RAM Cradles and Holders
The RAM range has custom formed cradles and holders suitable for many electronic, PDA and GPS devices as will become apparent as you tour around our web site. Where applicable, we shall show the cradle with a selection of standard mounts to ease the selection process and choice. However, for the more adventurous user wishing to build a customized mount system, then by selecting mating parts, you can achieve your own solution.
Getting It Right
When ordering a RAM mount system or additional components, it's important that you understand the part number system.
To help you understand the part number format used, we are providing the following example. It is four different sizes of a basic RAM mounting system including the corresponding arm, round base with ball.
RAM-D-101 & RAM-D-202 have 2.25" balls (D size)
RAM-101 & RAM-202 have 1.5" balls (C size)
RAM-B-101 & RAM-B-202 have 1" balls (B size)
RAM-A-102 & RAM-A-238 have 9/16" balls (A size)
Note: The C size 1 .5" ball does not have a letter C following the RAM- prefix code, while all other sizes do require a letter.
For guidance only:
B size 1" ball mount for units up to 2.25kg weight (approx 5 lbs)
C size 1.5" ball mount for units up to 4.5kg weight (approx 10 lbs)
D size 2.25" ball mount for units up to 6.75kg weight (approx 15 lbs)
E size 3.38" ball mount for units up to 9kg weight (approx 20 lbs)
