The Honeywell CT40, CT45, and CT60 aren't tiers of the same device — they're built for genuinely different jobs. Here's how to tell which one actually fits your use case.
| CT40 | CT45 | CT60 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Built for | Retail associates, highly mobile light-duty workers | Pocketable field & delivery use | Harsh industrial & warehouse environments |
| Form factor | Sleek, lightweight, full-touch | Compact, pocketable, dust/water-resistant | Rugged handheld |
| Durability | Standard enterprise-grade | 3,000 tumbles, 6 ft drops (8 ft with boot) | Built for harsh environments |
| Connectivity | Wi-Fi, 4G LTE | Wi-Fi, LTE | Anywhere/anytime rugged connectivity |
| Platform | Mobility Edge (5 Android generations) | Mobility Edge, FlexRange scan engine | Mobility Edge |
CT40: built for retail and light mobile work
The CT40 is a sleek, lightweight, full-touch device aimed at retail store associates and mobile workers who need quick access to business data — sales floor, backroom, or light delivery work, not heavy warehouse abuse.
CT45: pocketable but genuinely rugged
The CT45 splits the difference — small enough to carry in a pocket, but rated for 3,000 tumbles and multiple 6-foot drops to concrete (8 feet with the protective boot). Its FlexRange scan engine handles both close-range and longer-range scanning workflows.
CT60: built for harsh industrial environments
The CT60 is the rugged, industrial-grade option of the three, designed for warehouse and DC environments where uptime under real abuse matters more than pocketability.
We don't currently carry the CT40/CT45/CT60 line, but our Honeywell CK65, CK67, and CK62 inventory covers a comparable industrial rugged-handheld use case. Browse the mobile computers category for current availability.
We buy back used Honeywell equipment — working or not, any quantity. See Sell Honeywell Equipment.
