Zebra CRD-TC56-UVCD1-01 Vehicle Charge/Comm Cradle
The CRD-TC56-UVCD1-01 is a vehicle-mount charge and communication cradle for Zebra TC51 and TC56 mobile computers. It solves the in-vehicle power and data problem for delivery vans, forklifts, and field-service trucks: the handheld drops into the cradle for a secure hold, continuous charging, and a wired communication link while the vehicle is running its route.
Compatibility
Built specifically for the Zebra TC51 and TC56 series mobile computers — this cradle is not a universal fit and should not be paired with other Zebra TC-family models or third-party devices. It pairs with the PWR-WUA5V12W0CN power supply for vehicle power input, so confirm that supply (or an equivalent Zebra-specified vehicle power source) is part of the install before ordering.
Installation Notes
The cradle uses a wired interface for both charge and data, so route a fixed cable run from the cradle to the vehicle's power source rather than relying on a loose adapter — this keeps the connection stable over rough terrain and repeated dock/undock cycles common in delivery and warehouse-yard vehicles. Because it's a fixed vehicle cradle rather than a handheld dock, plan the mounting location for driver reach and sightline before drilling: TC51/TC56 field crews typically mount near the dash or a console arm so the screen stays visible without blocking controls.
Backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty, matching standard coverage on Zebra's mobile computing accessories.
