Ramp capacity is quoted per pair on most listings and per ramp on some, and the two figures are easy to confuse. A ramp rated at 1 tonne each is a 2 tonne pair, so the same product can appear as either number depending on which the listing gives. Reading which is stated comes first. The 3 tonne figure is the one most often asked for, and it is a per-pair rating on the ramps that carry it.
Entry height is the figure that decides whether a car gets onto the ramp at all. A low front spoiler or an aftermarket bumper will foul a standard ramp before the tyre has climbed it, which is why low entry ramps exist as a separate form rather than as a variant.
Extensions solve the same problem from the other end, adding a shallower approach in front of the ramp so the angle is reduced rather than the ramp lowered. They carry their own capacity rating and are matched to the ramps they extend. Extensions at 400kg each are ordered alongside the ramps rather than instead of a low entry pair.
Loading ramps are a different product for a different job, running 360 to 680kg per pair in steel folding, aluminium and mesh forms for wheeling a machine up rather than driving a car on. A tri-fold ramp at 680kg covers motorcycles, trikes, ATVs and mini tractors. Questions go over WhatsApp on 07754288583 with the vehicle.
