Karlak heavy-duty tyre ramps – low-profile 2.44in lift, 6 tonnes per pair
These Karlak ramps are a no-nonsense solution for anyone who needs to raise a low-slung car a couple of inches to get practical jobs done — oil changes, underbody checks or to slip a hydraulic jack underneath. They’re straightforward and sturdy: lift the chassis by 2.44 inches (about 62 mm) while keeping the vehicle stable and secure.
Key features
- Robust material – moulded from impact-resistant polypropylene (PP) for longevity and reliable grip.
- Low-profile slope – roughly a 20° incline, purpose-built for lowered and low-clearance cars.
- Curved anti-slip design – the ramp cradles the tyre and features drainage channels so you’re less likely to slip on a damp morning.
- High load capacity – rated to 6 tonnes per pair (approx. 6,000 kg / ~13,200 lbs), so fine for most cars and many light vans.
- Compact and portable – pairs pack down to roughly 17.32 x 9.45 x 3.14 inches (about 440 x 240 x 80 mm) for tidy storage in the garage or boot.

Why these ramps might be right for you
If you’ve been faffing about trying to get a jack under a lowered car, these ramps make that step much less of a palaver. They’re ideal for quick jobs in a home garage or a quieter pro bay where you just need a bit of extra room to work. The curved profile and textured surface help tyres sit snugly rather than sliding off — handy when the surface is sodden or it’s been raining.
Typical uses and tips
- Perfect for oil changes, filter swaps, inspections and other light maintenance where a modest lift is all that’s needed.
- Always chock the opposite axle and use a hydraulic jack or axle stands as an additional safety measure when working beneath the car — the ramps lift, but any under-vehicle work should be double-secured.
- Store flat in the garage or carry in the boot; they’re lightweight to move about but proper and sturdy when in use.
Practical notes and care
Wipe the ramps down after use if they’re covered in oil or grit to keep the drainage channels clear. They perform best on a flat, level surface. If you need bigger lifts or hydraulic operation, compare these with dedicated hydraulic ramps — Karlak’s are for modest, reliable lift and convenience, not a full hoist replacement.
One thing to bear in mind: very wide tyres or chunky off-road treads may sit differently. Most standard passenger tyres will fit comfortably, but it’s sensible to check your tyre width against the ramp width (9.45 inches / ~240 mm) before you use them.
All told, a simple, tough pair of ramps that save time and hassle — no more crawling about trying to muscle a jack under a lowered car.
