Remote access to machine data? (Manitou)

[James_T]

Does there exist any devices one can connect to a Manitou lift, to remotely get access to location, fuel level and consumption, and other data?

It looks like Manitou themselves offer something, but it seems like it's aimed at rental companies, and will probably be very expensive? Does anyone have experience with this?

Are there any standards for these kinds of things in the construction world, like we have OBD2 for vehicles?

It's called "telematics" and loads of companies provide it. How much data is available will depend on what your willing to pay

ISObus for farm machinery, not sure about construction.
