Asset Tracker Installation

Trackers on trailers, containers, heavy equipment, and other assets, placed for a good signal, mounted to last, and hidden from tampering.

Know where everything is

Tracking what doesn’t have an engine

Trailers, equipment, generators, and containers sit for days and move without a driver logging in. An asset tracker tells you where they are. Where you put it decides how well it works. A tracker buried under metal or mounted near heat loses signal, and one in plain sight is easy to remove.

We install battery-powered, solar, and hardwired trackers following each maker’s guide, and match each device to the right asset so your records line up from day one.

  • Placed for a clear view of the sky
  • Kept away from heat, moving parts, and impact areas
  • Mounted with the method the maker specifies for that surface
  • Out of easy reach to discourage tampering
  • Asset ID matched to device serial number

What we track

Three ways to power a tracker

Your platform and your assets decide which type you use. We install all three.

Battery

No wiring. Good for assets with no power source. Placement and reporting settings affect how long the battery lasts.

Solar

A small panel keeps the battery charged. Needs to face up and sit outdoors with a clear view of the sky.

Hardwired

Powered from the trailer or equipment, often with a backup battery for when the asset is unhooked or shut off.

How an asset tracker install goes

Match

Pair each device with its asset ID before it goes on.

Place

Choose a spot with a sky view, away from heat and moving parts, out of easy reach.

Mount

Fasten it the way the maker specifies for that surface. Wire it if it’s a powered unit.

Confirm

Check that the tracker reports on your platform, then photo and log it.

Brand-neutral

Your trackers, installed right

We’ve installed asset trackers from providers such as Trackunit, Samsara, Geotab, CalAmp, Xirgo, Adveez, PassTime GPS, Verizon Connect, and Quartix. We follow the maker’s guide for whichever ones you use.

Before install day

  • Trackers and mounting hardware on site
  • A list of assets with IDs and locations
  • Assets parked where we can reach them
  • Yard access and your site safety rules

Asset tracker questions

Where do you put a tracker on a trailer?

It depends on the device and trailer type. Most makers want the tracker high, with a clear view of the sky and not boxed in by metal. We follow the maker’s placement guide for your device.

Can you do a whole yard of trailers at once?

Yes. With trailers lined up and trackers matched to IDs, we can work through a yard efficiently. We plan the order with you so trailers that need to leave are done first.

How long does a battery tracker last?

That depends on the device and how often it reports, which is set in your platform. Good placement helps. Ask your provider for the expected battery life at your settings.

Do you install trackers on heavy equipment?

Yes, including powered units that connect to the machine. Send us the makes and models so we can confirm the right install kit.

A tracker stopped reporting. Can you help?

Yes. Our quality control service tracks down offline units, checks placement and power, and fixes or flags what we find.
