GPS asset tracking for trailers and containers

The Challenge of Tracking Unpowered Assets

Trailers, containers, and equipment often move without a direct power source. When detached from tractors, they cannot use vehicle-powered GPS. Traditional tracking fails for these assets. Battery-powered or solar-powered wireless GPS trackers solve this—transmitting location via cellular or LoRaWAN regardless of tractor connection.

Theft and Unauthorized Movement

Trailers and containers are high-value targets. Theft occurs when assets are left unattended. Geofence alerts notify you the moment an asset moves outside approved zones.

Yard and Port Visibility

Locate containers in yards. Track movement between port and warehouse. Improve logistics planning and reduce search time.

Wireless GPS and Smart E-Locks

Our asset tracking solutions use battery or solar-powered wireless GPS trackers—plus smart e-locks for cargo security. Monitor location, door status, and tampering in real time. Geofencing alerts when assets enter or leave designated zones. Low battery alerts help plan maintenance.

Connectivity Options

4G cellular for real-time tracking. LoRaWAN for long-range, low-power applications. Choose based on asset type, coverage, and reporting frequency.

Tamper Detection

E-locks and trackers report tampering. Know when doors open unexpectedly or someone attempts to disable the device.

Cold Chain and Reefer Monitoring

For refrigerated assets, add temperature and humidity sensors. Monitor temperature alongside location. Alerts on door open, temperature breach, or route deviation. Full audit trail for compliance. Ideal for logistics, ports, cold chain, and construction.
