Alanco Technologies Inc’s StarTrak Systems subsidiary has entered into a long-term agreement with PLM Trailer Leasing (PLM) for the purchase of ReeferTrak monitoring and control systems, with initial product deliveries expected to exceed $1 million.

Montvale NJ-based PLM, a lessor of refrigerated equipment including trailers and storage containers, has committed to equip each of its newly purchased reefer units with a ReeferTrak system, as well as offering a retrofit ReeferTrak system to existing customers. It will provide this new wireless monitoring and control capability to its base of cold supply chain customers as part of Cold Link, PLM’s refrigerated service program.

PLM can now offer the full capabilities of StarTrak’s reefer wireless monitoring and control service for a relatively small additional monthly fee, while relieving PLM customers of the initial ReeferTrak capital investment and deployment responsibilities. ReeferTrak also provides PLM with critical unit information to facilitate fleet management, including GPS location and geofencing, engine hours, and mileage reports.
