What Are the Best RAM Mounts for Professional Fleets and Tradies

Mobile devices are now essential tools for fleets, service vehicles and tradies. From navigation and job dispatching to safety checks and communication, phones and tablets are central to daily operations. To keep these devices safe, visible and compliant, you need a mounting system designed for professional environments, not consumer use.

RAM Mounts are trusted across Australia for their durability, modular design and vibration-damping performance. As an authorised RAM reseller, Mounts Australia offers a wide range of RAM phone mounts and RAM tablet mounts purpose-built for vehicles in construction, mining, transport, logistics, utilities and field service.

Below are the best RAM Mounts for professional fleets and tradies, organised into real-world challenges with recommended RAM components available from Mounts Australia.

Why Professionals Choose RAM Mounts

RAM Mounts use a patented rubber ball and socket system that absorbs vibration, allows full adjustability and provides a secure hold on your device.

Key benefits of RAM Mounts for fleets and tradies:

  • Protects devices from drops, shocks and harsh vibration
  • Supports legal hands-free use for road safety and compliance
  • Adapts to almost any vehicle interior with modular arms, bases and cradles
  • Works with phones, tablets, GPS units and enterprise devices
  • Built from rugged materials to withstand Australian worksites

Challenge 1: Keeping Devices Secure and Compliant

Fleet and logistics managers must ensure driver safety while following strict compliance rules. A RAM Mount setup keeps mobile devices locked, visible and ready for use in hands-free mode, supporting safer driving and reliable access to work applications.

The RAM Universal X-Grip Cradle (RAM-HOL-UN7BU) is one of the most popular RAM phone holders for fleets and tradies. Its spring-loaded design, composite arms and rubber grip tips provide a strong, secure hold while remaining fast to load and remove.

Why it solves the challenge:

  • Holds the device firmly, even on rough roads
  • Fully adjustable for optimal viewing angles
  • Supports legal hands-free use when mounted correctly
  • Fits most modern smartphones
  • Ideal for utes, vans, fleet vehicles and delivery drivers

To build a complete, road-ready solution, pair the cradle with a mounting base and arm.

Challenge 2: Maintaining Strong Signal & Device Accessibility in Remote Areas

Field teams often rely on tablets for navigation, mapping, inspections and digital job workflows. These devices must remain visible, accessible and stable even in challenging environments.

The RAM Tab-Tite Holder for 9"–10.5" Tablets with Heavy Duty Cases (RAM-HOL-TAB20U) is designed for rugged use. Its spring-loaded top and bottom cups adjust to hold tablets with protective cases attached.

Why it solves the challenge:

  • Keeps tablets visible for mapping and job apps
  • Allows positioning near windows for clearer signal
  • Designed for mining, utilities, construction and off-road vehicles
  • Supports a wide range of tablets in heavy-duty cases
  • Pairs easily with different arms and bases

Challenge 3: Reliable Power & All-Day Mounting for Small Devices

Some fleets rely on compact devices that stay mounted and powered all day. These setups require a secure grip, clear cable access and flexible positioning.

The RAM Small Universal Spring-Loaded Clamping Cradle (RAM-HOL-UN1) uses padded locking side clamps to hold small devices securely, making it ideal for all-day operation.

Why it solves the challenge:

  • Strong side clamps with rubber padding
  • Great for devices plugged in during long shifts
  • Stable and vibration-resistant
  • Fits many vehicle interiors
  • Fast to load and unload
