Container and cargo GPS trackers STAR Trackers: stand-alone & rechargeable

Container and goods tracking for cargo that travels where there is no power source. STAR stands for Stand-Alone and Rechargeable, and that is exactly the problem it solves.

  • Months per charge
  • Magnetized base
  • Weather-proof alloy
  • Off-grid capable
Use case

Cargo does not come with a power supply

Containers, trailers and palletised goods spend most of their journey detached from any vehicle, which is where conventional wired trackers stop reporting.

A STAR Tracker clamps to any metallic surface with its magnetized base, runs for months on its own charge, and keeps transmitting real-time location the whole way.

Capabilities

Built to be left alone

  • Months of self-sustaining operation

    A single full charge runs the device for months, and a few hours of charging extends battery life further.

  • Magnetized alloy body

    A weather-proof alloy housing with a magnetized base attaches to any metallic surface. No fixings, no installation crew.

  • Works off-grid

    Internal power means remote areas with no power source are still covered, with real-time location transmitted throughout.

  • Survives harsh conditions

    Built to withstand extreme temperature, moisture and the conditions cargo actually travels through.

  • Integrated reporting

    The tracker feeds the fleet management software directly, giving real-time updates alongside detailed reports.
