Best RAM® Phone Mounts for Delivery Drivers in Australia
|
Time to read 6 min
The best RAM® phone mount for delivery drivers is one that keeps the phone secure, easy to see and safely positioned while the vehicle is moving. For Australian delivery drivers, couriers, rideshare drivers and field workers, a reliable phone mount can make everyday navigation, job updates and hands-free communication much easier.
Delivery work is demanding on both drivers and equipment. A basic clip-on phone holder may work for short personal trips, but drivers who spend hours on the road need something stronger, more adjustable and more stable. That is where RAM® Mounts stand out.
At Mounts Australia, we supply genuine RAM® Mounts designed for real-world use across cars, vans, utes, trucks and commercial vehicles. This guide explains what delivery drivers should look for, which mounting styles are worth considering and which RAM® products are a good match for delivery work.
Why delivery drivers need a better phone mount
Delivery drivers rely on their phones for GPS navigation, delivery apps, route updates, customer messages, proof-of-delivery photos and job management.
A poor-quality phone mount can create daily frustration. It may shake on rough roads, block visibility, fall off the windscreen, make charging awkward or force the driver to look too far away from the road.
A good delivery driver phone mount should:
- hold the phone securely during stop-start driving
- keep the screen visible without blocking the windscreen
- allow quick device access when parked
- work with different phone sizes and cases
- support portrait and landscape viewing
- handle daily commercial use
- make charging easy

What makes RAM® Mounts suitable for delivery drivers?
RAM® Mounts use a modular ball-and-socket system. This means you can combine a base, arm and device holder to create a setup that suits your vehicle and driving style.
Instead of relying on one fixed holder design, RAM® lets you choose the mounting base, arm length and phone cradle that best matches your vehicle interior.
For delivery drivers, the key benefits are:
- strong grip and adjustability
- replaceable components
- compatibility with many phone models
- options for suction, drill-down, adhesive and rail-style mounting
- easy repositioning
- heavy-duty construction for regular use

| Mount type | Best for | Key benefit | Consideration |
|---|---|---|---|

Best overall option: RAM® X-Grip® phone holder setup
For many delivery drivers, a RAM® X-Grip® phone holder is one of the most practical choices. The spring-loaded design allows it to fit many smartphone sizes, including phones with cases.
This makes it especially useful if:
- you upgrade phones often
- multiple drivers use the same vehicle
- you use a protective case
- you want a holder that is not locked to one exact phone model
The X-Grip® is commonly paired with a RAM® B size arm and a suitable vehicle base. For everyday delivery work, this gives a strong balance of adjustability, stability and convenience.
Best option for drivers who change vehicles often
Some delivery drivers move between vehicles or use rental, company or temporary vehicles. In that case, a permanent mount is not always practical.
A RAM® suction cup base is a good choice when portability matters. It allows the driver to move the mount between vehicles without drilling or adhesive.
For best performance, apply the suction cup to a clean, smooth and suitable surface. Check the mount before driving and avoid placing it where it blocks visibility.
Best option for rougher roads and longer shifts
Drivers who travel on rough roads, industrial sites, rural routes or uneven surfaces should consider a more secure base and a shorter arm where possible.
A long arm gives more reach, but it can also increase vibration. For a more stable setup, use the shortest arm that still gives a comfortable viewing angle.
For rougher driving conditions, consider:
- fixed bases
- shorter socket arms
- stronger mounting points
- a secure phone holder
- careful positioning close to the dash or console
How to choose the right RAM® phone mount for delivery work
1. Choose your mounting location
Start by deciding where the phone should sit. The best position is easy to glance at without blocking your view or interfering with vehicle controls.
2. Choose the right base
Choose a suction cup if you need portability. Choose a drill-down or fixed base if you want a more permanent and secure commercial setup.
3. Choose the right arm length
Shorter arms are more compact and stable. Longer arms give more reach. For delivery vehicles, a standard or short arm is often the best choice unless the mounting point is far from the driver.
4. Choose the right phone holder
The holder should suit your phone size, case and how quickly you need to remove the device. A universal phone holder is a practical choice for drivers who may change devices or use thicker phone cases.
Common mistakes delivery drivers should avoid
- Using a cheap phone holder for commercial work
- Choosing an arm that is too long
- Mounting the phone too low
- Blocking air vents or controls
- Forgetting future phone upgrades

If you are setting up multiple delivery vehicles, Mounts Australia can help you choose a consistent RAM® Mount setup that works across your fleet.
