EM6000Auto to Debut at MATS 2026 as Advanced Cargo Theft Prevention Solution

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.
