Magnet is really tough and the device was smaller than I expected. great for hiding. Put it under here for now but might move the tracker. Magnet is good too.

WHAT A TRAILER TRACKER DOES
How a GPS Tracker for Trailers Works
A trailer GPS tracker is a small device that reports a trailer's location, movement and status in real time. The tracker reads GPS satellites to find precise location coordinates. The unit then sends that location data over cellular networks to your phone. Most trailers have no steady power, so the tracker runs on an internal battery.
Cargo & Utility Trailers
Enclosed and utility trailers full of tools and equipment, parked at job sites and home driveways.
Equipment Haulers
Gooseneck, dump and flatbed trailers moving skid steers, ATVs and machines between job sites.
Travel Trailers & RVs
Fifth-wheels, travel trailers and toy haulers left in storage lots or at campsites for weeks.
Fleet & Commercial
Dry vans, reefers and flatbeds sitting in drop yards between loads, often far from the office.
TRAILER TRACKING MADE SIMPLE
One Tracker. Every Trailer. Every Job.
Know where your trailers are, whether they're parked, hitched, or on the road.
UNPOWERED ASSET CHALLENGES
Why Trailer Tracking Is Different from Vehicle Tracking
Trailers are unpowered assets that sit unhitched and alone most of the time. A tracker built for cars misses five problems trailers face every day.
No Constant Power
An unhitched trailer has no engine battery, so wired units lose power. An internal battery keeps the tracker reporting for weeks or months.
Higher Theft Risk
Trailers are easy to resell and hard to trace, and the cargo often costs more. A lock slows a thief. A tracker shows the route.
Detachable Asset
A thief needs a truck, a hitch ball and a few minutes. Instant movement alerts reach your phone as soon as the trailer rolls.
Long Idle Periods
Campers and utility trailers can sit stationary for a whole season. Low power mode keeps the tracker armed for up to 6 months per charge.
Harsh Outdoor Exposure
Trailers live outside in rain, snow, mud and summer heat. The IP67 sealed case handles weather and temperature swings all year round.

KEY FEATURES
Key Features for Trailer GPS Tracking
The benefits come down to three things. A battery that lasts, alerts that arrive fast, and a case that survives the weather.
Long Battery Life
Runs 1 to 3 weeks on live updates or up to 6 months in low power mode. Battery alerts warn you before power runs low.
Geofence Alerts
Draw a boundary around your yard, lot or campsite. Geofence alerts fire when the trailer enters or leaves the area you set.
Real Time Tracking
Location updates as fast as every 3 seconds while the trailer moves. Follow the route live and see the current location on a map.
Instant Movement Alerts
Get instant alerts on your phone when a parked trailer starts moving. Schedule real time alerts for nights and weekends with Alarm Mode.
Dark Mode
Turn the status lights off so nothing glows on the trailer frame at night. A hidden GPS tracker stays hidden when a thief comes searching.
IP67 Waterproof
Sealed against rain, snow, mud and road spray. Rated for 30 minutes under 1 meter of water, for trailers that live outside.
1-Year Route History
Replay every route and every stop for up to 1 year. Share a live trailer location with family or colleagues through ShareSpot.
Hardwire Option
Camper or reefer with its own 12V battery? The hardwire kit runs off any 6 to 24V power source. No more charging trips.
HARDWARE OPTIONS
Types of Trailer GPS Trackers
Trailer GPS trackers come in three power types. Match the type to how your trailer is powered and parked. Then the tracker stays live when the location counts.
Magnetic Battery-Powered
Best for: Utility, cargo and travel trailers.
Pros: Easy install with a strong magnet in less than 60 seconds. Moves between trailers.
Limitations: Recharge every 1 to 3 weeks on live updates, or up to 6 months in low power mode.
Solar-Powered
Best for: Trailers parked in open sun for months at a time.
Pros: A small panel tops up the battery, so charging trips are rare.
Limitations: Shade, snow and short winter days cut the charge. Units run larger than battery-only trackers.
Hardwired (7-Way / 12V)
Best for: Campers and reefers with their own 12V battery.
Pros: Constant power and no charging. The SpaceHawk hardwire kit fits any 6 to 24V source.
Limitations: A 7-way plug only feeds power while hitched, so wire to the trailer battery.
A tracker wired only to the 7-way plug loses power once the trailer is unhitched. A parked trailer is the easiest target, so battery power covers that gap.
WHO IS THIS FOR
Trailer GPS Tracking for Small Businesses to RV Owners
One trailer in the driveway or fifty in a drop yard, the setup is the same. Hide one tracker per trailer and watch every unit on one map.
Commercial Fleets
Fleet managers track dry vans, reefers and flatbeds across drop yards and routes. Geofence alerts flag any trailer that leaves a yard early.
Equipment Haulers
Gooseneck and flatbed trailers haul skid steers and tractors between sites. Route history logs every stop, and movement alerts cover parked nights.
RV Owners
Travel trailers and toy haulers sit in storage lots for months. Low power mode keeps watch all season without a trip to recharge.
Construction Companies
Cargo trailers full of tools and generators stay on job sites overnight. An instant alert on your phone beats finding an empty lot on Monday.
Rental Businesses
See where every rental trailer is and when one crosses a boundary. Route history settles billing questions about usage and where a trailer went.
Landscapers & Contractors
Enclosed trailers packed with mowers and trimmers move between properties all day. After hours movement alerts catch a theft from the yard.
BUSINESS BENEFITS
Do I Need a GPS Tracker for My Trailer?
Trailer Theft Recovery Needs Real Time Tracking
No one publishes a reliable national count of stolen trailers. The closest data comes from equipment, which trailers resemble. The last national NER and NICB report found only 21% of stolen heavy equipment was recovered.
Compare that with cars. NICB reports about 79% of vehicles stolen in 2025 were recovered. Cars carry titles and plates police can trace. Trailers and the tools inside are far harder to trace.
Speed changes the odds. NICB notes that recovery chances rise the faster a theft is reported. Real time tracking gives police a live location instead of a description.
Protect your investment. A loaded trailer can be worth thousands of dollars. The tracker costs $39.95. Some insurers also discount premiums for GPS tracking, so ask your agent. Pair the tracker with a coupler lock for layered security.

Trailer GPS Tracker FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Trailers Come With a GPS Tracker?
Most do not. Few cargo, utility or travel trailers leave the factory with a GPS tracking device. Owners add an aftermarket trailer GPS tracker instead. SpaceHawk mounts with a magnet, needs no wiring and sends your trailer's location to your phone.
How Long Does a Trailer GPS Tracker Battery Last?
SpaceHawk runs 1 to 3 weeks on updates between 3 seconds and 3 minutes. Low power mode stretches battery life up to 6 months. Real results depend on usage, signal strength, location, temperature and battery age. Cold, snowy winters drain any battery faster.
Are Trailer GPS Trackers Legal?
Yes, on a trailer you own. Putting a GPS tracker on your own trailer, vehicle or equipment is legal in the United States. Tracking property you do not own is different, and state laws vary. Check your state rules first.
Can a GPS Tracker Work Without Power?
Yes. A battery powered unit runs on an internal battery with no connection to the trailer.
SpaceHawk keeps sending location data and movement alerts while the trailer sits unhitched. Want constant power? The hardwire kit fits any 6 to 24V source.
What Is the Best GPS Tracker for Trailer Theft?
Look for a hidden GPS tracker with instant movement alerts, fast updates, IP67 sealing and a long low power mode. A strong magnet keeps installation easy. SpaceHawk checks every box, costs $39.95 and adds a lifetime warranty on defective devices.
Is SpaceHawk Waterproof Enough for a Trailer?
Yes. SpaceHawk carries an IP67 rating, so the case is dust-tight and handles 30 minutes under 1 meter of water. Rain, snow, mud and road spray pose no problem. Weatherproofing is critical on a trailer, since the tracker lives outside year round.
How Does SpaceHawk Help Recover a Stolen Trailer?
An instant alert tells you the trailer moved. Open the app and follow location updates as fast as every 3 seconds. Call police and give them the current location, not a description. For your own safety, let officers handle the asset recovery.
Where Should I Hide a GPS Tracker on a Trailer?
Pick a steel spot with a view of the sky through plastic, fiberglass or open air. Inside a frame rail or behind a plastic fender liner both work. Solid metal blocks GPS signals, so skip sealed steel boxes. A thief searching for a tracker checks the tongue first, so go deeper.
Does a Trailer GPS Tracker Need a Subscription?
Yes. Live tracking sends data over cellular networks, so each tracker needs an active service plan. SpaceHawk costs $19.95 month to month or $9.95 a month on a 2-year prepay. The SIM is included, with no roaming fees. Billing runs through your SpaceHawk account.
Do I Need to Hardwire the Tracker?
No. SpaceHawk is an easy install with no wiring and no tools. The internal magnet holds the unit on a steel spot in less than 60 seconds. Hardwiring is optional for trailers with a 12V battery, using the kit for any 6 to 24V power source.
Can I Track Multiple Trailers on One Account?
Yes. Every tracker links to one account and shows on one map. Name each unit, like Dry Van 12, to find the right trailer fast. Many small businesses start with one or two units. For five or more trailers, request a fleet quote.
Is an AirTag Enough to Track a Trailer?
Smart tags like AirTag rely on nearby Apple devices, so a trailer parked far from people can go dark.
AirTag has no geofence or movement alerts. Anti-stalking warnings can also tip off a thief with an iPhone. A trailer GPS tracker is the better solution, since the tracker reports over cellular networks with no phones nearby.
