Best Car Ramps in 2022 (Reviews and Comparison)

1. RHINORAMPS CAR RAMPS

RhinoGear’s RhinoRamps MAX ramps are currently some of the most popular car ramps available and for good reason. These ramps do a number of things that set them apart from the competition, making them a very strong choice overall. With bottoms featuring their patented CoreTRAC non-slip design, they do a good job of staying in place while driving your vehicle onto them. Another design advantage here is the width of the ramps, which are made for large vehicles weighing up to 16,000 pounds; you should expect to have no issues easing your vehicle up onto them with some room to spare. In addition to these other practical design elements, the ramps also offer the extremely useful ability to stack on top of each other, saving storage space.

WHAT WE LIKE

RhinoRamps are constructed from a plastic resin material and can boast of being the only resin-constructed ramps to meet the requirements for P.A.L.D. (portable automotive lifting device) certification. The pair weighs approximately 22 pounds, and their dimensions are ‎37.2 x 13.1 x 11.5 inches. Due to their rugged construction and focus on larger vehicles, this is the biggest and heaviest set of ramps on this list, but we didn’t find this to be too much of an issue. Their ability to stack and their overall design outweighed their marginally larger weight and size.

These ramps from Pyle serve a slightly different purpose than the other ramps on this list. Differing from standalone products intended to lift a vehicle off the ground for maintenance, these ramps are designed to allow vehicle access over curbs and other such obstacles. If your goal is to easily drive your car or truck onto an elevated surface such as a sidewalk or loading zone, look no further.

These ramps are made from heavy-duty molded plastic and are rated to hold up to 6,600 pounds. While this is enough to support most passenger vehicles, some larger trucks and trailers might exceed this limit, so make sure you know the weight of your vehicle before buying. If you are looking for more permanent access, however, they do come with holes for mounting. The set also includes one black and one yellow ramp for added visibility. With its relatively small footprint and sturdy, lightweight design, this is a great product if you are looking to make a space more accessible to vehicles.

WHAT WE LIKE

One of the best aspects of this product is its portability. Only weighing about seven pounds total with a footprint of 20 x 10.6 x 4.1 inches, and equipped with a handle for carrying, these are very easy to transport.

Here is another quality set of ramps that focuses on being low-profile and lightweight. Compared to the RhinoRamps, these are smaller, only 27 x 7.8 x 3 inches to the Rhinos’ 37.2 x 13.1 x 11.5 inches. This smaller design allows for easy storage and transportation, as the ramps only weigh 4.5 pounds each. But more importantly, it allows for an easy, gradual incline to prevent damage to the bottom of your car. 

This design makes these ramps perfect for smaller cars with low ground clearance. Their incline is only 9.05 degrees with 2.5 inches of lift, allowing them to give you enough space to perform maintenance without causing any damage to the vehicle. While these ramps may not be as all-purpose as others such as RhinoRamps, they are by far the best option for low-clearance cars.

WHAT WE LIKE

They are also extremely durable when used within the weight limit, making them perfect for their intended use. If the other ramps on this list are too steep for your car, Discount Ramps are a great option that won’t exceed your budget.

Here is another quality set of ramps that focuses on being low-profile and lightweight. Compared to the The Trailer-Aid ramp is a popular option designed specifically for changing tandem tires on a trailer. Because of its intended use, this ramp is incredibly durable and has a 15,000-pound weight limit. Its curved design allows your trailer wheel to fall snugly into place and makes changing a tire by yourself as easy as it can be. Another advantage of this ramp’s design is that only a single unit is required to change your tire, meaning you won’t have to lug around a pair of them wherever you go.

If you are looking for a safer way to change your trailer’s tandem tires, then this is likely the best option for you. Trailer-Aid’s only downfall is its somewhat niche market: it is designed to provide enough lift for trailers with torsion axles, and will not work for leaf-spring axles as a result. Many modern travel trailers are equipped with leaf-spring axles, so be sure that this is the right product for your trailer before buying.

WHAT WE LIKE

The Trailer-Aid ramp is surprisingly lightweight at under six pounds, while still providing 4.5 inches of lift to get the job done. Measuring 24.7 x 7.5 x 6.3 inches, the unit’s heavy-duty polymer build makes it more durable than it appears, which has caused it to garner thousands of positive reviews about its reliability over the years.

The final product in the spotlight today is another tandem trailer wheel ramp, designed for the same purpose as the Trailer-Aid. In many ways, this ramp looks similar: at 24 x 7 inches, it is comparable in length and width to the Trailer-Aid, and also features a curved wall at the top to protect your trailer’s wheels while the ramp is in use. But what sets this ramp apart is the extra inch of lift it provides, boasting 5.5 inches to the Trailer-Aid’s 4.5.

While some reviewers still found it inadequate, many were able to change their tires effectively, even with leaf-spring axles. Besides this one major improvement, this ramp provides the same functionality as the previous.

WHAT WE LIKE

Due to its taller design, this ramp will provide enough lift to change the tire on a wider range of trailers than the Trailer-Aid. It has a durable plastic build that will withstand repeated use and is only very slightly heavier and more expensive.
