SAFETY ISN’T OPTIONAL
When it comes to running a fleet, safety isn’t optional, and compliance shouldn’t feel impossible. But staying ahead of inspections, violations, and risk can feel overwhelming without the right tools.
PROTECT YOUR TRAILERS
Phillips Connect sensors give you real-time visibility into trailer health, helping you stay proactive, avoid costly violations, and protect your drivers. Here’s how each solution supports safety and compliance:
Automatically detects and reports ABS issues the moment they occur. No more guessing or relying on driver reports. Know before an inspection, so you can address faults early and avoid CSA violations or out-of-service events.


Monitors tire pressure and temperature in real time, alerting you to under-inflation, leaks, or overheating. Prevent tire blowouts, extend tire life, and reduce the risk of roadside failures that can lead to delays, fines, or accidents.
Provides visibility into brake stroke performance and overall braking health. Detect issues like drag, imbalance, or worn components before they cause downtime or inspection failures.



Tire Health and Uptime
Track and respond to brake and tire issues before they lead to failures or violations.

Trailer Tracking and Visibility
Gain full visibility into trailer movements and conditions to support safer operations.

Cargo and Asset Security
Protect drivers and loads with door sensors and geofence theft-detection alerts.
STAY SECURE AND COMPLIANT
When a trailer has a safety-related tire issue, such as lighting failures, brake faults, and tire problems go unnoticed until they cause incidents. These preventable issues not only endanger drivers but also hurt your CSA scores and inflate costs.
Yes – with real-time fault alerts and pre-trip readiness checks, our solutions help identify and resolve issues before roadside inspections or DOT stops. This proactive approach reduces CSA violations, prevents fines, and keeps your fleet operating safely and efficiently.
Operating without smart trailer technology leaves fleets vulnerable to preventable safety issues, inefficiencies, and rising costs. This impacts everything from compliance to profitability. Some of the main risks could include:
Smart trailers give you real-time visibility into trailer health, safety systems, and asset utilization. That means faster pre-trip inspections, fewer roadside violations, and the ability to fix problems before they escalate. Acting now helps to improve your operations by knowing the location and status of your trailers, protecting your team and cargo, staying compliant, and gaining a competitive advantage in an increasingly data-driven industry.
Safety technology helps fleets stay compliant by reducing violations, preventing unauthorized use, and providing real-time data that supports safer operations and regulatory requirements. Learn more in our latest product spotlight.
Fleet Trailer Safety Systems are a suite of technologies and devices installed on commercial trailers to enhance safety, security, and operational efficiency. They work in conjunction with tractor safety systems to create a comprehensive safety ecosystem for the entire vehicle (tractor-trailer) combination.
Under-inflated tires are a major cause of blowouts, which can lead to loss of control and serious crashes. A Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver and fleet manager to low pressure or high temperature in trailers’ tires before a catastrophic failure occurs.
A fleet safety package is a bundled set of hardware, software, policies and training designed to prevent crashes, improve compliance and reduce liability, usually combining telematics (GPS + gateway), video telematics (dashcams/AI), predictive maintenance, driver coaching and reporting/analytics.
Many modern systems have built-in batteries or solar panels to power the sensors and cellular modems even when the trailer is dropped (unattended). This allows for continuous security monitoring and location tracking in a yard or at a shipper/receiver facility.
