iBOLT Introduces Mount Configurator 2.0: Build Your Perfect Custom Mounting Solution

Published March 10, 2026

iBOLT has launched the Mount Configurator 2.0, an updated version of its online tool that lets customers build custom mounting solutions from iBOLT's ecosystem of over 300 modular parts. The configurator walks users through a step-by-step process: select a base, choose an arm, pick a holder, and add any adapters or accessories needed to create a mount that fits their exact requirements. Every configuration uses industry-standard ball sizes and ships as a complete, ready-to-install kit.

Why a Configurator Matters

Mounting is not one-size-fits-all. A forklift operator in a cold-storage warehouse needs a different setup than a delivery driver in a transit van, and both need something entirely different from a restaurant mounting four tablets at a POS station. Pre-packaged mount kits cover the most common use cases, but real-world deployments frequently require specific combinations of base type, arm length, ball size, and holder style that do not exist as a single SKU.

The Mount Configurator 2.0 solves this by opening iBOLT's full parts catalog to every customer. Instead of buying a kit that is close to what they need and then ordering additional adapters separately, customers can build exactly the right configuration from the start.

How the Configurator Works

The iBOLT Mount Configurator guides users through four steps:

Step 1: Choose Your Base

Select from suction cup, magnetic, drill-down, clamp, forklift, seat rail, headrest, or wall mount bases. Each base type is available in multiple ball sizes to match the rest of the system.

Step 2: Select Your Arm

Choose the arm length and style that provides the right reach and positioning. Options range from short 3-inch aluminum arms for tight spaces to 12-inch extension arms for installations where the mounting surface is far from the device's ideal position. All arms use iBOLT's standard ball-and-socket connections.

Step 3: Pick Your Holder

Select from TabDock universal tablet holders (7" to 12.4"), phone holders, LockPro locking holders, or XL Barcode Scanner holders. The configurator only shows holders compatible with the ball size selected in previous steps.

Step 4: Add Adapters and Accessories

This is where the configurator's power becomes most apparent. iBOLT's adapter catalog includes ball-size converters, dual-device arms, extension pieces, and cable management accessories. Need to connect a 25mm B-size holder to a 38mm C-size base? The iBOLT 22mm to 25mm Ball Adapter and iBOLT 25mm to Dual 17mm Ball Adapter (priced from $13.95 to $29.95) bridge between different ball sizes within the iBOLT ecosystem and across other industry-standard systems, including RAM.

Industry-Standard Ball Sizes

iBOLT's modular system is built around six ball sizes that correspond to industry standards used across the mounting industry:

• 17mm: Compact mounts for phones and small devices
• 20mm: Standard phone and small tablet mounts
• 22mm: Mid-size applications
• 25mm (B-size): The most common size for commercial vehicle and fleet tablet mounts
• 38mm (C-size): Heavy-duty industrial, forklift, and warehouse applications
• 57mm (D-size): Maximum load capacity for the largest tablets and multi-device configurations

Because these are industry-standard sizes, configurations built in the iBOLT Mount Configurator are cross-compatible with RAM and other mounting systems that use the same ball dimensions. A customer who already has a RAM B-size base installed in their truck can use the configurator to build an iBOLT arm and holder combination that attaches directly to their existing base.

Cross-Compatibility in Action

The configurator is especially valuable for organizations that have a mixed inventory of mounting hardware. A fleet that standardized on RAM years ago but wants to add iBOLT's TabDock holders or XL Scanner mounts to their setup can use the configurator to identify the right adapters and arms to bridge the two systems. Similarly, a warehouse adding new forklift mounts can match their existing 38mm C-size infrastructure while taking advantage of iBOLT's pricing and 24-hour shipping.

Pricing and Availability

Configurations built through the Mount Configurator ship as complete kits with all necessary hardware included. Pricing is determined by the components selected, with individual parts ranging from $13.95 for ball adapters to $159.95 for complete LockPro locking configurations. The configurator displays the running total as components are added, so there are no surprises at checkout.

All configurations built through the Mount Configurator ship within 24 business hours and are backed by iBOLT's 2-year warranty. For enterprise and fleet customers building configurations for 10 or more units, iBOLT's commercial team can provide volume pricing and custom SKU packaging.
