Handsfree Group supply D.I.Y fit portable charging cradles and mounting plates to cover peak delivery season
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Yes, you’ve got it, Christmas. It is also one of the busiest times of the year for one of Handsfree Group’s most prestigious and valued customers. Being one of the UK’s leading delivery companies, Christmas is their peak season. In order to meet customer demand, they employ thousands of peak delivery drivers UK wide, hire vehicles for each of those drivers and provide essential equipment to enable the drivers to make the deliveries efficiently, successfully and most importantly, in time for Christmas.
Handheld PDA
The essential equipment is, of course, the handheld PDA. Then the question arises – how to keep those PDA’s charged and secure without installing a permanent cradle?
Therefore, due to the vehicles being on hire, the need for 1500+ temporary charging cradles arose. The main requirement was that the cradles could be easily installed by the customer.
The TECh
Handsfree Group’s solution was the TECh CN70 Charging Cradle and Zirkona windscreen suction mount.
TECh CN70 Charging Cradle
A durable charging and securing solution for the drivers’ handheld PDA’s – the most important tool of the job. The CN70 charging cradle, designed and manufactured by TECh, was the ideal choice.
The CN70 cradle boasts LED Power Indicator, so the driver is assured their PDA is charging, an internal voltage clamp which prevents over-voltage to the device and an internal voltage regulator which ensures consistent output voltages.
Each CN70 mounting screw fastens into a precision brass bolt and is fixed during injection moulding for maximum strength. The six locating bolts mount to the supplied backplate which then attaches securely to a steel chassis for a rigid and accurate fit.
A locating ’pin’ ensures the device cannot be inserted incorrectly and multiple security bolts provide added strength. The CN70 internal auto-reset switch prevents any risk of a short-circuit across pins and the tamper-proof screws, with anti-vibrate and shake-proof washers, ensure the device remains secure when the vehicle is in motion.
Zirkona Windscreen Suction Mount with Diamond Mounting Plate
Fulfilling the main requirement of a self-fit cradle, the Diamond Mounting Plate is simply fitted to the vehicle using a suction cup which attaches to the vehicle’s windscreen.
The CN70 charging cradle is securely fixed to the Diamond Mounting bracket using the backplate supplied with the cradle.
