Zebra ET60 / ET65 / ET60W / ET65W

The Zebra ET6x series are ultra-rugged 10-inch tablets for forklifts, cold stores, yards and field work. ET60 and ET65 run Android, ET60W and ET65W run Windows 11, and the ET65 and ET65W add a 5G modem. All four models share the same dimensions, display and sealing and use the same forklift dock and keyboards, so tablets with both operating systems can work in one fleet. The Android versions replace the L10 Android tablets, and the Windows versions replace the ET80 and the L10 Windows models.

Key features

• 10.1-inch WUXGA display with 1000 nits, Gorilla Glass: readable in full sunlight in the yard and under strong hall lighting, and usable with gloves.
• IP66 and 1.5 m drops to concrete: the tablet withstands water jets, dust and a drop from a forklift, and can be hosed down when dirty.
• Locking forklift dock: locked in the dock, the tablet works as a vehicle-mounted computer. The dock is IP66 sealed and has heated contacts plus 2 USB-A ports and RS232 for peripherals such as a scanner or keyboard. Undocked, the same tablet is used for inspections.
• Runs on forklift power, without a battery: the manufacturer designed the Android versions to be powered from the vehicle, which removes the need to buy and replace batteries. A super capacitor then keeps the tablet running for about 5 minutes, depending on conditions. A battery housing without cells for fixed-mount installations is available for both versions.
• Hot-swappable batteries: a super capacitor keeps power during the swap. On the Android versions the 8920 mAh battery gives 10 hours of work according to the manufacturer, and the 17,840 mAh battery 20 hours (indoors, Wi-Fi on, 50% backlight). The Windows versions use 36 or 72 Wh batteries.
• ET60 with a heated display for freezers: the touch panel is heated when locked in the vehicle dock, so it does not fog up when moving between temperature zones. This version is rated for condensing humidity.
• Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7, plus 5G on the ET65 and ET65W: the modem with nano SIM and eSIM works on public and private networks, and GPS reports position across a wide yard. On the ET65 the modem is data only.
• Optional SE55 scan engine and external scanners: the built-in SE55 reads barcodes from up to 12 m according to the manufacturer, and actual range depends on the label and lighting. You can also connect a scanner over USB or Bluetooth, and on the Android versions the rear camera reads barcodes as well.

How to choose a variant

• Operating system. The Android versions are meant for mobile apps such as HDF WMS. Choose the ET60W and ET65W when desktop Windows software must run on the tablet.
• Connectivity. The ET60 and ET60W are enough within company Wi-Fi. Choose the ET65 and ET65W for yards, ports and field work.
• Battery. The standard battery covers a shift, the extended one covers multi-shift work. Variants without a battery are meant for permanent forklift mounting. On the Android versions the battery also sets the temperature range: with the extended battery or without a battery the tablet operates from −30°C.
• Freezer. Choose the ET60 with a heated display. It is sold without a battery and runs on forklift power through the vehicle dock.
• Scanner. The built-in SE55 helps when the operator scans rack labels without leaving the forklift. For occasional scanning the camera or an external scanner is enough.
• Windows configuration. Options include Core Ultra 5 and 7 processors, also with vPro, 8 to 32 GB of memory and an optional fingerprint reader in the power button.

The manufacturer covers the tablets with a 3-year warranty.
