A car ramp is a steel or plastic construction that allows you to easily drive your car up and lift one side off the ground. This gives you the opportunity to inspect and maintain the underside of your car. A car ramp is a simple alternative to the professional lifts found in garages. Unlike a jack, your car stands firmly with its wheels on a ramp, preventing it from suddenly falling.
A mini ramp is a smaller version of a car ramp. This makes it a more affordable and practical alternative. The operation is practically the same; the biggest difference is the load capacity. If you want to use your ramp for a specific car, it's essential that the ramp is strong enough to support its weight.
Car ramp buying guide
When purchasing a mini ramp or car ramp, there are a few things to consider. First, the load capacity must be sufficient for its intended purpose. If you work on larger vehicles, a car ramp may be more suitable than a mini ramp.
Material is also important. Plastic ramps are often solid, enabling them to support considerable weight. However, this makes them heavier and less convenient to store than a steel ramp. A steel car ramp is made with a crossbeam construction and is therefore sometimes even foldable.
Car ramps are available in various sizes. A wider variant is suitable for larger vehicles.
