KATSU 2pc heavy-duty low profile car ramps
These KATSU low-profile ramps are dead simple to use and perfect for quick jobs where you need a bit of extra height under the front of the car. Ideal for oil changes, exhaust checks and brake inspections, they’re low enough for cars that sit fairly close to the ground and light enough to move about without faffing about with heavy kit.
Key features
- Strong and durable – the pair will take a combined 4 tonne, so they’re suitable for most family cars and light vehicles doing routine maintenance.
- Low-profile design – gives easier access beneath the vehicle than taller ramps, which is handy when you’re wrestling with a sump plug or filter.
- Resistant plastic construction – weatherproof and corrosion-free for a long service life.
- Compact and stackable – detachable design makes storage a doddle; they won’t hog space in the garage.
- Textured top and wheel guides – help keep the tyre lined up while you drive on, so you feel safer and more confident using them.

Practical use and tips
If you want to change the oil without crawling around on your elbows, these ramps lift the front just enough to slide under with a drain tray and plug spanner — job done. A few quick pointers to stay on the safe side:
- Place on firm, level ground — loose or uneven surfaces are a no-no.
- Chock the rear wheels and apply the handbrake once the car’s on the ramps.
- Drive on carefully and use a steady, low gear; don’t rush it.
- Don’t exceed the load capacity and check your vehicle’s axle weight first to make sure it’s compatible.
If you’ve got a very low sports car, measure your tyre diameter and the ramp height before you buy — if the approach looks too steep, a thinner ramp or axle stands might be a better bet. One big plus is how handy these are in winter: you can pop the car up quickly and save your fingers from the cold.
Overall, these ramps are a simple, reliable addition to a home toolkit or small workshop. They cut down setup time, pack away neatly and do the basic job of getting you under the vehicle safely for routine checks and light maintenance.
