Teltonika FTC961 | Rugged 4G LTE Cat 1 Tracker with IP69K Protection
Step up to industrial-grade reliability with the Teltonika FTC961, a next-generation 4G LTE Cat 1 GPS tracker built on the advanced Fleet Telematics (FT) platform. Engineered for the most demanding environments, the FTC961 features an IP69K-rated casing, providing the ultimate defense against high-pressure water jets, steam, and fine dust—making it the gold standard for heavy machinery, agriculture, and construction equipment. With a massive 10-90V power range and enhanced GNSS technology capable of tracking up to 41 satellites simultaneously, this device delivers pinpoint location accuracy even at low speeds or in remote off-road locations. Whether you are managing a fleet of e-rickshaws or heavy-duty excavators, the FTC961 ensures zero-compromise performance with optimized sleep modes that protect your vehicle’s battery life.
Why the FTC961 is the Professional Choice:
-
🌊 Ultimate IP69K Durability – The highest protection rating available; safely withstands high-pressure industrial cleaning and extreme mud.
-
🛰️ Superior GNSS Accuracy – Detects nearly double the satellites of standard trackers, ensuring a stable signal in “urban canyons” and dense forests.
-
🔋 EV & Heavy Machinery Ready – The wide 10-90V input allows for direct installation on electric motorcycles, forklifts, and 24V trucks without converters.
-
📉 Advanced Power Management – Ultra-low power consumption in sleep mode prevents battery drain during long periods of asset inactivity.
-
🛠️ Versatile I/O Interface – Includes Digital Input (ignition/door), Digital Output (remote immobilization), and Analog Input (fuel/temperature monitoring).

Which one should you choose?
Choose the FTC921 if:
-
You are installing the tracker inside the vehicle cabin or under the dashboard.
-
You need a slim, discreet device for passenger cars or e-scooters.
-
You are looking for the most cost-effective 4G entry point for standard fleets.
Choose the FTC961 if:
-
Your equipment is exposed to mud, rain, or high-pressure washing (agriculture, construction).
-
You are tracking heavy machinery where the tracker is mounted on the exterior chassis.
-
You need a larger internal backup battery (320 mAh) for extended tracking when the main power is cut.
🚜 Heavy Duty Use Case: Agriculture, Construction & Mining
The Teltonika FTC961 is the ultimate choice for assets that operate in the most punishing conditions on earth. While standard trackers might fail due to dust ingress or water damage, the FTC961 thrives in the field.
When to choose the FTC961:
-
High-Pressure Cleaning: If your fleet consists of garbage trucks, cement mixers, or food transport vehicles that require daily high-pressure steam cleaning or power washing, the IP69K rating ensures the internal electronics remain bone-dry and functional.
-
Off-Road & Slow-Moving Assets: Standard GPS trackers often struggle with “signal jump” when a vehicle moves slowly (like a tractor tilling a field or an excavator on a construction site). The FTC961 uses the next-gen FT platform to track up to 41 satellites simultaneously, providing a smooth, accurate path even at crawling speeds.
-
Harsh Outdoor Mounting: When there is no “dry cabin” to hide a tracker—such as on the chassis of a mining haul truck or a construction crane—the FTC961’s ruggedized, vibration-resistant shell allows for exterior mounting without risk of failure.
-
High-Voltage Electric Machinery: Perfect for industrial forklifts and electric port machinery running on 36V, 48V, or 80V systems, as it handles up to 90V without needing a step-down converter.
