FAQ's

Q: I already own a RAM mount for my car that supports my mobile phone, laptop, GPS, sat-nav, PDA, tablet PC etc. but now I want to mount that same device onto my motorcycle. Do I have to order a whole new mount?

A: No. All you need to do is purchase a new surface base compatible with both your current mount and the mounts new destination.

Click on 'Components' in the left hand navigation menu, go to the section RAM-B (1.0" dia.) and select a new base suitable for your motorcycle (e.g. RAM-B-231Z / U-Bolt Base with 1" Ball). You will use your existing double socket arm and device holder. Alternatively, from the Device Mounts section in the navigation menu, find your existing device holder and select a complete new base kit.

Q: If I’m planning on changing the base of my mount in order to attach it onto a different vehicle that is exposed to the environment such as a bicycle, motorcycle or an ATV, will my RAM mount and my device get damaged?

A: RAM Mounts are entirely weatherproof and extremely durable, and you can protect your device using a RAM Aquabox. You’ll find our Aqua-Boxes in the 'Device Mounts' section on the left hand navigation menu.

Please note that we are not liable for any damages made to a device due to user negligence.

Q: My laptop / device is extremely heavy, where / how do you recommend mounting it in my car / truck or on my motorcycle / ATV?

A: Our mounts are extremely heavy-duty and can support any device weighing up to 20lbs in any vehicle in any situation. For heavier devices with bigger surface areas such as larger laptops we would normally recommend using products such as the seat-mate or a swing-arm / tele-pole system for guaranteed support.

Such systems are recommended when a passenger seat / extra space is available, but when travelling in / on smaller vehicles such as ATV’s or bicycles it’s important to consider the practicality of your mount. In variable off-road environments, moving parts in some devices such as hard-drives in laptops are easily damaged due to vibration so be sure to consider solid-state drives and components in your chosen devices when mounting as RAM will not be held responsible for goods damaged under these circumstances. Despite this, damage may still occur when using other mounting solutions, which is why the unique shock and vibration dampening in our mounts make RAM the safest choice available.

Q: Do you offer an installation service?

A: If you're a business customer requiring multiple installations we offer a variety of services up and down the country.

If you're not a business customer we recommend that you contact your local dealer for further advice / assistance in your local area.
