The Perfect Solution For Your Mobile Office: Vehicle Mounts!

The use of mobile computers is becoming increasingly widespread as more and more professionals use their vehicles as a mobile office. Many industries such as: law enforcement, agriculture, fire and emergency medical services, public transportation, commercial delivery, public utilities and heavy duty trucking utilize their vehicle as a "mobile office" causing great concern for safety. Mobile computers should never be used while driving a vehicle, something we are all aware of, however, do not always put into practice. What can you do to create a safe environment for mobile computing? Install a vehicle mount for your rugged mobile computer! A vehicle mount is a must have if you are driving with your computer in the vehicle, and the selection of vehicle mounting systems Group Mobile carries makes it easy to choose the correct mounting solution for your specific needs.

Every year over 130,000 people are hurt by flying objects inside vehicles, not just during an accident but during sudden stops, turns and unexpected maneuvers. Your computer, or your employee's computer, becomes a very dangerous object at unexpected times. The computer itself can also be damaged, causing down time and potentially costly repairs. The locking mechanism inside of docking stations keep your mobile computer securely locked, and even strengthens as force is applied in a crash.

Ergonomics and ease of use are additional reasons to install a vehicle computer mount. Having the vehicle computer in a comfortable and easy to reach position reduces back and eye strain as well as increases productivity. If you use a mobile printer, it can also be mounted keeping everything safe, within reach, and in a professional looking set up. If drilling into your vehicle is a concern, purchasing a no-drill mount is a perfect solution!  No-drill mobile computer mounts are designed for almost any truck, fleet vehicle, car, van and big rig on the road, best of all, you won't need to drill holes in your floorboard to install, they're designed to attach to the existing hardware of the passenger side seat rails.

Group Mobile offers a wide selection of mounting options to choose from. We carry the top brands, including Gamber-JohnsonRAM, and Havis. There are also computer specific cradles and docking stations available for many computer brands and models. These cradles and docking stations offer custom fit for your computer as well as port replication with some offering antenna pass-through to increase wireless reception. Whether mounting your computer in your car, truck, van or boat, we have the mounting system you need.

Visit the Group Mobile Vehicle Mount Store to find a mount to fit your vehicle, or fill out the Vehicle Mount Questionnaire and we will contact you with a custom solution to meet your needs.
