Product Information
Full details
The Draper Car Ramps (2.5 Tonne Pair) are designed for DIY mechanics and car enthusiasts needing to safely lift most cars and some light commercial vehicles for maintenance. Their key benefit lies in providing stable and secure access underneath your vehicle, aided by a non-skid thread and rubber pads. A potential caveat is their maximum tyre tread limit of 240mm, which may exclude wider-tired vehicles.

FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity per ramp?
Each ramp has a capacity of 1.25 Tonne, making the pair suitable for a total load of 2.5 Tonne.
Can these ramps be used with wide tires?
The ramps are designed for vehicles with a maximum tyre tread of 240mm. Tires wider than this may not fit safely or effectively.
What type of surface should I use these ramps on?
For optimal safety and stability, always use the ramps on a firm, level surface such as concrete or paved areas. Avoid soft ground or inclines.
How do I clean the car ramps?
Clean the ramps using a damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before storage.
Are these ramps suitable for all vehicles?
They are suitable for most cars and some light commercial vehicles, provided their tyre tread is 240mm or less and their total weight does not exceed 2.5 Tonne.
What is the height these ramps provide?
The ramps provide a lifting height of 218mm.
Troubleshooting
Ramps appear unstable
Ensure the ramps are placed on a completely level and solid surface. Check that the rubber pads are clean and making full contact with the ground. Verify that the vehicle's tire tread is within the 240mm limit.
Tires are slipping on the ramp surface
Ensure the non-skid tread is clear of mud, oil, or debris. Drive the vehicle slowly and steadily onto the ramps. Confirm the ramp is properly aligned with the tire.
Vehicle does not reach desired height
These ramps provide a fixed height of 218mm. If a greater height is required, consider alternative jacking methods or higher-capacity ramps.
