Rugged touch computer: Janam Technologies LLC, a provider of rugged mobile computers that scan bar codes and communicate wirelessly, has launched the ultra-rugged, ultra-compact XT2

touch computer. Designed for use in challenging environments, the new XT2 is a rugged mobile computer engineered to provide maximum uptime, reliability, and accuracy.

As the lightest and most rugged device in its class, the Android-powered XT2 is equipped with the latest technological advancements to enable mobile workers in field service, direct store delivery, retail, and transportation and logistics to do their jobs more effectively and efficiently.

The XT2 rugged mobile computer is the only device in its class to run the Android 5 Lollipop operating system and is certified by Google to support all Google APIs, including Google Play.

Weighing only 10 ounces and featuring a five-inch touchscreen strengthened with Corning Gorilla Glass 3, the XT2 provides maximum durability and an optimized balance between screen viewability and device weight and size. In order to help mobile workers save time and make better-informed decisions in the field, the XT2 offers dual-band 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and 4G LTE connectivity for on-the-go access to business-critical information.

The XT2 can withstand 5-foot/1.5-meter drops to concrete on all sides across a wide temperature range per MIL-STD 810G standards, the manufacturer says. It is sealed to IP67 standards to provide protection from dust and survive immersion in up to three feet of water. (Janam Technologies LLC, www.janam.com)

Box trucks: Akro-Mils has introduced new steel box trucks with counterbalanced gas springs. Designed to enhance ergonomics and safety, the trucks’ gas springs allow the steel lid to lift easily and not fall back down. The box trucks, which come in four sizes, are also available with a chain closure option. Lids accommodate padlocks for added security.

Akro-Mils’ all-welded steel box trucks are ideal for frequent loading and unloading of parts, supplies, or scrap, according to the company. The trucks are powder-coated for durability and corrosion resistance. Solid-sided trucks (interior dimensions: 30. 5 inches high by 24 inches deep) have 13-gauge steel sides and two-inch hemmed edges.
