Car Ramps (Drive-On Ramps)
Car ramps are sloped platforms the car drives onto to raise the front or rear for underbody work.
What is Car Ramps (Drive-On Ramps)?
They are quick to use for oil changes and inspections. Low-angle ramps suit cars with low front spoilers. Each ramp has a maximum load rating. Drive onto ramps slowly and with someone guiding you so the wheels stay centred.
How it works
The wheels rest on a raised platform, keeping the suspension loaded as when driving.
Why it matters for your car
Use wheel chocks on the other axle and apply the handbrake. Ramps can slide on smooth floors; place them on a non-slip surface.
