What's new
PreStartGo is open for construction, mining, plant hire, and agriculture operators across Australia. The platform enforces pre-start compliance in hardware, not just software: the Interlock is wired into the starter circuit — or the operator-presence circuit — and is designed to stop the machine starting until a guided inspection passes.
Interlock and GoTag, shipping today
This release is Interlock-only. An Interlock ships with its wiring harness and installation guide. GoTags — the QR + NFC identity tags fitted to each piece of equipment — are ordered separately. A cellular tracking companion device, the Tracker, is planned and isn't on sale yet. It is not part of this release.
Note
Correction, 17 August 2026. As first published, this note announced a bundled hardware kit containing one Interlock and two GoTags. That SKU was retired and is not how the hardware is sold — an Interlock and its GoTags are ordered separately. The paragraph above was corrected at the time, and nothing else in the note changed then. See GoTag overview for how GoTags are supplied.
Note
Correction, 18 September 2026. Four details have since been removed from this note: the GoTag price and the month the Tracker was expected, both in the paragraph above, and the number of machines the Plant Operator plan covers and the statement that the plan never ends, both in the section below. This site no longer publishes hardware prices, availability dates, or the free plan's machine limit or duration — ask us about pricing for a current quote. Nothing else in this note has changed.
Note
Renamed, 23 September 2026. The device this note announced is now called the Interlock everywhere on this site, and the planned tracking device the Tracker; this note has been updated to use those names. Nothing else in it changed.
Note
Updated, 29 October 2026. The description of how the Interlock stops a start now matches the rest of this site, the Tracker line no longer promises an announcement, and the Plant Operator paragraph now says how to start. Nothing else in this note changed.
