Asset tracking, light and cameras for vehicle lots with no power.
Golden Lab rents solar-powered trailers that put RTLS gateways, Wi-Fi/5G, cameras and LED floodlights on a telescoping mast above your lot. The rental is one flat monthly rate with no additional fuel cost.
Holman, a national fleet services company, uses Golden Lab trailers for asset tracking on unpowered lots in O’Fallon, Missouri, with a published 60 percent cost reduction versus diesel light towers.
The problem
The lot has vehicles to track and nothing to power the tracking
Tracking gateways need power, height and a network connection. Most vehicle lots have none of the three, and a short lease makes running permanent power hard to justify.
The usual stopgap is a diesel light tower. It lights the lot, but it carries no network and it needs regular fuel deliveries.
Industry figure, not a Golden Lab measurement: a diesel light tower burns about 0.75 gallons an hour, which is about 270 gallons a month at 12 hours a night for 30 nights (Pro Contractor Rentals). Actual burn varies by model and load.
