Trailer tracking for UK hauliers and operators

Trailers spend most of their lives parked, often at a customer's yard or a drop, and nobody has a clear picture of where they all are. So you end up hiring extra trailers because your own can't be found, which gets expensive. A trailer tracker keeps each one on the map and tells you when one moves unexpectedly.

Find any trailer in seconds

Trailers show up next to your vehicles, with the last reported position and how long each one has been parked. Planners can stop ringing drivers and customers to find them. You can also see which trailers are sitting idle and put them back to work.

Movement and theft alerts

Draw a geofence around a yard or customer site and you'll get an alert when a trailer leaves it. If the trailer is unhitched from the tractor that powers it, a rugged tracker with a large backup battery keeps reporting. Not forever, but for a while.

Power, and what the tracker needs

Most trackers in our range need a power supply. They run from the trailer or tractor and fall back on their internal battery. If a trailer is never connected to power, fit a battery-powered asset tracker such as the TAT240 or TAT140 instead. There's no wiring, and by default it sends a position every 8 hours.

  • Hardwired trailer trackers run off the trailer supply and report while it's connected.
  • Battery-mounted trackers suit trailers and units with a battery of their own, such as a refrigeration or tail-lift battery.
  • Add a Teltonika EYE Sensor for temperature and humidity inside the body.
Recommended hardware

Which tracker to choose

TAT240
For trailers that never see a power supply. It mounts on a magnet, sends tamper alerts and reports once every 8 hours by default.
TAT140
The same battery tracker without the holder. Strap it, screw it or hide it inside a trailer with no power supply. IP68.
FTC164
Wired to the trailer supply, IP69K, with a 2,600 mAh backup battery and 1-Wire for reefer probes. Not yet on our supported-device list; ask us before connecting it to Fleetalyse.
FMB965
Sealed to IP67, with a 1200 mAh backup battery, for trailers wired to 12 or 24 V. It's 2G only, though, and UK 2G closes in 2029-2030, so don't expect a long life from it.
BTSMP183CB02
A calibrated sensor that keeps its own log, for refrigerated trailers that need EN 12830 temperature records.
BTSID1
A Bluetooth ID tag. With one on the trailer, a Bluetooth tracker on the tractor unit can report which trailer is nearby. Ask us before relying on beacon data in Fleetalyse.
ATC774
Screw-mounted, IP68 and 4G only, for unpowered trailers where one position a day is enough. Not yet on our supported-device list; ask us before connecting it to Fleetalyse.

Questions fleets ask

Will a trailer tracker work when the trailer is unhitched?

For a while. A powered tracker runs on its backup battery once the supply is lost, long enough to report movement and a last position. If a trailer stays unpowered for weeks, use a battery-powered asset tracker such as the TAT240. It runs from its own battery pack and needs no wiring.

Can I monitor temperature in a refrigerated trailer?

Yes. Put a Teltonika EYE Sensor inside the body and pair it with a Bluetooth-capable tracker. Temperature and humidity are then recorded alongside the location.

Is a trailer tracker weatherproof?

The sealed ones are, and those are what you want on a trailer. The FMC234 has an IP67 casing and the FTC887 is rated IP69K. Both are fine mounted where they're exposed.
