Refrigeration & Fleet Sensor Installation

What Does A Fleet Sensor Actually Do?

A sensor is a small probe or switch wired into the vehicle and tied back to the telematics unit already on board. It takes one real-world reading — the air temperature inside a reefer box, whether a rear door is open or shut, how full a tank is, whether a piece of equipment is running — and sends it up with the GPS position on the same schedule as everything else. In your portal it becomes a line on the same trip history you already read, with a threshold you set and an alert when a reading crosses it. Nothing about how you log in or where you look changes.

Why Refrigeration Monitoring Matters Most

For anyone hauling food, flowers, pharmacy or any other cold load, the temperature record is the product. A reefer that drifts for two hours overnight in a yard can cost a whole trailer of stock, and an argument with a customer about whether the load ever left the correct range is very hard to win from memory. A wired probe inside the box gives you a timestamped reading every few minutes, an alert on your phone when the box climbs above the number you set, and a printable history if a claim ever lands. Fleets that carry cold loads usually find this pays for itself the first time it catches a door left ajar at a stop.

Which Sensors Do We Install?

• Reefer and box temperature probes — single or multi-zone, for trailers, box trucks and refrigerated vans.
• Door sensors — rear, side and bulkhead doors, so an open door at a stop shows up as an event, not a guess.
• Tank and level sensors — fuel, water, hydraulic and product tanks on service and vacuum trucks.
• Auxiliary and equipment inputs — lights, beacons, pumps, lifts and any other circuit you want to see as on or off.

How Do We Install Them?

We come to your yard, terminal or jobsite. A probe goes where it reads the real condition rather than somewhere convenient — inside the box in the return air path for a reefer, not clipped to the outside wall — and the cable is routed through existing grommets and loomed the whole way so it cannot chafe against a body panel or get caught by a pallet jack. Door sensors are mounted so they survive being slammed several hundred times a week. Every connection is sealed, every run is secured, and the hole we pass through is sealed behind us so nothing leaks cold air or water. Then we watch the reading appear in your portal before we call the vehicle done.

Will It Work With Our Current GPS Provider?

Yes. We are brand agnostic and install across every major telematics platform, so sensors go onto the system you already run. Where a platform supports wired inputs, wireless probes or both, we will tell you plainly which suits your vehicles and why, and we will work with your provider or reseller during the install so the inputs are named and scaled correctly on their side the first time. Multi-brand fleets are normal for us — each vehicle gets fitted to whatever it reports into.

How Quickly Can You Get To Us?

Most fleets are scheduled within three to five days, and a crew completes 15 to 20 vehicles per day, per installer. Sensors are usually fitted in the same visit as a tracker or camera, which keeps the vehicle off the road once instead of twice. Tell us how many vehicles, what they haul and what is already fitted, and we will come to you.
