Trailer temperature monitoring
Food hygiene regulation 852/2004 states that high-risk foods should be stored at 8°C or lower, including during transportation.

How does trailer tracking work?
Trailer tracking uses GPS technology and satellite connectivity to deliver on-demand visibility of your fleet. Each trailer is fitted with a GPS tracker that communicates via a SIM card to our Kinesis platform, where you can monitor assets on the Live Map.
The system provides historical journey records, configurable geofence alerts, and detailed reports to support smarter fleet management. Operational efficiency and trailer security are enhanced with instant alerts on unauthorised movement and location data that aids fast recovery in the event of theft.
Applications of trailer tracking
Livestock trailers and horse boxes
With agricultural trailer theft values rising by 15% to an estimated £1.3 million in 2024, GPS trackers are a vital tool for farms and businesses. They significantly increase the chances of recovering a stolen livestock trailer or horse box.
Refrigerated trailers
Using a GPS tracker on a refrigerated trailer allows businesses to monitor the location and temperature of goods, ensuring the integrity of perishable cargo throughout its journey.
HGV trailers
GPS trackers for HGV trailers enable efficient fleet management by providing valuable data on location, routes, and mileage, helping to optimise logistics and reduce fuel costs.
Flatbed and general use trailers
A GPS tracker on a flatbed or general use trailer enhances security by providing an instant alert and precise location if the trailer is moved without authorisation, significantly increasing the chances of recovery.
