Katsu Tools plastic car ramps — 5 tonne pair
These Katsu Tools plastic ramps are a straightforward, no-nonsense way to raise a car for light servicing, quick underbody checks or to give a bit more clearance when you’re working in a tight spot. They’re lightweight and easy to shift about, yet robust enough for everyday cars and many small vans. If there’s ever a time not to faff about with fiddly jacks, this is it.
what they offer
Made from a tough polymer, the ramps feature a nesting design so a pair slots together neatly for storage. Each ramp is rated to 2.5 tonnes, giving a combined capacity of 5 tonnes — more than enough for most cars and plenty of light commercial vehicles. The front lip has a rubber pad to reduce slipping when you first drive on, and the anti-skid surface keeps the tyre planted while the vehicle sits on the ramp. With a 17° approach angle the ramps lift the axle by around 6.5 inches (≈165 mm), providing useful access beneath the car without being over-the-top.
practical details and tips
- Use on flat, firm surfaces such as concrete or tarmac — uneven or soft ground will compromise stability.
- Tire contact patches up to about 9 inches (≈230 mm) wide will sit comfortably on the run-up.
- Compact nesting design keeps your shed tidy — no more tripping over loose ramps.
- Light enough for one person to move, but position carefully and check alignment before driving up.
- They’re great for quick services, oil checks and giving a bit of extra clearance when using a trolley jack, but they are not a substitute for axle stands during major repairs.

who these are for
Ideal for home mechanics, small garages or anyone after a quick, tidy way to lift a car a bit for routine checks. They’re not built for constant heavy commercial use on large lorries, but for most cars and many light vans they’re a sensible, space-saving and affordable choice. If you’re unsure, check your vehicle’s axle weight and tyre contact width — most everyday cars will be fine.
In short: they save time, stop you having to scrabble under a low nose, and keep bulky kit out of the way. A straightforward, reliable bit of kit that does the job without any drama.
