Trinetra Guard has unveiled the EM6000Auto, an automated trailer security and landing gear system. The technology allows users to control gear movement via smartphone app or RFID, while also addressing cargo theft and manual labor safety risks.
Why it matters
The system reduces the risk of cargo theft by locking trailer landing gear and improves worker safety by eliminating the need for manual cranking. It also includes features to detect if trailers sink into soft ground while parked.
The system features a 15-minute retrofit installation time and a battery designed for a 14 to 15-year lifespan. The unit motors are rated for more than 250,000 operating cycles, with an estimated total lifespan of 30 years.
