Technology has revolutionised towing – and smart trailers are driving that revolution. From electronic brake controllers to integrated battery systems, here’s how TrailerTek’s latest tech is shaping the future of road travel.
At TrailerTek, we're leading this shift with a 2025-ready lineup of smart accessories designed to improve safety, efficiency, convenience, and security on the road.
12 V Intelligent Power Packs with Digital Control
Gone are the days of deep‑cycle batteries that go flat overnight. TrailerTek’s latest Smart Power Packs include:
- Automatic voltage stabiliser to prevent over‑or undercharging
- LED charge indicators and fault alerts
- Bluetooth connectivity to relay battery status to your phone
- Ability to power on‑trail fridges, LEDs and in‑cab charging
This safeguards electrical systems and allows real-time monitoring – especially helpful for long trips off‑grid.
Adaptive Electric Brake Controllers
TrailerTek’s newest electric brake controllers use inertial sensing and on‑board processors to apply trailer brakes in exact sync with the tow vehicle. No manual gain knobs or guesswork. The result? Even, smooth braking that reduces stopping distances, brake pad wear and jackknifing potential.
Smart LED Lighting with Diagnostics
TrailerTek’s smart LED lighting kits connect your trailer’s markers, brake and indicator lights to a compact control module. How it helps:
- Monitors current flow for each light circuit
- Sends out alerts – via in‑cab buzzer or dashboard LED – if lighting fails
- Flexible fault logging to help mechanics identify wiring issues quickly
This dramatically improves safety and prevents surprise failures during legal nightly travel or ferry checks.
Tyre Pressure & Temperature Sensors
Tyre blowouts are a major road hazard. TrailerTek’s smart TPMS system replaces valves with sensors that record tyre pressure and temperature every 30 seconds, transmitting to a bright cockpit display. Early warnings let you stop and re‑inflate before disaster strikes, prolonging tyre life too.
Integrated Solar Panels
Eco‑friendly and practical, TrailerTek's slimline solar panels mount to the roof of a smart trailer or canopy. Feeding the Smart Power Pack below, they offer sustainable charging on sunny highways or when camping, reducing the run time of your engine or generator.
Cloud‑Connected Asset Tracking
Tow vehicle theft is rare – but stolen trailers, especially with gear inside, still happen. TrailerTek now offers small GPS tracker modules in their Smart accessory line. Hidden under the chassis or toolbox, these trackers upload location data to a companion smartphone app every five minutes. Geofencing alerts tell you right away if your trailer moves unexpectedly.
Why Smart Matters in 2025
- Safety: Brake syncing, lighting diagnostics and TPMS stop accidents before they happen.
- Efficiency: Solar‑powered charging and smart voltage systems reduce fuel use.
- Convenience: Bluetooth monitoring, cloud alerts and adaptive controllers minimise thought and effort on the road.
- Security: Tracker modules and auto‑detect lighting issues mean fewer wheel‑or‑fender surprises mid-journey.
Choosing TrailerTek’s Smart Upgrades
- Start small: Begin with a Smart Power Pack or brake controller – they’re the most transformative upgrades.
- Add TPMS or GPS tracking based on your towing type – heavy-duty, remote, or high-value loads benefit most.
- Bundle LED diagnostics and solar panels for best efficiency and reduced maintenance needs.
All TrailerTek smart accessories are plug‑and‑play with clear wiring instructions – and the Bluetooth apps are free with each kit.
The road ahead
Smart trailers are more than a trend – they’re the future of towing. As regulations and insurance evolve to favour electronically monitored trailers, these systems become essential. By investing in TrailerTek’s 2025‑grade smart line, you’re future‑proofing your towing setup for safety, savings and serenity – mile after mile.
