Gamber Johnson Vehicle Mount Kit Ford Transit Connect 2010 2013 Pedestal

Engineered for reliability in demanding in-vehicle environments, the Gamber-Johnson Vehicle Mount Kit for Ford Transit Connect (2010-2013) delivers a secure, no-drill mounting solution that stands up to daily fleet use. This pedestal combines two purpose-built components—the Vehicle Base (7160-0245) and the Lower Tube (DS-LOWER-9)—to create a rugged, versatile backbone for docking heads and devices from Gamber-Johnson and compatible partners. Designed to minimize downtime and maximize driver productivity, this mounting solution preserves seat integrity while enabling fast deployment across multiple vehicles, making it ideal for fleet operations, field service, and transportation environments where reliability is non-negotiable.

The Vehicle Base attaches directly to the passenger-side seat studs, eliminating the need for any interior drilling or permanent modification. Built from heavy-gauge steel with a durable protective finish, the base provides dependable strength and precise alignment with the Lower Tube and docking heads. Its robust construction resists bending, flex, and corrosion, delivering stable, repeatable mounting geometry that reduces wobble and vibration—key factors in maintaining device performance during long shifts and on rough roads.

The Lower Tube DS-LOWER-9 is engineered to deliver essential vertical clearance over the center console. This slim, purpose-built profile preserves cabin space for passengers and gear while ensuring effortless access to device ports and controls. By creating a rigid, monolithic mounting column when combined with the Vehicle Base, the system maintains alignment under torque, vehicle movement, and vibration. The result is a secure, ergonomic mounting solution that keeps tablets, docking heads, and other devices firmly in place from dawn to night shift.

Together, these components form a rugged, versatile backbone that supports a broad range of docking heads and compatible device mounts. The modular design accommodates tablets, docking heads, and other devices commonly used in fleet operations, field service, and transportation environments. With no-drill installation, drivers can operate with confidence, knowing their equipment is secured without compromising interior aesthetics or resale value. The Gamber-Johnson pedestal is built to withstand daily wear, resist vibration, and maintain performance across varied conditions, ensuring downtime is minimized and productivity remains high.

• No-Drill Installation and Long-Term Durability: The Vehicle Base mounts securely to existing passenger-side seat studs, avoiding interior modifications and speeding deployment across multiple vehicles. The heavy-gauge steel construction and protective finish are designed to endure daily use, resist corrosion, and maintain precise alignment over time, delivering reliable, repeatable performance.
• Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction with Protective Finish: Built for the rigors of professional use, the base and tubing resist bending and wear, providing a solid foundation for docking heads and devices while preserving the vehicle’s interior aesthetics and resale value.
• Center Console Clearance and Ergonomic Access: The DS-LOWER-9 tube provides essential vertical clearance over the center console, ensuring comfortable driver access to controls and ports without obstruction, even on extended shifts.
• Versatile Docking Compatibility: This mount is designed to work with a broad range of Gamber-Johnson docking heads and compatible device mounts, offering flexibility to upgrade or swap devices as mission needs evolve.
• Modular Mounting Column for Tablets and Devices: The modular design supports tablets, docking heads, and compatible devices, enabling fleets to standardize on a single mounting platform while accommodating diverse equipment needs.
