Holman Powers Wireless Asset Tracking with Golden Lab’s Smart Solar Trailers.

Written By Julia Blake

Client Case Study

How a fleet management leader solved power, height, and mobility challenges at remote sites while cutting costs by 60%.

Client: Holman

Industry: Fleet Management, Logistics

Use Case: Asset Tracking & Remote Site Infrastructure

Solution: Smart Solar Trailers Outfitted with Asset Tracking Technology



The Challenge: Remote locations. No power. No vertical infrastructure.

Holman is rolling out a new asset tracking system to monitor fleet assets across multiple sites. The system uses wireless gateways and antennas to communicate with tracking tags on vehicles. Holman was facing the inability to deploy their asset tracking solution across multiple sites due to the lack of vertical infrastructure and power.

At two of Holman’s O’Fallon, MO locations, they ran into critical obstacles:

  • No access to AC power

  • No rooftops or poles for antenna mounting

  • Short-term leases made permanent builds impractical

  • Standard installation would have required costly construction of towers and electrical service

They needed a mobile, flexible, and fully powered solution—fast. That’s where we came in with a cost-saving and quick solution: Golden Lab’s solar powered trailers.


 

“We needed a mobile power solution that could also serve as the installation point for our asset tracking system. The Golden Lab Solar Trailer exceeded expectations—delivering reliable, continuous power and giving us the vertical advantage of a 30-foot mast for our antenna deployment.”
 — Greg Brill, Holman

 
 
 

The Solution: Golden Lab’s Smart Solar Trailers with 30-Foot Masts

Golden Lab Technologies delivered two fully-equipped solar trailers—one for each remote site—engineered with:

  • Off-grid solar power with hybrid backup

  • Wireless gateway & antenna mounting

  • 30-foot vertical mast for signal reach

  • Mobility for future redeployment

  • No need for trenching, towers, or permanent installs

 
 
 
 

The Strategic Advantage

This wasn’t just a power problem—it was a connectivity and deployment challenge. Holman needed a plug-and-play platform to host critical wireless infrastructure in areas without utilities or structures, and they needed the option to relocate at a moment’s notice.

“At Golden Lab Technologies, we prioritize listening to our customers and delivering solutions that fit their unique needs. When Holman required a wireless deployment solution at two of their remote lots lacking both power and vertical infrastructure, we provided a mobile solar trailer equipped with a 30-foot mast—delivering reliable, continuous power and wireless coverage across each site.”
 — Jason Hawley, Founder & President, Golden Lab Technologies

 
 

The Outcome: Golden Lab’s Smart Solar Trailers with 30-Foot Masts

  • Holman avoided tens of thousands in construction costs

  • Our Solar Trailers deployed within days, not months

  • Flexible solutions can move with their lease agreements

  • Future-proof platform supports additional sensors and surveillance

  • Ongoing cost savings of up to $1,848/month per unit, compared to a fuel-based light tower

 

Looking Ahead

Golden Lab’s solar trailers aren’t just solving today’s needs—they’re enabling scalable, secure, and mobile infrastructure for Holman’s future. As Holman continues to expand its tracking system, Golden Lab remains their trusted partner for energy, security, and connectivity—delivered.
