GPS tracking for fleets and assets, nationwide and worldwide

GPS Tracking for Intermodal Chassis

Battery-powered GPS trackers help chassis owners and drayage operators find equipment across ports, rail ramps and yards and document how long units stay out.

Why track intermodal chassis with GPS

Intermodal chassis move containers between ports, rail ramps, warehouses and customer yards. They are interchanged among many hands, parked in large lots and sometimes left where nobody is sure who is responsible. A Korvatrack battery-powered GPS tracker attaches to the chassis frame and reports position independently, helping owners and drayage operators know where each unit sits at any moment. Ownership questions become simpler.

That knowledge supports better equipment control. Geofences at terminals, ramps and customer sites record entry and exit, trip history shows how long a chassis stayed with a user, and movement alerts flag a unit that leaves approved areas. Low battery alerts help fleet staff keep devices working, so a chassis pool remains visible rather than slowly disappearing into the supply chain.

The right tracker for intermodal chassis

Chassis are frequently dropped, interchanged and parked without a tractor, so a battery-powered tracker mounted to the frame keeps reporting without any vehicle connection.

What owners use it for

  • Pool Equipment Location

    Owners see every chassis on a live map and can find units in terminals, ramps and customer yards without calling carriers or checking interchange paperwork.

  • Terminal and Ramp Geofences

    Entry and exit records at ports, rail ramps and warehouses give operators a dated timeline of where each chassis has been and for how long.

  • Overdue Equipment Recovery

    Trip history and dwell time reveal chassis that have been held too long by a user, helping owners follow up and bring equipment back into service.

  • Tracker Health Monitoring

    Low battery and tamper alerts help staff keep trackers working across a large pool, so chassis do not drop off the map unnoticed. Early service prevents quiet gaps in coverage.

Alerts that matter for intermodal chassis

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.

How alerts work
  • Geofence entry or exit
  • Movement outside approved hours
  • Unplug or tamper notification
  • Low battery on tracker
  • Chassis moved without tractor

Frequently asked questions

Why use a battery-powered tracker on an intermodal chassis?

Chassis are constantly dropped and interchanged without a tractor, so wired power is not dependable. A battery-powered tracker mounts to the frame and keeps reporting location independently, giving owners continuous visibility over equipment that changes hands often. That independence is valuable in busy terminals.

Can I tell how long a chassis has been out with a carrier?

Yes. Geofences and trip history record when a chassis leaves a terminal or yard and when it returns, so owners can calculate time out and follow up on equipment that has been held longer than expected. Those figures support practical follow-up with the carrier.

Does Korvatrack serve drayage companies and chassis pools?

Yes. Korvatrack tracks assets for businesses of any size across the United States and worldwide. Drayage operators and chassis owners can place battery-powered trackers on equipment and manage them through the web interface and iOS and Android apps. Setup is the same for small and large pools.
