Thermo King has expanded its telematics offering with its new TracKing Smart Trailer platform, offering greater visibility into trailer health, the company announced through a news release.

The new offering complements its existing TracKing Pro telematics platform.

“As cargo management gets more and more complex, the need for reliable, real-time data becomes critical,” said Adam Wittwer, president of Thermo King Americas, in a release. “The TracKing Smart Trailer telematics system empowers fleet operators to make smarter, faster decisions that help minimize costs, all while reducing environmental impact. This comprehensive solution can enable fleets to operate more efficiently, keep trailers on the road longer, and help their businesses to remain competitive in today’s market.”

TracKing Smart Trailer gives users actionable insights that can boost operational efficiency and help fleets stay compliant with regulations, Thermo King claims. Users get real-time, 360-degree visibility of critical trailer components like tire pressure, brake condition, door position, lights and axle weight.

“Our customers are continually looking for ways to streamline operations and reduce costs,” added Paul Kroes, trailer innovation leader at Thermo King. “The TracKing Smart Trailer telematics solution was developed in response to this demand, allowing fleet managers to monitor and maintain every aspect of their trailer’s performance, helping prevent costly repairs and avoidable downtime.”

When combined with Thermo King’s TracKing Pro telematics platform, TracKing Smart Trailer now offers a bumper-to-reefer view of both the trailer and its cargo, the company says.
