The EM6000Auto addresses two persistent operational challenges in commercial trucking: repetitive strain injuries caused by manual trailer coupling procedures, and the growing threat of cargo theft. Trinetra Guard CEO Ratan Baid will deliver a live demonstration during the MATS ProTalks session at the East Hall – ProTalks Stage on March 27 at 10:10 AM.

"Manual landing gear cranking has been part of trucking for decades, but it places unnecessary strain on drivers," said Ratan Baid, CEO of Trinetra Guard. "Automation can remove that physical burden while improving operational efficiency."

A Hidden Injury Risk Facing Truck Drivers

Drivers who regularly couple and uncouple trailers perform manual landing gear cranking dozens of times per week. Over time, this repetitive motion contributes to musculoskeletal injuries that affect both individual drivers and fleet operations:

• Shoulder injuries
• Lower back strain
• Wrist and elbow stress injuries
• Fatigue-related incidents

These conditions drive workers' compensation claims and lost productivity—compounding the challenges already facing fleets in a tight driver market.

EM6000Auto: Automated Landing Gear Lift

The EM6000Auto allows drivers to raise and lower trailer landing gear without manual cranking, improving ergonomics and reducing coupling time. Key platform features include:

• Reduced Physical Strain: Eliminates the repetitive cranking motion associated with driver injury
• Faster Coupling and Uncoupling: Streamlines trailer procedures and improves operational efficiency
• Lower Injury Risk: Reduces musculoskeletal strain and fatigue-related incidents
• Workers' Compensation Impact: Potential reduction in injury-related claims and associated fleet costs
• Driver Retention Support: Technologies that reduce physical demands may contribute to long-term driver satisfaction

Integrated Cargo Security

Beyond driver safety, the EM6000Auto incorporates hardened landing gear security that automatically locks the trailer to prevent unauthorized movement. Only authorized personnel can release the system using secure access methods:

• Mobile Phone Authentication
• RFID Credentials
• One-Time Passcode (OTP) Keypad Entry
• Remote Portal Authorization

The device is visibly mounted on the landing gear and constructed with a hardened structure that resists removal without heavy-duty cutting equipment—serving as both a physical deterrent and a practical barrier against cargo theft.

"Technology should not only protect cargo—it should protect drivers as well," Baid said. "By automating landing gear and securing trailers, fleets can improve safety, efficiency, and risk management."

MATS 2026 ProTalk Session

Baid will present the EM6000Auto during a dedicated ProTalk session at the Mid-America Trucking Show, one of the largest commercial trucking industry gatherings in North America. Fleet operators, safety managers, insurers, and fleet technology professionals attending MATS are encouraged to attend. Private meetings and product demonstrations can also be scheduled during the show.
