Why the K8
A keypad handheld for forklifts, high racks and long shifts
The TVS K8 is an Android mobile computer with a physical keypad, for staff who key in data and scan through the shift. TVS lists it as the TVSE K8 Ultra-Rugged Android Mobile Computer, and its sheet names large warehouses, goods transport centres and factories as the places it is made for.
Physical keys for key-heavy work
Choose 29 or 38 front keys. Both versions add 2 side scan keys, a side push-to-talk key and 2 volume keys. The 4-inch touch screen also works with wet hands and in glove mode.
Scan high racks from a forklift
TVS rates the K8 for scanning up to 21.4 m, so a forklift driver can read shelf and goods barcodes from a distance. It reads 1D and 2D codes from 3.33 mil, with a motion tolerance of 8 m/s.
Sealed and drop-tested
IP68 sealing. Multiple drops to concrete from 1.5 m, or 1.8 m with the protective case, and 1,000 tumbles from 0.5 m. TVS rates it to work from -20 °C to 60 °C.
A large battery for long shifts
The 3.85 V, 6,700 mAh battery is detachable, with backup-battery support. It charges over Type-C or the pin port, with 9 V/2 A or 5 V/3 A fast charging.
One-button voice on a noisy floor
TVS lists one-button push-to-talk calls as an optional function. A high-power speaker and a built-in dual noise-canceling microphone carry the call. Tell us if you need push-to-talk, and we confirm it in the quotation.
Connected and ready for your apps
Dual nano-SIM 4G, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and NFC within 60 mm. A Wi-Fi-only version has no SIM or mobile network. Developers get TVS's iScan API and Device API on standard Android.
These are the points buyers in India ask us about the K8. Mention the ones that apply to you when you request a quote.
Made in India
TVS Electronics describes its enterprise range as Made in India.
Check your SIM provider's bands first
Check that your SIM provider's bands are in TVS's list. TVS's sheet labels its list a Chinese and Eurasian version: 4G FDD-LTE B1, B3, B5, B7, B8, B20 and TDD-LTE B34, B38, B39, B40, B41. We confirm the bands of the unit we quote in the quotation.
Keep chargers out of the cold
Charge the K8 at room temperature. TVS rates it to work from -20 °C to 60 °C and says not to charge it at low temperature. For freezers and cold-chain warehouses, ask about the K8 Cold.
Test your apps on Android 12
Test your apps on Android 12 before rollout. TVS's sheet says the K8 can run upgraded systems later but names no version, so ask us what TVS confirms for the units you order.
Tell us the keypad and radio version
Tell us your version when you ask for a quote: 29 keys or 38 keys, and 4G with SIM or Wi-Fi only. We confirm the exact configuration in the quotation.

Questions buyers ask
K8 FAQ
What is the price of the TVS K8 in India?
The K8 price depends on the accessories (cradles, spare batteries) and the quantity. We do not publish prices: share the model, quantity and city, and we send a written quotation with current pricing and
delivery time, replying within one working day.
How many keys does the TVS K8 have?
TVS makes two versions: version A has 29 front keys and version B has 38. Both add 2 side scan keys, a side push-to-talk key and 2 side volume keys, along with a 4-inch touch screen. Tell us which key layout your screens need, and we confirm the version in your quotation.
How far can the K8 scan?
TVS states scanning up to 21.4 m, so a forklift driver can read rack and goods barcodes from a distance. TVS's documents do not say which label size or scan engine that figure needs. Send us your rack label details, and we confirm the reading distance for your labels in the quotation.
Will the K8 work with SAP or our warehouse software?
TVS's product category page says its mobile computers connect with SAP, Oracle and warehouse management systems, but it does not name the K8. Name your SAP screens or warehouse app when you enquire, and we confirm the fit for the K8 in your quotation. Allmark can also connect it to your software.
Can the K8 be used in a cold room?
TVS rates the K8 to work from -20 °C to 60 °C and says not to charge it at low temperature, so keep chargers at room temperature. For freezers and cold-chain warehouses, TVS lists a separate K8 Cold version. Tell us your room temperature, and we recommend one in the quotation.
Can we change the battery during a shift?
The 6,700 mAh battery is detachable, and TVS lists backup-battery support. TVS's K8 documents do not use the words hot swap, so ask us before you plan changes around a running app. TVS's optional 4-slot battery charging cradle charges four spare batteries at the same time.
Is there a Wi-Fi-only K8?
Yes. TVS lists a Wi-Fi-only version with no SIM and no mobile network. The other version takes two nano-SIMs and does not support eSIM. Both have dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. Tell us whether your staff work only inside your Wi-Fi coverage, and we quote the right one.
Can Allmark install the K8 and connect it to our software?
Yes. We install the K8 at your site, connect it to your ERP, warehouse or billing software (our own warehouse management system included) and train your team. Tell us the software when you ask for a quote, and we include the setup in the quotation.
