Zebra RFD40-M Premium Plus UHF RFID Sled

Track inventory faster and more accurately with the RFD40-M Premium Plus Sled, an RFID reader that captures 1,300+ tags per second and reaches up to 24 m (80 ft). Snap directly into current and future Zebra mobile computers with eConnex™ technology, or connect wirelessly via Bluetooth 5.3 to smartphones and tablets. The integrated SE4100 barcode scanner handles damaged, dirty, and low-contrast codes without slowing your team down. A tri-function trigger lets associates switch instantly between RFID reading, barcode scanning, and a programmable third function like push-to-talk. The 7,000 mAh PowerPrecision+ battery and quick-release design keep operations moving through every shift.

Future-proof your workflow with industry-first Wi-Fi 6 for easy over-the-air device management and NFC tap-to-pair setup. Tool-free adaptors swap out in seconds as you upgrade devices, while batch mode stores up to 40,000 tags when connectivity drops. Built to survive 1.5 m (5 ft) drops to concrete, 500-cycle tumbles, and IP54-rated dust and water exposure, the sled handles demanding retail, healthcare, and hospitality environments. Charge the sled and mobile computer together or separately with flexible cradle solutions that simplify deployment across your entire operation.

Note: Compatible mobile computer and device mount not included and must be purchased separately. Contact us for details.
