Abstract
A mobile docking device is configured to receive seismic acquisition units. The mobile docking device includes a container having a front opening, a docking module located within the container, the docking module having plural docking bays, each docking bay being configured to receive one of the seismic acquisition units through the front opening, a removable front wall configured to be attached to the container to cover the front opening to secure the seismic acquisition units, and handles attached to the container. The removable front wall biases the seismic acquisition units to maintain a direct electrical connection between tubular pins of the plural docking bays and pins of the seismic acquisition units during transport of the mobile docking device.
