Gamber-Johnson Cradle for Zebra ET4X Enterprise Tablet

Unlock effortless vehicle deployments with the Gamber-Johnson Cradle, engineered to securely hold the Zebra ET4X enterprise tablet while preserving full access to its powerful features. This cradle blends rugged durability with simple, fast docking so drivers stay focused on the road and customers, not their devices. Whether you are in fleet management, field service, or retail delivery, this cradle keeps your tablet safe, charged, and ready to capture data in real-world conditions.

• Rugged and dependable design: The cradle uses robust materials and precision engineering to withstand daily bumps and temperature swings that come with on-the-road use, ensuring the ET4X stays firmly seated and protected from shock as you navigate potholes and speed bumps. Built to endure long shifts, frequent docking, and repetitive insertion/removal, it helps reduce wear on the tablet’s ports while maintaining a secure fit that you can rely on during every route.
• Fast docking and removal: With guided rails and secure locking latches, the ET4X docks quickly and releases with minimal effort—so drivers can spend less time fumbling with devices during stops and handoffs, and more time driving, delivering, or assisting customers. This streamlined workflow minimizes vehicle downtime and improves overall productivity, especially in high-volume environments.
• Preserves full device functionality: When docked, you maintain direct access to the ET4X's camera, barcode scanner, GPS, and touchscreen controls, enabling seamless data capture, photos, and field updates without removing the tablet from its cradle. The design ensures sensors and ports remain accessible, so your team can scan, capture signatures, or document deliveries on the go.
• Integrated power and cable management: The cradle offers power pass-through and tidy cable routing that keeps the vehicle interior organized and reduces the risk of unplugged devices. With reliable charging supported during long shifts, your tablet stays powered through peak times, so drivers never lose data or connectivity when it matters most.
• Flexible mounting options for fleets: Compatible with a wide range of Gamber-Johnson vehicle mounts—from dash to pedestal to overhead configurations—so you can outfit cars, vans, or trucks with a single, scalable cradle solution. The modular approach makes upgrades or reconfigurations straightforward as your fleet evolves, helping you maintain consistent performance across all vehicles.

How to install Gamber-Johnson Cradle

• Begin by confirming you have the correct Zebra ET4X model and the matching Gamber-Johnson cradle and mounting kit for your vehicle type. Gather all mounting hardware as specified by the installation guide.
• Prepare the vehicle mount by mounting it to a secure location in the vehicle—commonly on the dash, pillar, or overhead area—depending on your fleet’s workflow and safety guidelines. Tighten all mounting hardware to the manufacturer’s recommended torque to prevent movement while driving.
• Attach the cradle to the chosen vehicle mount using the designated interface and fasteners. Ensure the cradle sits level and aligns with the ET4X docking orientation so insertion and removal are smooth.
• Connect the cradle’s power data cables and routing to maintain clean cable management. Route cables away from airbags, pedals, and heating or cooling vents, and use cable ties or clips to minimize movement or snag hazards.
• Dock the Zebra ET4X into the cradle, guiding the device into place with the alignment rails. Once seated, engage any locking mechanism to secure the tablet. Power on the device and verify that the charging circuit activates and that the device powers up correctly while docked.
• Test functionality before putting the vehicle back into service: confirm camera and scanner operations, touchscreen responsiveness, and data capture integrity. Finally, verify easy removal of the ET4X for cases when a handheld device is required outside the vehicle.
