Trailer Fleet Management Helps You:

  1. Receive immediate notifications when a trailer moves outside a predefined area or during unauthorised hours

  2. Track journey duration, distance, speed, and stops in real-time for swift recovery or historical analysis for performance comparison

  3. View empty and loaded status to maximise usage and determine the optimal number of trailers needed

  4. Get preventive maintenance alerts to detect and resolve faults before they lead to major breakdowns, extending your fleet’s lifespan

  5. Easily identify which trailer is coupled with which vehicle, ensuring the right connections for each journey

  6. Set payload limits in line with cargo regulations and receive notifications on overloading

Our Trailer Tracking Device and System

Central to our trailer tracking system are our devices, which are built to withstand the rigours of daily operations. With advanced connectivity and hardware made to last, they ensure real-time communication so that you’re fully informed at all times. Additionally, fleets can benefit from TPMS through tyre sensor integration, as well as EBPMS capabilities.

All the data is captured either via aftermarket telematics devices or the OEM telematics installed in your trailers, and then transmitted to trailer tracking software for fleet managers to view. Designed to scale, the system works for fleets of any size, giving you a centralised dashboard for all your trailer management needs in order to maximise control and efficiency.

Fleet Trailer Tracking FAQs

What is trailer tracking?

+

Trailer tracking gives fleet managers real-time visibility into the location and status of every trailer in their fleet. With telematics data, they can optimise routes, improve asset utilisation, and right-size their trailer fleet, boosting productivity while reducing operational costs.

How does trailer tracking work?

+

Trailer tracking systems give managers a complete overview of their trailer fleet operations. Specifically, through GPS trackers, each trailer is visible in real time, whether in motion or stationary. Furthermore, EBPMS makes it so that the system sends alerts for overloading or braking issues, helping to prevent accidents.

Why is trailer tracking important?

+

Trailer tracking is important by how, through maintaining correct tyre pressure with TPMS, fleet managers can enhance fuel efficiency while lowering emissions, thereby upholding both safety and environmental (ESG) compliance. Such monitoring also minimises maintenance costs and prevents downtime, keeping fleets productive.

Who is trailer tracking for?

+

Trailer tracking is primarily for HGV fleets. For instance, automated coupling status updates allow managers to instantly see which trailers are attached, loaded, or empty, thereby increasing utilisation. Combined with real-time GPS data on speed and location, this implies more comprehensive oversight for fleet managers.

What is a trailer tracking device?

+

A trailer tracking device is a piece of hardware that uses GPS to monitor trailer location, movement, and status. Trailer trackers deliver live updates so that fleet managers can track assets, increase security, and streamline operations.

What is trailer tracking software?

+

Trailer tracking software is a platform with features such as geofencing, customisable notifications, and in-depth reporting. Advanced trailer tracking systems for fleets also include predictive maintenance alerts and theft prevention tools, ensuring efficiency, security, and visibility.

What are the benefits of trailer tracking?

+

Trailer tracking enables fleets to make the most of their assets by ensuring the number of empty journeys is reduced. Moreover, real-time location data safeguards cargo, and the continuous monitoring of tyre conditions and brake systems enhances overall fleet safety.
