Swivel Stands Are Just One Type of POS Mount

In today’s fast-paced retail and hospitality environments, efficiency, accessibility, and customer interaction are everything. Point-of-sale (POS) device mounts—like swivel, fixed, wall, and drive-thru stands—play a key role in streamlining checkout experiences and optimizing counter space.

Among these, swivel stands are among the most popular, giving associates and customers a more flexible and engaging transaction experience. But swivel stands are just one of many types of DCCStands metal stands and payment mounts designed to fit your business needs.

Understanding DCCStands Metal Stands and Payment Mounts

A swivel stand is a flexible mounting option that allows your payment device to rotate or tilt easily, enhancing user comfort and accessibility. By positioning devices at optimal viewing angles, swivel stands create a smoother, more ergonomic checkout experience.

Within the broader range of DCCStands metal stands and payment mounts, swivel stands are only one category—alongside fixed stands, VESA mounts, wall mounts, and drive-thru mounts—each built for different use cases and installation preferences.

Swivel & Freestanding Stands vs. Fixed Stands

Choosing the right POS stand starts with understanding how your devices will be used.

Swivel and Freestanding Stands

Swivel and freestanding stands share the same rotating functionality, but a freestanding stand simply adds a base plate—offering mobility without permanent installation.

• Swivel Stand:
  Enables smooth rotation and tilt for shared customer–associate viewing and faster transactions.
  Available with screw-down or glue-down bases for secure mounting.
  Ideal for busy checkout counters that require flexibility without sacrificing stability.
  Example:  Dejavoo P1 Swivel and Tilt Stand

• Freestanding Swivel Stand:
  Adds a sturdy base plate for easy repositioning and mobility—no drilling required.
  Perfect for temporary installations, pop-up shops, or environments where you may want to move the POS setup.
  Example: Square POS Freestanding Swivel and Tilt Stan with Round Plate

Fixed Stand

A fixed stand offers maximum stability and tamper resistance—ideal for high-traffic or permanent checkout lanes.

• Keeps the device locked in position for security and consistency.

• Space-efficient and built for long-term use.

• Best suited for retail, grocery, and other environments where the POS terminal stays stationary.
  Example: Ingenico Lane/3600 Fixed Stand

VESA and Wall Mounts in Business Environments

When counter space is limited, VESA and wall mounts help optimize layouts while keeping devices easily accessible.

• VESA Mounts:
  These standardized mounts let you attach payment devices to monitors or arms using VESA hole patterns, accommodating a range of screen sizes and weights.
  Example: Clover Flex 3/Flex 4 VESA Flat Tilt Mounting Bracket for 19"-23" Monitor - Locking- White

• Wall Mounts:
  Designed to free up counter space and improve customer interactions, wall mounts secure devices to the wall for stability and convenience.
  Common in retail, QSR, and hospitality settings.
  Example: Swivel and Tilt L-Shaped Wall Mount

Drive-Thru Mount Applications

Drive-thru mounts are designed for high-speed, high-volume transactions—keeping devices accessible and secure while improving customer convenience.

• Fast Food Restaurants: Enable quick, accurate order processing.

• Pharmacies: Simplify prescription pickups and reduce wait times.

• Banks: Support secure, efficient drive-up transactions.
  Example: DCCStands Tilted Drive-Thru Extended 15" Handheld Bracket/Mount for Most Terminal Types

How to Choose the Right POS Mount

Selecting the right mount can have a big impact on workflow and customer experience. Here are key factors to consider:

1. Assess Your Space: Limited space? Go with wall or VESA mounts. Larger counters? Swivel or freestanding stands offer flexibility.

2. Functionality Needs: If you need rotation and shared viewing, a swivel or freestanding stand is ideal. For high-security setups, choose fixed.

3. Mobility & Installation: Freestanding models require no hardware—great for temporary setups.

4. Budget & Durability: All DCCStands™ are built for longevity; select the model that best fits your usage frequency and environment.
