Fuel is one of the largest operating costs for fleet depots, civil contractors, mining support operations, and transport businesses across Australia. Yet for many operators, fuel usage remains one of the least visible line items - managed with shared PINs, manual dip readings, and spreadsheets that never quite balance.

GIR Fuel Management, available through Equipco's FMS Division, is a purpose-built industrial fuel management platform engineered to change that. This guide covers what GIR is, who it is built for, and why it is increasingly the system of choice for Australian fleet and depot operators.

With fuel prices so high, managing your fuel efficiently is more important than ever

Do You Have Full Visibility Over Your Fuel Usage?

Most transport operators don't. The common picture looks like this:

  • Shared PINs between drivers with no individual accountability
  • Manual tank dips carried out only once a month
  • No reconciliation between tank stock movement and transaction logs
  • Terminal hardware that must be replaced entirely when the site grows
  • Closed software portals that restrict access to your own data
  • Limited ability to integrate with fleet, ERP, or accounting systems
Fuel losses, unauthorised usage, and inefficient fleet practices can quietly impact your bottom line — without you ever knowing.

What Is GIR Fuel Management?

Equipco FMS Division

GIR is a modular, scalable industrial fuel management system developed specifically for private fleet and depot environments. It is not a retail forecourt system — engineered for bulk fuel sites requiring true operational control, from a single pump through to multi-depot networks.

Scale Without Replacing Core Infrastructure

  • Start with a single pump on a single terminal
  • Expand up to 16 pumps per terminal
  • Add slave terminals as the operation grows
  • Connect unlimited terminals to a single database
  • DIN rail-mounted modules for industrial cabinet installs
  • Remote-mounted LED display and keypad options
  • Flush-mount or enclosure flexibility

Reconciliation Intelligence

More Than Just Transaction Recording

Most fuel management systems record transactions. GIR reconciles them — the critical distinction that separates it from basic card-based or PIN-entry systems.

Audit-Grade Fuel Control

  • Virtual tank modelling without a physical gauge
  • Mathematical stock tracking from transaction history
  • Manual dip reconciliation against theoretical stock
  • Automated ATG comparison when hardware installed
  • Drift analysis between theoretical and measured stock
  • Graphical variance reporting and email alerts
If tank movement and data diverge, you see it immediately.

Open Integration — Your Data, Your Systems

Open Integration

GIR is built as an integration platform, not a closed portal. Your fuel data should connect directly to your broader operational systems — not be locked in proprietary software.

  • REST API available on W150 and W250 models
  • JSON export capability for custom integrations
  • Fleet GPS and telematics integration
  • ERP and accounting system compatibility
  • BI reporting integration via CSV export
  • Multi-site centralised supervision

What Our Partners Say

"This is a fantastic feature of all our units and another main reason for the purchase of Equipco Fuel Tanks. We can monitor all our fuel usage, export data, and run reports. It has made our reporting for off-road use a 5-minute job, where before this could take weeks."

AEH Representative

"Since the installation of your 30,000lts system, our purchasing strength has increased to 39,000lts. This has given our business an increased buying power that has translated to an average saving of 9 cents per litre when ordering fuel."
