ABSTRACT:
The extension ramp is suitable for use with a car ramp having a raised platform portion for supporting a car wheel and a downwardly elongated sloped portion connected thereto, the sloped portion having a given inclination with respect to the platform portion. The extension ramp comprises a substantially elongated straight portion having a free end mountable along the sloped portion of the car ramp and a slanted portion connected to a second end of the straight portion and forming an obtuse angle with the straight portion. The slanted and straight portions are defining together a passage for a car wheel and the slanted portion has a free end for laying on the ground and for receiving the car wheel. The free end of the straight portion is securable along the sloped portion of the car ramp, whereby the extension ramp is mountable on the car ramp for lowering the inclination of the sloped portion of the car ramp. Advantageously, a combination of a conventional car ramp with an extension ramp according to the present invention is suitable for lifting any types of vehicles or car models, even those with low clearance. It also has a practical size, it is very easy to assemble and it is safe to use. Moreover, this combination has a very high load capacity, especially if the car ramp and the extension ramp are made of high strength metal.
