RAM® Phone Holder Tab Tite™ Spring Loaded (RAM-HOL-TAB23U) by RAM Mounts

Your phone, GPS or gear belongs where you can use it safely, not bouncing around in a pocket or a cubby. The RAM® Phone Holder Tab Tite™ Spring Loaded (part number RAM-HOL-TAB23U) is a holder shaped for a specific device family, so the device locks in with a precise fit instead of a one-size-fits-all grip. Built by RAM Mounts, the brand trusted by ATV and UTV drivers, first responders, pilots and anglers, it is engineered to hold tight on rough roads and rougher trails.

At Witchdoctors we stock genuine RAM Mounts parts with the same part numbers RAM uses, so you can build a new setup, replace a worn piece or expand the system you already own with confidence.

Why Choose the RAM® Phone Holder Tab Tite™ Spring Loaded

Device-specific holders are made for riders, paddlers and off-roaders who carry dedicated GPS units, tablets or rugged cases. The holder is molded to the device’s outline, which means less rattle, better access to controls and a more secure hold over rough terrain than a universal cradle can provide.

• Keeps buttons, screen and ports accessible while mounted
• Attaches to RAM ball adapters using RAM’s standard hole pattern
• High-strength construction built for outdoor and vehicle use
• Becomes part of any RAM B-size system with the right ball adapter

Specifications

• Part number: RAM-HOL-TAB23U
• Product type: device-specific holder
• Warranty: RAM limited lifetime warranty on the mount and components (devices are not covered)

How the RAM Ball-and-Socket System Works

Every RAM mount is built from three interchangeable parts: a base that attaches to your vehicle, a double socket arm, and a holder or accessory for your device. Each base and holder ends in a rubber ball, and the arm’s sockets clamp around those balls when you turn the center knob. The rubber gives the joint grip, lets you set almost any angle, and helps soak up shock and vibration.

Parts only connect within the same ball size, so it pays to know the system:

• A size: 0.75" ball for lightweight devices
• B size: 1" ball, the most popular size for phones, GPS units, cameras and cup holders
• C size: 1.5" ball for tablets and heavier equipment
• D size: 2.25" ball for laptops and heavy-duty loads

This part connects to the RAM B-size system through the holders, adapters or arms noted above.

Materials and Build Quality

RAM builds its mounts from high-strength composite, powder-coated marine-grade aluminum and stainless steel hardware, depending on the part. Composite parts (usually marked with a RAP prefix) are light, strong and rust-proof. Aluminum parts are powder-coated to resist corrosion. Stainless hardware won’t rust in rain, mud, road salt or salt spray, so the mount keeps working season after season.

Fitment and Compatibility

The RAM® Phone Holder Tab Tite™ Spring Loaded is a universal-fit RAM part. It isn’t tied to a model year. Fit depends on the mounting point, such as bar or tube diameter, reservoir screw spacing, thread size or surface type, and for holders on the size of your device.

• ATVs, UTVs and side-by-sides
• Boats, trucks, tractors, mowers and equipment wherever the base can attach

Model years: all years, provided the mounting point matches the specifications above. Not sure of your bar size? Use our Roll Cage / Handlebar Measurement Guide before you order.

Installation

1. Confirm your device model matches this holder.
2. Attach a compatible RAM ball adapter to the back of the holder with the supplied or recommended hardware.
3. Connect the ball to a RAM double socket arm and base.
4. Seat the device and test the fit before your first ride.

Most installs take under 15 minutes with basic hand tools. Recheck knob tension and fasteners after your first ride.

Where the RAM® Phone Holder Tab Tite™ Spring Loaded Works Best

• Trail maps and GPS tracks on ATV and UTV rides
• Ride-tracking, comms and camera apps on group trail days
• Work use on farm, ranch and job-site machines

Protecting Your Phone From Vibration

High-amplitude vibration, especially from powerful motorcycle engines, can damage the optical image stabilization and autofocus systems in some smartphone cameras. Apple publishes guidance warning iPhone owners about this. To reduce the risk, keep arms short, use rubber-ball joints like RAM’s, and consider adding a RAM Vibe-Safe™ dampener. RAM notes that reducing vibration does not guarantee full protection, so use your judgment on very high-vibration machines.

Care and Maintenance

• Clean with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh solvents that can dry out the rubber balls.
• Check knob tension and base fasteners periodically, especially on off-road machines.
• Replace worn X-Grip post caps or tethers to keep full grip.
• Inspect rubber balls for cracking after long sun exposure, and replace the part if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this holder come with a ball?

Device-specific holders usually mount to a separate RAM ball adapter. Check the specifications above; if no ball is listed, add a RAM ball adapter such as the RAM-B-202 or RAM-B-347U.

Will it fit a different model?

These holders are shaped for the device family named in the title. Fit with other devices is not guaranteed.

Is it waterproof?

RAM mounts are built for all-weather use and the hardware resists corrosion. Unless a holder is specifically rated waterproof, your device still needs its own protection from rain and dust.

Will it damage my handlebars or paint?

Rubber-padded contact points and correct hardware torque prevent damage. Do not over-tighten clamps on chrome or painted parts.

What warranty does RAM offer?

RAM Mounts backs its mounts and components with a limited lifetime warranty. Mounted devices are not covered.

Is the RAM® Phone Holder Tab Tite™ Spring Loaded compatible with my other RAM parts?

It connects to RAM’s B-size system through the holders, adapters or arms described above.
