About
RAM Mounts Rectangular Base Plate — a solid starting point for your mounting setup
When a mobile terminal, card reader, or tablet needs to stay exactly where you put it, the mounting base matters more than people expect. This RAM Mounts rectangular base plate gives you a reliable, fixed anchor point that works with a wide range of arms, swivel joints, and surface mounts — without fuss.
The plate measures 2 x 1.7 inches (approximately 51 x 43 mm) and features a standard AMPS hole pattern, which means it connects directly to the existing fixing points on vehicle dashboards, wall brackets, counter stands, and warehouse equipment. The included 1-inch B-Ball socket links the plate into the broader RAM Mounts B-series ecosystem, so you can extend, angle, or reposition the setup later without buying a new base.
Why the base plate makes a practical difference
A mounting system is only as reliable as its weakest point. RAM Mounts hardware is built for demanding daily conditions — vibration from vehicles, temperature swings in a delivery van or stockroom, and the constant handling that comes with a busy counter.
When the base stays put, the device stays put. For staff, that means the terminal is in the same spot every time — no searching, no nudging it back into position mid-service. For you as the owner, it means one less thing to think about on a busy Friday evening.
