Ramps
Ramps raise your vehicle so you can work underneath with more space. Pick a set that matches your vehicle's weight, and mind the inlet height if you drive a low sports car. Plastic ramps are light and won't rust; steel versions handle heavier vans and are more sturdy. Longer ramps give a gentler slope, protecting low bumpers and sills. Two-piece sets store easily; single ramps work with an axle stand when you need to lift one wheel. Always check the tread width so your tyre sits securely before you start.

Vehicle ramps: which one to choose?
Which size or version suits you?
Vehicle ramps are available in plastic and steel. Plastic is light and rust-free, handy for daily use. Steel cross-arms are more stable and suitable for heavy-duty vans. Choose the weight rating that suits your vehicle. Also check the width of the running surface, so your tyre is properly supported.
Where does it go wrong when ordering?
The approach height is important for low cars. A slope that is too steep damages the underbody. The length determines how steep the slope is. The longer the ramp, the kinder it is to the car. Always check the length and height. Two-piece sets are easy to store. Single ramps you use in combination with an axle stand when you want to lift one wheel.
Which standard matters?
When buying, check the maximum load per set. It must be higher than the weight of your vehicle. This prevents overloading and damage. Choose a set that meets the applicable safety requirements for vehicle ramps.
