Impact & Condition Recorder for Generators

Industrial generators are mission-critical assets, and moving them safely is a logistical challenge. Their mass, center of gravity, and sensitivity to shock and tilt mean that hidden handling events during transport can cause misalignment, bearing damage, insulation stress, or moisture ingress—leading to costly failures and delays after arrival.

To mitigate transport risks, Mobitron offers the Cargolog® Impact & Shock Recorder—an advanced monitoring solution engineered to track how generators are handled throughout the entire logistics chain. By continuously measuring shock, vibration, tilt, temperature, humidity, and pressure, Cargolog® documents every movement and environmental change, giving logistics and engineering teams actionable evidence tied to time and location.

Key Features of Cargolog® Impact & Condition Recorder

Specialized Multi-Sensor Monitoring for Generator Integrity

Built for the realities of generator transport, Cargolog® continuously monitors shock (0.3–10 g), vibration, tilt/inclination, temperature (-40°C to +85°C), humidity (0–100%), and pressure. These parameters are vital for detecting excessive handling forces, resonance, and environmental fluctuations that could compromise a generator during road, rail, sea, or air transit.

Real-Time GPS Tracking and Impact Alerts

With GSM/LTE connectivity and built-in GPS, Cargolog® transmits impact data and geolocation in real time. Teams can see exactly where excessive forces occurred—ideal for transshipments, international routes, or any high-value delivery where visibility and accountability matter.

Flexible Installation for Critical Monitoring Points

Cargolog® supports multiple mounting strategies to match generator designs: the RH/temperature probe is routed inside the generator’s airflow, while the logger is mounted outside the housing (IP67). Additional loggers can be placed on the base frame or skid to capture shock/vibration at structural hot spots. This flexibility ensures accurate data at the locations that matter.

Complete monitoring solutions for every step of generator logistics

What We Do

Proven Expertise in Generator Transport

Mobitron brings decades of experience delivering monitoring solutions for heavy electrical equipment in transit. Our systems help ensure your generators are tracked, protected, and arrive in spec—from factory to site.

Reliable Real-Time Transport Monitoring

Using GPS, LTE, and high-precision sensors, Cargolog® provides live visibility into shocks, temperature changes, tilt events, and pressure variations—so you can intervene quickly and prevent hidden transport damage.

Rugged and Scalable

Cargolog® devices are built for harsh industrial and maritime environments and can be scaled across fleets, routes, and carriers. Whether mounted on a housing, skid, or transport frame, they deliver continuous logging to support global generator deliveries.

User-Friendly Cloud Platform

With Cargolog® Online/Connect, logistics and engineering teams access data, alerts, and reports from anywhere. This strengthens transparency, coordination, and accountability across the generator supply chain.

Product Recommendations

We use Cargolog® Impact Recorder System to check if all the partial shipments and transshipments have been handled safely.

How does it works

From Installation to Data-Driven Insights

Group 3

Installation & Setup

Before shipment, Cargolog® is configured with sampling intervals and alarm thresholds tailored to the generator and route. The device is then mounted on the generator or its transport structure and begins continuous recording to safeguard the shipment from pickup to delivery.
Group 4

Data Collection & Transmission

Data can be retrieved securely via USB-C after delivery or sent in real time via GSM/LTE to the cloud. In Cargolog® Connect, users manage fleets, visualize routes and events, and receive email/SMS alerts when thresholds are exceeded.

Installation Options

  • On generator housing – captures direct shocks/tilt affecting the unit. 
  • On base frame/skid/cradle – monitors structural loads during lifting and transport. 
  • Inside crate or packaging – tracks environmental conditions and handling within the protective enclosure. 
  • On transport frames – records stresses at key points (e.g., tie-downs, bolsters, and shock-critical nodes).
