Trailer tracking

Full control of your trailers. Anytime, anywhere.

Always real-time insight into location and status

Trailer dispersal and unnecessary downtime cause inefficiency and frustration. With GPS-Buddy’s trailer tracking system, you can track every trailer in real time independent of the towing vehicle. This gives you full control over location, usage, and availability, while preventing unnecessary costs or loss of equipment.

Always real-time insight into location and status

Know exactly where your trailers are even when they’re uncoupled. Through our online platform, you have 24/7 access to the current location, idle time, and movements. No more searching or calling around; respond quickly when planning or deploying assets.

Use XT4

With GPS-Buddy, you maintain control not just over your trucks, but also your trailers. Outfitting trailers with an XT4R, our purpose-built trailer tracker, gives you real-time location insight plus additional vehicle data, such as axle load. For lighter applications or basic tracking, you can choose a smart asset tag, which automatically links to the truck once they’re on the road together.

Trailer tracking system connection

Truck-trailer combination

With the XT4 and RFID tag, trucks and trailers are automatically linked within the platform. This allows you to see them as one combination with two unique IDs on the map. You can easily track which truck transported which trailer, even if the trailer was used by multiple trucks in a single day. Routes for both the truck and the trailer are also viewable separately.

Plan and utilize more efficiently

By monitoring idle times, usage frequency, and deployment per location, you can optimize your trailer management. Unused trailers are quickly reassigned, increasing utilization rates. Less idle time = higher returns from your existing fleet.

What exactly is a trailer tracking system?

A trailer tracking system allows you to monitor trailers and semi-trailers in real time. Using GPS technology, you can see precisely where your trailer is, whether it’s stationary or in use – without relying on a tractor unit. This eliminates time spent searching and optimizes asset deployment.

How does GPS-Buddy’s trailer tracking system work?

Our solution consists of an XT4 or asset tag with its own power source. It automatically sends location data and status updates to our platform. At a glance, you can see where your trailers are, how long they’ve been stationary, and when they’ve moved – perfect for planning, deployment, and security.

What are the benefits of a trailer tracking system?

With GPS-Buddy, you gain control over location, utilization, and occupancy rates, reduce idle time, increase trailer usage, protect against theft and unauthorized use, receive automatic reports for analysis and billing – all without manual administration.

Does the system require vehicle power?

No. Our XT4s for trailer tracking come with an internal battery or can optionally be connected to the trailer’s power supply. They remain active even when uncoupled or unused for extended periods.

Can I set alerts for movement or departure?

Yes. With geofencing and smart alerts, you’ll receive immediate notifications when a trailer moves, leaves a location, or is used outside working hours. This keeps you in control and allows you to act quickly on deviations or potential theft.

Which sectors is the system suitable for?

Our solution is widely used in industries such as construction, transport & logistics, rental, infrastructure, and waste management. Anywhere trailers and semi-trailers are used without a permanent tractor connection, GPS-Buddy provides clarity and peace of mind.

How much does GPS-Buddy’s trailer tracking system cost?

Pricing depends on the number of trailers, desired features, and subscription length. We offer tailored solutions at competitive rates. Request a free demo or quote – we’re happy to help.
