporting within 14 days of order. Fleet rollout in batches of 3–5 from week 3, ~4 hours per truck and trailer. No vehicles off the road for more than half a day each. Top-mover hardware ships same-day from our JHB shelf.
Can my own control room see live cameras and tip events?
Yes. Read-only Wialon sub-logins for nominated client users, plus full API integration to display fleet units directly on the client's own platforms. Tip events, PTO activity log, and the Hikvision live feed (within SA) are all surface-able.
