RAM Mounts GDS Holder (Key-Locking) for Zebra TC73/78

RAM Mounts GDS Holder (Key-Locking) for Zebra TC73/TC78

If your team uses Zebra TC73 or TC78 handhelds on the shop floor, in a stockroom, or at a workshop bench, this RAM Mounts GDS holder gives each device a fixed home that charges it and keeps it there until *you* decide to move it. No loose cables on the counter, no device that walks off between shifts.

Charges automatically — no separate cable needed

The holder connects to power through a USB-C port. Place the device in the dock and charging starts straight away. There is nothing extra to plug in each time, which means the handheld is ready to go whenever someone picks it up.

Spring-loaded cradle holds the device securely

To dock the device, pull the upper part of the cradle upward, lower the handheld in, and release. The spring-loaded mechanism clamps the device firmly in place. It will not rattle loose during a busy day, and staff do not need to fuss with it — one motion in, one motion out.

Key lock stops unauthorised removal

The built-in key lock means the device cannot be lifted out without a key. In a shared space — a stockroom with multiple staff, a retail counter, a service workshop — that one detail removes a common source of lost or misplaced handhelds.

Scanner and buttons stay accessible

Even with the device locked in the dock, the top-mounted scanner and all physical buttons remain fully exposed and usable. Staff can scan barcodes, take calls, or navigate the device without removing it from the cradle. Work carries on without interruption.

Fits standard and extended battery packs

The back of the holder is sized to accommodate both the standard Zebra battery and the extended battery pack, so you are not forced to swap to a slimmer battery just to use the dock. The Zebra hand strap also fits without any modification.

Ready for a wide range of mounting setups

The rear of the holder is prepared for a diamond ball base, which lets you attach it to RAM Mounts arm and pole systems, vehicle mounts, and similar rigs. The ball base itself is not included — get in touch with Vaivatta and we will help you find the right combination for your setup.
