About
RAM Mounts Base Plate for Crown Forklifts
This RAM Mounts base plate is built specifically for Crown forklifts. It uses the D-Ball mounting interface (2.25" / 57 mm diameter) — the standard size across the RAM Mounts modular system — giving you a solid, permanent anchor point on the forklift frame.
From this base plate, you build out the rest of your mounting setup: choose the arm length and device holder that fits your mobile terminal, barcode scanner, or other equipment. The base stays on the truck; everything else is interchangeable.
Who needs this?
This plate is the right starting point for warehouses, logistics centres, and distribution operations where Crown forklifts are already in daily use with mobile terminals. When the device is locked firmly to the frame, the operator's hands stay free and the terminal doesn't shift or drop during movement.
Build and materials
- Ball size: D-Ball, 2.25" (57 mm) diameter — compatible with all RAM Mounts D-series arms and quick-release holders
- Material: Polymer construction, rated for the vibration and temperature swings typical in warehouse environments
- Country of origin: CN
- Packaging: Supplied in a poly bag, ready to install
Why the modular approach saves you time
When your terminal model changes — and it will — you don't pull the whole mount off the truck. The base plate stays exactly where it is. You swap only the holder or arm, which takes minutes rather than a full reinstallation. For a fleet of forklifts, that difference adds up quickly.
RAM Mounts is a recognised name in industrial vehicle mounting. The system is built to handle the knocks, vibration, and temperature variation that a warehouse shift puts on equipment every single day.
Installation
The base plate attaches directly to a compatible mounting point on your Crown forklift frame, following the manufacturer's instructions. Before ordering, confirm that your specific Crown model has a compatible mounting hole or surface for the D-Ball interface.
