Monitoring the coupling status

Kingpin sensors for safe coupling control

Kingpin sensors reliably detect the coupling status between the support frame and semi-trailer - a crucial safety factor in intermodal transport. This allows incorrect connections to be detected at an early stage and risks to be avoided during handling. The robust sensor technology is designed for tough everyday use at transhipment terminals and in rail transport - weatherproof, durable and low-maintenance.

For rail and shipping traffic

Container Tracking

Transparency is crucial in global container logistics. Tracking solutions enable the continuous monitoring of containers along the entire transport chain - from loading at the port to arrival at their destination. Location data, movement profiles and status information such as temperature or vibrations are recorded in real time. This increases safety, improves scheduling and creates trust among shippers and customers - worldwide.
