How to Identify Genuine RAM® Mounts in Australia (2026 Guide)

RAM® Mounts has built a reputation globally for rugged, modular mounting systems designed for demanding environments.

They are commonly used in:

• Fleet vehicles

• Mining and construction

• Logistics and transport

• Agriculture

• Public safety

• Motorcycles and powersports

• Warehouses and forklifts

• Commercial vehicles

Unlike low-cost alternatives, genuine RAM® Mounts are engineered to withstand:

• Constant road vibration

• Heat exposure inside vehicles

• Rough terrain

• Heavy tablet and device loads

• Frequent repositioning and adjustment

When a mount fails in a work vehicle or truck, it’s not just inconvenient. It can interrupt workflows, damage devices, create safety issues, and increase replacement costs.

That’s why many businesses choose authentic RAM® systems designed for long-term use.

Not every inexpensive mount is fake, but many low-cost alternatives sacrifice quality in areas that matter most.

Here are common warning signs.

One of the biggest differences is ball-and-socket grip quality.

Low-quality mounts often:

• Slip during driving

• Lose tension quickly

• Struggle to hold heavier phones or tablets

• Vibrate excessively on rough roads

Genuine RAM® Mounts are known for their secure grip and adjustability under demanding conditions.

Cheap mounting systems often use:

• Brittle plastics

• Low-grade metal

• Weak rubber coatings

• Thin hardware components

This can lead to:

• Cracking

• Warping in heat

• Premature wear

• Device instability

Genuine RAM® products use high-quality materials designed for commercial and industrial use.

Many imitation mounts lack the modular ecosystem RAM® Mounts are known for.

With genuine RAM® systems, users can mix and match:

• Bases

• Arms

• Holders

• Extension pieces

• Vehicle-specific mounting options

This flexibility is one of the biggest reasons businesses standardise around RAM®.

One of the safest ways to ensure authenticity is purchasing from an authorised reseller.

Mounts Australia has been an authorised RAM® Mounts reseller since 2018 and supplies genuine RAM® products across Australia.

Benefits of buying through an authorised reseller include:

• Genuine products

• Local support

• Product guidance

• Compatibility assistance

• Access to the broader RAM® ecosystem

Some online marketplaces contain:

• Generic copies

• Unverified sellers

• Incomplete kits

• Incorrect product pairings

A lower price may look attractive initially, but replacement costs and downtime can quickly outweigh the savings.

This is especially important for:

• Fleet deployments

• Industrial environments

• Motorcycle riders

• Work vehicle installations

Australian worksites and roads can be demanding.

Fleet vehicles often experience:

• Corrugated roads

• Continuous vibration

• High cabin temperatures

• Long operating hours

Genuine RAM® Mounts are trusted because they are designed to perform consistently under these conditions.

While cheaper mounts may reduce upfront cost, they often require:

• Frequent replacement

• Re-tightening

• New components

• Additional device protection

A genuine RAM® system can provide better long-term value through durability and modularity.

Many businesses standardise around RAM® because components are interchangeable.

This simplifies:

• Vehicle rollouts

• Device upgrades

• Spare part management

• Installation consistency

For example, a business may reuse:

• Existing bases

• Existing arms

• Existing mounting points

while only changing the device holder during hardware upgrades.

Popular for:

• Tradespeople

• Delivery drivers

• Fleet vehicles

• Service technicians

Common setups include:

• Suction mounts

• Dash mounts

• Tough-Claw™ mounts

• Drill-down bases
