CARGO TRAILER

Entopizo supplies a cargo trailer GPS tracker with a Greek tracking platform and SIM subscription for owners and fleet managers who need to locate trailers park

4 products

A cargo trailer GPS tracker lets you locate and monitor a trailer independently of the truck or van that tows it. This matters because a trailer spends much of its life detached, parked at a yard, a customer site, or on the street, where it can be hooked up by anyone and driven off. Entopizo supplies this type of trailer tracking device to haulers, rental companies, construction firms, and private owners who need to know where a trailer is at all times, not just when it is attached to a vehicle.

Because trailers have no ignition and often no reliable power line, the tracker itself has to supply its own power for long periods. This is the main difference from a standard vehicle GPS tracker, and it shapes which model fits a given trailer.

Why cargo trailers need their own tracker

A trailer is an easy target for theft precisely because it does not need a key, only a hitch. Once detached from its tractor unit, a trailer can disappear in minutes with no ignition event to trigger an alert from the towing vehicle's own tracker. A dedicated trailer gps tracking system closes this gap by reporting the trailer's position on its own, independent of what is or is not attached to it.

Fleet managers also use trailer tracking to control utilization: knowing which trailers are idle, which are loaded, and which have been sitting at a customer site for days helps plan rotations and billing for demurrage.

How to choose the right tracker for a trailer

The first decision is power. Some trailers have an electrical connector to the towing vehicle that can supply power when hitched; others, especially unpowered cargo or utility trailers, rely entirely on an internal battery. For this reason we generally recommend a tracker built for long battery autonomy and resistant to the elements, since trailers sit outdoors in all weather.

  • Waterproof housing, since the tracker is mounted externally and exposed to rain and road spray
  • Internal battery life long enough to cover periods when the trailer is unhitched and unpowered
  • Compact size and concealed mounting, so the tracker is not visible or easy to remove
  • 4G connectivity for a stable connection to the platform

From our range, the Teltonika FMC234 is a waterproof 4G tracker well suited to external mounting on a trailer chassis. The Teltonika TAT140 4G is built specifically as a backup tracker with its own battery, useful as a second, hidden unit in case the primary tracker is found and removed. The Teltonika FTC881 4G is a high voltage tracker, relevant if the trailer has access to a stable power source. The Teltonika FMB204 is a compact unit originally aimed at scooters and boats that also works on smaller trailers where size and discretion matter.

Installation and the subscription

Installation on a trailer is usually simple: the tracker is fixed to the chassis or inside a sealed compartment, away from view, with antennas positioned for the best signal. Battery-powered units need no wiring at all, which keeps the installation fast and leaves no trace.

Every Entopizo tracker is paired with our own SIM card and access to our tracking platform and mobile apps, under a subscription. This includes the data connection for the tracker, hosting and maintenance of the platform, position history, geofences, and alerts such as movement outside permitted hours or unexpected detachment. A tracker sold without a subscription can still store or transmit position data if the buyer supplies their own SIM and manages their own server, but in practice this means handling connectivity, platform costs, and support alone. Our subscription is designed so the owner only has to look at a map.

Real use cases

A construction company tracks cargo trailers left on job sites over weekends, receiving an alert if one moves outside working hours. A trailer rental business confirms the location and return of units at the end of a rental period. A haulier uses a hidden backup tracker so that if the visible unit is disabled, the trailer can still be located.

Frequently asked questions

Can a trailer be tracked without a battery or power connection?

Yes, battery-powered trackers such as the Teltonika TAT140 4G are designed to run independently for extended periods without any wiring to the trailer.

Is a subscription required to use the tracker?

Entopizo trackers are supplied with our SIM card and platform under a subscription, which covers connectivity, hosting, and alerts. Without a subscription, the owner would need to provide their own SIM and server.

Where should the tracker be mounted on a trailer?

It should be fixed in a hidden, weather-protected location on the chassis or frame, with the antenna positioned for clear signal reception.

Can one platform show both the trailer and the towing vehicle?

Yes, our platform displays all tracked units, trailers and vehicles alike, on the same map and account.
