Customer-owned Tracker

Your own tracking device on our flights - for even more precise tracking

Track it yourself: customer-owned Tracker

A solid foundation for optimizing your entire supply chain. On most Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cargo flights, you can track your shipment from approved manufacturers with your own tracking device – and so benefit from even more precise delivery monitoring data.

 

Your benefits at a glance

  • No further costs after purchase of the tracking devices
  • Detailed information about your shipment
  • More advantages depending on the device, such as theft protection or humidity monitoring

 

This is how easy shipment tracking works

  • Status information from CiQ (formerly C2K) creates detailed tracking data
  • Tracking made easy: customer-owned Tracker guideline
  • If you would like to have a cargo tracking device evaluated for the use on our aircrafts, please use this document and proceed as described there.
  • Non-intentionally transmitting devices powered by coin cells are per EASA AIR OPS GM1 CAT.GEN.MPA.140 (b) in a switched-off status – and are therefore permitted for usage on LH / LCAG Fleet without further assessment

Regulations for trackers with lithium-ion batteries

All tracking devices with lithium-ion batteries must meet the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations.

A shipment does not have to be declared as a Lithium Battery shipment if each tracker does not exceed 2 batteries or 4 cells, as per Section II regulations. If any tracker in the shipment exceeds these limits, the shipment must be declared as ELI/ELM on the Master Airwaybill (MAWB).

A DGD is not required for customer-owned trackers, as long as they comply with the regulations for lithium batteries (not exceeding 0.3 grams of lithium content and 2.7 watt-hours).
