No. 01Your world

Truck yards and logistics depots buy or lease mobile camera trailers, patrol robots, and inspection drones from Service Robot Co. A solar-powered trailer watches gates, fence lines, and trailer rows around the clock, and a drone covers the yard from above, with no site power needed. We deliver, set up, and service it, across all 50 US states.

No. 02The shift

The night shift in your yard

Cargo theft works the overnight window. Here is how the yard stays covered.

  1. Stage 01

    Last dispatch

    The final trucks roll and the gates close on a full yard.

    What the robot takes

    The camera trailer takes over the watch, mast up over the rows.

  2. Stage 02

    Gates after dark

    Trailers, fuel, and cargo sit in the open all night.

    What the robot takes

    Cameras cover the fence lines and every row at once.

  3. Stage 03

    An alert

    Movement at the fence line starts the clock.

    What the robot takes

    Deterrents fire on site and the event is captured for response.

  4. Stage 04

    The overnight rows

    One guard on foot cannot see a full yard.

    What the robot takes

    The trailer holds the whole picture from one mast.

  5. Stage 05

    First trucks out

    Dispatch resumes at dawn with the yard intact.

    What the robot takes

    The unit recharges on solar. When the yard moves, it moves too.

Field notes

Cited industry data · no house numbers

$10k+

Average cost of a break-in across theft, vandalism, and property damage at commercial sites. High-value sites routinely see far larger single-incident losses.

Industry data

12 min

Average law-enforcement response time to a property-crime call in the US runs 11-14 minutes. On-site deterrents intervene in seconds, before the loss happens.

FBI crime data

$60k+

Annual cost of one overnight security guard, fully loaded with wages and benefits. A camera trailer covers more ground than one pair of eyes.

What decides whether it works.

The things we check on a walkthrough, before anyone talks about robots.

    The rows

    One mast has to hold every trailer row in frame. Placement is the whole game.

    The bare lot

    Solar and cellular mean a gravel overflow yard works the day the trailer arrives.

    The moves

    Yards shift with leases and seasons. The unit relocates as the exposure does.

The work that eats the week

The repetitive, physical, hard-to-staff ground in truck yards & logistics depots. This is what a robot takes.

  • Trailers, fuel, and cargo sit in the open all night, and cargo theft keeps climbing.
  • One guard cannot see every row, and staffing a yard around the clock costs more than the coverage it buys.
  • Yards move. A leased overflow lot needs security this month, not after a construction project.
No. 06The cost picture

Buy it, or lease it.

Move the trailer as the yard changes. It brings its own power and connectivity, sets up in under an hour, and we service it nationwide.

No. It runs on solar and battery with built-in cellular, so a bare gravel lot is fine.
