EM6000Auto brings next-generation trailer security to MATS 2026, addressing the growing cargo theft crisis facing North American fleets.
COSTA MESA, CA, UNITED STATES, February 25, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — As cargo theft incidents continue to rise across North America, ELD Mandate, through its security technology division Trinetra Guard, announced that its next-generation trailer security device, the EM6000Auto, will debut live at the Mid-America Trucking Show (MATS 2026) on Friday, March 27 at 10:10 AM at the East Hall – ProTalks Stage.
The EM6000Auto is engineered to address two major vulnerabilities in modern freight operations:
Detached trailer cargo theft
Driver injury risk from manual landing gear cranking
By combining hardened, tamper-resistant landing gear security with an integrated automatic lift system, EM6000Auto delivers both cargo protection and driver safety innovation within a single platform.
The system automatically locks the trailer’s landing gear to prevent unauthorized movement. Unlock access is restricted to authorized drivers through secure mobile app authentication, RFID credentials, OTP keypad entry, or remote back-office portal authorization.
Cargo Theft: A Growing Operational Threat
Cargo theft has evolved from isolated incidents into coordinated criminal operations. Organized theft networks increasingly target drop yards, warehouse staging areas, and unsecured trailer pools with calculated precision. In many reported cases, stolen freight is redistributed within hours, significantly reducing recovery probabilities.
High-demand goods such as electronics, pharmaceuticals, food products, consumer packaged goods, and industrial materials remain primary targets.
For fleets, the consequences extend well beyond the value of stolen cargo:
Increased insurance premiums
Higher deductibles
Contractual penalties
Supply chain disruption
Damaged shipper relationships
Operational downtime
“Cargo theft today is strategic and organized,” said Ratan Baid, CEO of Trinetra Guard. “The EM6000Auto was developed to protect trailers during their most vulnerable moments — when they are detached, staged, or temporarily inactive — while also improving driver safety and operational efficiency.”
Hardened Landing Gear Security – Built to Deter
Unlike small tracking devices that may be concealed or easily removed, the EM6000Auto is visibly mounted and structurally integrated into the trailer’s landing gear assembly.
Removal is not a simple process. It would require heavy-duty cutting equipment and significant time — conditions that dramatically increase exposure risk for criminals. The visible, hardened presence serves as both a deterrent and a monitoring layer.
Core security capabilities include:
Hardened, tamper-resistant deterrent system
Landing gear integrated architecture
Independent power system for trailer-only operation
Real-time movement alerts
Customizable geofencing
Rapid notification of unauthorized movement
Installation in approximately 20 minutes
The device continues monitoring even when trailers are detached from tractors during drop-and-hook operations, yard storage, or warehouse staging.
By increasing friction, time, and risk for potential theft attempts, the EM6000Auto shifts trailers from vulnerable assets to actively protected equipment.
Auto-Lift Technology: Eliminating Manual Cranking
Beyond theft prevention, EM6000Auto introduces automatic landing gear lift functionality — eliminating the need for manual cranking.
Traditionally, drivers must manually crank landing gear during coupling and uncoupling procedures. This repetitive and physically demanding task can contribute to:
Shoulder strain
Lower back injuries
Wrist and elbow stress
Fatigue-related injuries
Over time, repetitive strain may lead to musculoskeletal injuries and workers’ compensation claims.
EM6000Auto automates the lifting and lowering of landing gear, reducing physical strain while improving operational efficiency.
Benefits include:
Reduced driver fatigue
Improved comfort and ergonomics
Faster coupling and uncoupling
Lower injury exposure
Potential reduction in workers’ compensation claims
In an industry facing persistent driver shortages, technologies that reduce physical strain may also contribute to improved retention and job satisfaction.
From Passive Tracking to Proactive Intelligence
At MATS 2026, the live ProTalks demonstration will showcase:
Unauthorized trailer movement alerts
After-hours yard exit notifications
Geofence breach detection
Tamper event identification
Automatic landing gear lock and lift functionality
Rather than functioning solely as a post-theft recovery tool, EM6000Auto is positioned as a layered defense and operational improvement platform.
Early detection, visible deterrence, secure locking, and automated functionality combine to create a multi-dimensional security approach.
Why MATS 2026 Is the Right Platform
The Mid-America Trucking Show remains one of North America’s largest annual trucking exhibitions, bringing together thousands of fleet operators, owner-operators, logistics providers, insurers, and technology leaders.
With both cargo theft and driver safety ranking among top operational concerns, EM6000Auto addresses two high-impact challenges simultaneously.
The March 27 ProTalks session at 10:10 AM (East Hall Stage) will provide a live, technology-focused presentation demonstrating both the security architecture and the automated lift system.
Fleet operators, safety directors, risk managers, and insurance professionals are encouraged to attend.
Addressing Insurance, Risk & Workforce Safety
Insurance providers increasingly evaluate fleet security protocols and injury prevention initiatives when assessing risk exposure.
Detached trailer vulnerability is frequently cited in theft claims, while repetitive strain injuries remain contributors to workers’ compensation filings.
By integrating hardened trailer monitoring with automatic lift functionality, fleets may strengthen both their security posture and workforce safety programs.
While no technology can eliminate all risk, layered protection strategies can meaningfully reduce exposure.
