It’s worth noting that the ET60 is truly ready for forklift mounting… Zebra has developed mounts and connectors which will stand up to the rigors of forklift motion. This means that the ET60 can be a replacement for more expensive and complex VMU’s (vehicle-mounted computers).

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About Zebra ET6x Tablets
Q: What is the Zebra ET6x Series, and which models does it include?
A. The ET6x Series is Zebra’s line of 10.1-inch rugged enterprise tablets, available in Android (ET60/ET65) or Windows 11 (ET60W/ET65W). The ET60 models are Wi-Fi only. The ET65 models add 5G, including support for private 5G and CBRS networks. Both versions use most of the same accessories, so a site can run Android and Windows devices side by side without buying two sets of docks, keyboards and handles.
Q: Will the ET6x hold up on a busy warehouse floor or in cold storage?
A. Yes. Every model survives 5-foot drops to concrete, which exceeds the MIL-STD-810H standard, and has an IP66 rating against dust and water. The Android models run from -4°F with the standard battery and down to -22°F with the extended battery, so they’re a good fit for freezers and cold docks. The 1,000-nit Gorilla Glass display stays readable in bright light and works with gloves and wet hands.
Q: Can one battery last a full shift, including double shifts?
A. On the Android models, the standard battery gives about 10 hours and the extended battery about 20. The batteries are hot-swappable: a built-in super capacitor keeps the tablet running while you change batteries, so workers don’t have to reboot or lose data mid-task. Batteries charge over USB-C in about 2.5 hours (standard) or 5.5 hours (extended).
Q: How does the ET6x fit into forklift, receiving and data-entry workflows?
A. The tablet works in several setups with the right accessories:
Forklifts and material handling: a vehicle dock with a heated touch panel and keyboard option for cold environments.
Stationary data entry: a warehouse keyboard and tray.
Office and laptop-style work: a keyboard with a friction hinge that turns it into a 2-in-1 laptop.
Walking work: an extendable handle for easier carrying.
For scanning, you can add the optional SE55 Advanced Range scan engine, which reads 1D/2D barcodes from up to 40 feet away (useful for high rack locations). The 16 MP camera can also scan barcodes and read license plates, VINs and documents.
Q: What makes the ET6x a sound long-term investment for IT and operations?
A. The ET6x is designed to lower total cost of ownership by making devices easier to manage over their lifespan. Zebra’s Mobility DNA and DNA tools help IT set up, manage and secure devices at scale. On Android, LifeGuard provides regular security patches. Connectivity is built to last, with Wi-Fi 6E on Android and Wi-Fi 7 on Windows. The Windows models use Intel Core Ultra processors with AI features, such as noise-suppressing audio and a touchscreen that adjusts itself to how it’s being used. Zebra includes a 3-year standard warranty and offers extended service options.
