Piccolo Hybrid+ UK
Piccolo Hybrid IoT
A dual mode GPS Trailer Tracker Device Designed Specifically For Trailer Tracking.
*Available on CATM1/NB1 Networks Worldwide
with fallback to 2g
The dual mode, 5 year battery life, plug and play GPS trailer tracker device is packaged in an ultra-rugged IP67 waterproof enclosure with integrated GPS and cellular antennas, available on 4G CATM1/NB1 networks worldwide with fallback to 2G. With over the air configuration, SMS alarms on unauthorized vibrations and auto alerts when external power is disconnected/connected to trailer, this is the very best trailer GPS tracker and is excellent for all types of trailers and refrigerated trailers.
The Piccolo Hybrid Dual Mode will switch automatically from real-time tracking mode to asset tracking mode when external power is disconnected, providing comprehensive visibility for trailers parked at job sites waiting to be unloaded and reloaded.
Comprehensive Trailer Visibility
Know when trailer is disconnected from the cabin and the ability to pair truck to trailer (which trailer is attached to which truck).
Zero Maintenance
Device recharges when the trailer is hooked up to a truck, removing maintenance and battery charging burdens.
Temperature Monitoring
For temperature controlled trailers, the Hybrid lets you monitor up to 6 different wired cold zones simultaneously or 50 wireless cold zones for maximum temperature monitoring and control.
How it works






When externally powered (tethered to the power of the trailer), the Piccolo Hybrid IoT operates in real-time vehicle tracking mode sending GPS in high frequency, for example every minute.
Once power is disconnected, the Piccolo Hybrid IoT automatically switches to Asset Tracking (AT) mode, sending an alert on trailer disconnect and providing complete visibility on the whereabouts of your trailer, sending a GPS check in 1/ day when parked (user-definable).
In AT Mode, once movement/vibration is detected, the Piccolo Hybrid IoT will automatically wake up, send an alert and will report more frequently for as long as the vibration continues. For example, every 30 minutes (user configurable).
The Piccolo Hybrid IoT can be supplied with a DC plug in place of the wire harness. With this configuration, the Piccolo Hybrid IoT serves as a standalone, autonomous container or asset tracker with a 5-year battery life or up to 5000 GPS on a single charge when powered by the internal 7800 mAH rechargeable lithium battery.
Upgraded to Lead Telematics into IoT
In addition to it’s trailer tracking functionality , various IoT BLE tags have been integrated with the Piccolo Hybrid IoT, enabling the device to act as an IoT Gateway, which is used to process and forward the IoT data to the server- for an all around connected fleet.

IoT Applications
