Extending our track record
for innovation
Simply put, this new solution extends the visibility of your operation beyond refrigerated equipment and into another critical asset: the trailer. As a result, Thermo King is now able to offer a more comprehensive technology portfolio while also meeting the needs of customers seeking a more in-depth understanding of fleet status.
What type of data does it measure?
Trailer Assist Premium brings the reality of trailer conditions on the road to life by combining operational and maintenance data points, including:
Operational data:
- — Tire pressure and temperature (TPMS data)
- — Electronic braking system (EBS data)
- — Trailer load
- — Odometer
- — Coupled/non-coupled ratio and notifications
- — Trailer VIN
- — Insufficient voltage supply alarm
- — Insufficient brake lining/tire pressure (for any tire/wheel)
- — Insufficient pneumatic supply
- — Anti-lock braking system (ABS) event
Maintenance data (depending upon sensor availability):
- — Brake lining and status
- — Tire performance per wheel
Access all information online via the Thermo King TracKing platform. On your smartphone, use the
