TrioCom has teamed up with Gamber-Johnson, the manufacturer of this desk, to bring to the market the Mongoose. This desk features years of refinement, and comes with the nicest top in the industry. This features an all aluminum adjustable locking top. Each side clip and front and rear clips are adjustable, for placement side to side, and height.

This allows you to fit any laptop in this top, no matter the depth, and also leave ports open on the sides for access. There are no cables to scratch and get in the way, it does not mark your computer, it slides open like a dream, and LOCKS.

The Mongoose has an adjustable tilting and rotating clevis underneath for optimal placement when you are working on the computer, you can angle it just the way you like, and rotate it around so that you can always find the best spot for ergonomic computing.

The Mongoose features a very easy to secure locking mechanism, this system actually secures the desktop from opening in the event of a collision, with or without locking the key. The knob turns to "Close" the top from opening, then you can "Lock" the knob so that the computer is secured into the top, a very easy to use system that works fast to get your computer in and out.

The entire system is bolted to the seat rails of the truck so theft is deterred and prevents the so called "Smash and Grab" scenario, where you have to leave your truck/ or car with the computer inside and go into a building for a short while. It allows you to leave the computer as is, you don't have to take it out and put it away each time you get in and out of the truck.

In the event of a collision, this system ensures that the computer does not come out of the top, it stays put, this is a very safe desk. The machining and workmanship on this desk is first rate, made in the USA, this is a high end piece of equipment.

The Mongoose has a streamlined adjustable and rotational arm, with rotating top, it makes working on this desk from either side of the truck the best in the industry. There is tons of room under the desk with this slide, it's not like the articulating arms which take up space underneath, its neat and clean. And with the ratcheting movement system, with the knob right under the computer, moving it is so easy.

If you need to enter some data at a job site and want to use it exactly like a desk in front of you, just swing it over the passenger side, jump in and it's perfectly positioned right in front of you. You can adjust the height up and down to suit your needs, you can tilt the keyboard, and rotate it if required, slide it left or right on the slide mechanism to get just the right position, it is really something to use this desk.

The beauty of the Mongoose is the unique slide action also has a geared rotational system at the top of the pedestal. This allows for immediate placement out of the way. Just pull the knob, turn, release and it locks into place in a gear notch. Ingenious really. This unit goes from full work to Transport in seconds.

I can put any desk in my truck I like, this is the one I use.

This desk takes up the least amount of space in transport mode, or work mode, it's streamlined, the base locates the pedestal right over to the console, and when you put it over to Transport its completely out of the way of the driver controls and console area and also right out of the way of the passenger.

The lids fully close on the Mongoose, so you can just close your lid and motor, no worries about your hinges. Many laptop desks, cheaper desks of course don't have this level of features, so you end up with competitor desks that don't allow your lid to close, this obstruct your keyboard with holding mechanisms, this wears on your computer. Not the Mongoose, this baby is well engineered.

The unique Mongoose slide is what really makes this desk a dream to use. You don't have to reach over to the pedestal all the time to operate it like every other desk.

The knob to control the rotation is right under your computer - easy to use - the slide action knob is on the side of the sliding arm, again, easy to reach and use. This makes this the nicest desk of all to adjust. That slide allows you to bring the computer right over to you to work on, then simply just slide it back out of the way.

The slide mechanism was tested in a controlled repeat endurance program where it was slammed back and forth 50,000 times, just to be sure it wouldn't fail. You can hammer this slide back when your done with confidence. This is a great desk to us, it simply is hard to explain how nice it is compared to trying to reach the pedestal all the time to adjust the position versus the Mongoose with the controls at the end of the arm, right near you.

The advanced engineering that went into the Mongoose and the streamlined effects of the slide and rotational assembly leaves tons of room for passengers even with a computer fully mounted in the desktop.

No more having to wedge someone in, or worse, keep taking your entire desktop out of the truck when you need to have a passenger. They have basically the whole floor area, they don't even notice anything, the pedestal is nice and tight to the console, and the mechanism on top of the pedestal is neat, clean, compact and the slide arm is right under the computer.

This is a great setup for the new trucks with these consoles and floor shift setups, the neat clean assembly doesn't hinder using it in these trucks.

The new Mongoose base is custom designed to fit exact to each truck, by Year, Make, Model, and seat type. It matches up perfect. Each base positions the pedestal over to the console as far as is allowed for each truck, giving you the most room in the passenger seat, and the ability to get the desk the closest to the driver.

Each base is clean and neat, with minimal wastage of foot space, it looks good installed, and goes in with simple hand tools, anyone can install this desk. What I really like about this base is that the nuts are welded to the base, so you just position your top and install the supplied studs, you don't need to try to hold the nut under the base while tightening up the pedestal upright.

Little things mean a lot when it comes to install time, and making sure things stay tight, and the engineering on this desk is first rate. This desk was designed to go into the new trucks, we all know what these new trucks cost these days, there is absolutely no reason to put some cheap competitor desk in when this level of quality is available.

There is serious strength in the base, the lower pedestal and the upper pedestal, all the way through the slide, right to the steel clevis under the top, all material is first rate, and heavy duty. Power coated for a great finish for years, this steel component manufacturing process gives you a desk that will outlast many trucks and many computers, basically you buy 1 desk period.

The base plates are interchangeable - meaning if you switch brands of vehicle you never buy the desk again, just replace the base to match your new vehicle, this system is designed to just bolt right to the new base, piece of cake to change trucks. Heck you could even have a base and lower pedestal in a different vehicle and just walk the top from truck to truck.

This gives you an opportunity to use this in a Motor Home, or car and truck, or work and home vehicles. This is one strong desk and versatile.

Little things make huge differences in using the laptop mount each day. Every manufacturer and competitor, our own other desks included, all force you to reach over to the pedestal shaft to rotate the computer. This is a major drag, as it can be quite reach for some.

The Mongoose however has the knob that you just pull out, right at the end of the slide nearest you, you just pull it out, and rotate, nothing could be easier.

The geared end on the pedestal is all controlled from this knob, you never have to reach way over there to move the desk. Also, it just clicks into place where ever you let the knob go, it finds the next closest notch and that is it. It's fast. No hand tightening down a knob or anything of that nature, it's in the position in seconds.

The geared location on top of the pedestal is full rotation, so you can operate this quickly from either side of the truck.

Considering that you will be using this day in and day out for years, ease of use is a major factor is purchasing. There simply isn't a desk on the market anywhere that is easier to use than the Mongoose.

The top rotational and tilt knob is placed directly underneath and is easy and fast to use. The slide knob is always close to you and it is right on the slide that stays near you, just pull it out, slide the computer and let it go where you want. To slide it back just pull it out and slide. Done.

No more stretching over your console, over half of your truck to adjust the position each time, it's right there. Combining all these positive features is why we recommend the Mongoose as our most advanced, feature rich desk available.

This is a terrific desk.
