Battery-powered GPS trackers keep dry van trailers visible in yards, on the road and at customer docks, even when they are unhooked from a tractor.
Dry van trailers spend much of their lives apart from the tractors that pull them. They wait in yards, sit at shipper and receiver docks and move through drop-and-hook arrangements, so a carrier can easily lose track of where a particular trailer is. A Korvatrack battery-powered GPS tracker attaches to the trailer itself and reports location whether or not a tractor is connected.
With each trailer on a live map, carriers can find equipment quickly, spot units sitting too long at a customer and verify that a loaded trailer is where it should be. Geofences at yards and docks record arrivals and departures, and movement alerts flag a trailer that leaves without authorization. Low battery alerts let fleet managers plan tracker maintenance before a device stops reporting.
Dry vans have no dependable power source when unhooked, and a self-contained, battery-powered tracker can be mounted discreetly on the trailer.
Recommended fit
A self-contained, long-life GPS tracker for trailers, containers, unpowered equipment and valuable assets. Attach it and it reports on its own.
A GPS tracker wired to the electrical system of a vehicle or machine. Hidden from view, always powered, and suited to heavy trucks and powered equipment.
Find any dry van on the map instead of walking a yard or calling a driver, saving time when a trailer must be loaded or moved quickly.
Geofences at shipper and receiver docks log how long a trailer stays, giving carriers dated records to discuss delays and detention with customers. Accurate timelines make those conversations more productive.
Movement and geofence exit alerts flag a trailer that leaves a yard unexpectedly, so owners can follow its live location and respond promptly. Early notice makes a faster response possible.
Trip history shows which trailers move regularly and which sit idle for weeks, helping carriers right-size fleets and balance equipment between terminals. Better decisions follow from knowing actual equipment use.
Choose the events you want to hear about and who should be told. Alerts arrive as push notifications in the mobile apps and by email, and each one is logged in the platform.

Learn moreBattery life depends on how often the tracker reports and the conditions it operates in. Korvatrack alerts you with a low battery notification, so fleet managers can plan a replacement or recharge before a trailer tracker stops reporting its position.
Yes. Battery-powered trackers are compact and self-contained, so they can be mounted in concealed spots on the trailer. Unplug and tamper alerts add another layer, notifying managers if a device is disturbed or removed from its mounting location. Concealment also reduces the chance of casual removal.
Yes. Because the tracker has its own battery, it keeps reporting location while a trailer sits in a yard or at a customer dock with no tractor attached. That independence is the main reason carriers choose battery-powered units for trailers.
