Race Ramps 5″ Height Hook Nose Rack Ramp (RR-RACK-HN14-5)

Description

Race Ramps 5″ Height Hook Nose Rack Ramp (RR-RACK-HN14-5) provides an effective and convenient solution for guiding low-clearance vehicles onto automotive lifts or service platforms. Designed with precision and user convenience in mind, these ramps eliminate the common challenge of scraping front ends, which often occurs when approaching traditional lifts with lowered vehicles. Crafted from a unique, high-density material, these ramps combine exceptional strength with remarkable lightness, offering a superior alternative to cumbersome steel ramps.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Gentle Approach Angle: Each 48-inch ramp incorporates a precise 6.4-degree angle of approach. This shallow incline significantly reduces the risk of damaging a vehicle’s front bumper or undercarriage as it ascends onto a lift, making it ideal for sports cars, modified vehicles, and other low-profile automobiles.
• Secure Hook-Nose Design: Equipped with a 3-inch hook connector, these ramps securely attach to the front edge of your lift or platform. This firm connection ensures stability and prevents the ramps from shifting during vehicle entry or exit, enhancing safety and confidence during use.
• Lightweight for Easy Handling: Manufactured from a specialized, 100% solid, high-density expanded foam, each ramp weighs a mere 9 pounds. This lightweight characteristic makes them effortless to position, move, and store compared to much heavier steel alternatives, saving time and physical effort.
• Protects Garage Floors: The unique material composition ensures that these ramps will not skid, scuff, or mark your garage floor. They also do not transfer heat or cold, contributing to a safer and more maintained workspace.
• High Load Capacity: Despite their light construction, these ramps are engineered for strength. Each individual ramp can support up to 1,500 pounds, allowing for a combined vehicle weight capacity of 6,000 pounds when used as a pair, accommodating a wide range of passenger vehicles.

HOW TO USE:

1. Inspect Ramps: Before each use, thoroughly inspect both ramps for any signs of damage or wear. Do not use if damaged.
2. Position Ramps: Place the ramps on a flat, level, and stable surface. Ensure that the ramps make full and secure contact with the ground along their entire length.
3. Connect to Lift/Platform: Position the 3-inch hook connector of each ramp securely over the front edge of your automotive lift or service platform. Verify that the connection is firm and stable.
4. Align Vehicle: Carefully align your vehicle’s tires with the center of each ramp. Ensure the steering wheel is straight.
5. Drive Slowly: Slowly and steadily drive your vehicle up the ramps. Maintain a consistent, low speed. It is highly recommended to have another person observe and guide the driver during this process to ensure proper alignment and prevent overshooting.
6. Secure Vehicle (if applicable): Once the vehicle is properly positioned on the lift or platform, engage the lift’s safety locks and follow the lift manufacturer’s guidelines for securing the vehicle. If working under the vehicle, always use appropriate jack stands as an additional safety measure.
7. Drive Off: When finished, slowly and steadily drive the vehicle down the ramps, again maintaining a straight steering wheel.
