Truck Laptop Mounts – Ram Mounts

Truck Laptop Mounts

Since the innovation of affordable cell phones, portable computers—especially laptops—are probably the products that have made the biggest impact on those who travel for a living. Whether they’re used for entertainment during time off or to run invaluable trucking software during the route, a trucker’s laptop needs to be easily accessible throughout the length of the journey.

In order to access their laptops easily and safely, many drivers are installing laptop mounts in their cabs. Mounts that swivel allow drivers to easily alternate between using their laptops and taking care of other business without ever leaving the driver’s seat. Because the mounts allow the computer to remain on during the entire route, drivers do not have to bother with opening and switching the devices on or off, and because mounts are usually installed near the dashboard, laptops are close to a power source. Many laptop mounts include additional features that protect the computer from the shock of the road.

RAM Mount Products, a company that specializes in mounts of many different kinds, provides a semi-truck laptop mount that not only provides the convenience and accessibility offered by other laptop mounts, but also boasts a quick and painless installation.

The mounts are crafted out of steel and are custom made to fit certain truck models, including Freightliner, Kenworth, Volvo and Peterilt models. By customizing the mounts to certain trucks, RAM insures that the products will fit snugly in each truck, minimizing the chance for damage and incorrect installation. The laptop docks are, however, universal; they will fit any laptop.

The mounts secure to the front bench or passenger side seat, RAM mounts are unique in that they do not require a drill for attachment. Instead, they use rail bolts and other features already in the cab for security. The company sends installation tools for trucks that may have been altered from their factory settings. RAM also boasts that the mounts are uniquely safe—they can absorb the shocks of the road.

In addition to their signature mounts, RAM also offers a Tough Tray for extra on-the-road security, power docks, screen support, monitor attachments, etc. These additional accessories allow drivers to choose from a variety of angles for their laptops, additional security, and power options. In addition to the laptop mounts, RAM offers similar printer mounts that can either be secured to the laptop mount or mounted separately. Printer mounts are tailored to certain printer models, including HP, Canon, and PENTAX.

By providing laptop mounts that top the competition’s, RAM’s has supplied products that are a welcome addition to any trucker’s cab. The company goes about and beyond the call of duty in customer service as well. Instruction guides for most products can be downloaded from the company’s site, www.ram-mount.com, and replacement parts or accessories can be easily ordered from the same site. Products also include a life time warranty.

For truckers who love to be informed on the road, a RAM laptop mount will make accessing personal computers easier, in addition to insuring the safety of the laptop. And because RAM laptop mounts are installed using already existing hardware, drivers need not worry about damaging their cabins with drills.
