Heavy-Duty Wooden Auto Ramps – Digital Plans Download

$5.00

The Safest, Easiest Way to Lift Your Car is to Drive It Up.

The Problem: Getting your car in the air for routine maintenance shouldn't feel like a gamble. Hydraulic jacks can fail, jack stands are a pain to position, and cheap plastic ramps often slide across the garage floor or crack under pressure. You need a solution that is rock-solid and ready in seconds.

The Solution: Build your own Solid Wood Service Ramps with plans from The Garage Engineer.

These digital blueprints guide you through building a set of heavy-duty, solid lumber ramps. Designed with a 6-inch rise, they provide the perfect clearance for oil changes, inspections, and detailing without the hassle of hydraulics.

Why These Plans?

  • Integrated Safety Stop: The design features a built-in "stop block" at the top of the ramp, giving you tactile feedback so you know exactly when to stop driving—preventing over-travel.

  • Material Efficiency: These plans are optimized for cost and simplicity. You only need one standard 2" x 12" x 12' board per ramp.

  • Wide Tire Platform: Utilizing 2x12 lumber means a wider surface area for your tires, providing superior stability compared to narrow 2x4 stack designs.

  • Instant Access: No pumping jacks. No crawling on the floor. Just place them, drive up, and get to work.
