Large International Roofing Manufacturer Replaces Custom Forklift Mounts with RAM® Mounts

RAM® provided a large international roofing manufacturer with rugged forklift mounts, improving reliability and efficiency across demanding warehouse operations.

The Challenge

A large international roofing manufacturer relies on forklifts and mobile technology to support daily warehouse operations. Operators use rugged tablets and scanners from their forklifts, making secure and accessible device placement important for safe and efficient workflows.


The company previously relied on custom-fabricated clamps and device holders to mount equipment to its forklifts. Under demanding warehouse conditions, these solutions began to show their limitations. The mounts rusted quickly, struggled to withstand constant vibration, and ultimately failed prematurely.


The company needed a mounting solution that could:

  • Withstand vibration and heavy-duty warehouse conditions
  • Securely support rugged tablets and scanning equipment
  • Allow operators to conveniently position and access devices
  • Deliver consistent performance across its operations

The manufacturer needed a proven mounting system that could provide long-term reliability while integrating into its broader warehouse technology solution.

The Solution

To replace its custom-fabricated mounts, the manufacturer selected RAM® Mounts for its proven product quality, durability, and reliability in demanding environments. The rugged, adjustable system provided a more dependable solution for securing critical mobile technology to forklifts throughout daily warehouse operations.


The deployment pairs Unitech WM11 10” rugged tablets and Datalogic long-range 2D scanners with RAM® components, including a 75x75mm VESA Plate, Medium Double Socket Arm, and Square Post Clamp Base.


The RAM® Square Post Clamp Base provides a secure attachment point on the forklift, while the C Size ball-and-socket system helps absorb vibration and allows operators to adjust device positioning for convenient access during daily workflows. Built for demanding applications, the rugged mounting system provides the stability and durability needed to replace custom-fabricated solutions that could not withstand the environment.


With a durable and adjustable design built for demanding applications, the RAM® solution provides the long-term reliability and scalability needed to support continued deployment across warehouse operations.

The Results

Operators have responded positively to the stability and durability of the RAM® mounting solution. The system has performed reliably throughout daily warehouse operations, providing secure, accessible device positioning while supporting safer and more efficient workflows.


Based on the success of the solution, the manufacturer is replacing its previous custom-fabricated mounts with RAM® Mounts to support forklift workflows across its warehouse operations.


RAM® Mounts helped the manufacturer by:

Replacing failing custom mounts with a durable solution built to withstand daily forklift vibration

Improving stability and accessibility for rugged tablets and scanners

Enabling adjustable device positioning to support efficient warehouse workflows

Providing a reliable, scalable mounting system for continued deployment
