Products

The company's primary product line is a patented ball and socket system, originally known as "Round-A-Mount", abbreviated to RAM Mount. RAM also makes vehicle laptop mounts used in law enforcement vehicles.

Typically the ball and socket mounting system consists of three main parts, usually two base plates and one double socket arm, made from marine grade aluminum. Various device cradles for GPS sets, Cell phones or PDAs can be attached to those three main parts. One base plate attaches to the surface that is being mounted to and a double socket arm attaches to the mounted base plate. On the opposite end of the arm the second base plate attaches. The three components are interchangeable for many different combinations and mounting situations.

RAM has different ball base sizes for different applications. The company offers mounts ranging from light duty to heavy duty mounts.
