FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of these ramps?
The VonHaus Loading Ramps have a maximum weight capacity of 400kg (880 lbs) when both ramps are used together.
Can I use these ramps to load my car or a heavy truck?
No, these ramps are specifically designed for lighter vehicles and machinery up to 400kg, such as motorbikes, quad bikes, mobility scooters, and garden equipment. They are not suitable for cars, trucks, or other heavy vehicles.
How wide a tire can these ramps accommodate?
Each ramp can accommodate wheels up to 22cm (8.6 inches) wide.
Are safety straps included with the ramps?
Yes, safety straps are included to help secure the ramps during use and prevent accidental slippage.
Are the ramps resistant to rust?
Yes, the ramps are constructed from heavy-duty A3 steel with a galvanised finish, which provides excellent wear and rust resistance. However, for maximum longevity, it's recommended to clean and store them in a dry place.
How should I store the ramps when not in use?
The ramps feature a portable, foldable design with a convenient carry handle. They should be folded and stored in a dry, protected environment, such as a garage, shed, or the back of a van, to prevent exposure to harsh weather.
What material are the ramps made from?
The ramps are made from heavy-duty A3 steel, finished with a protective galvanised coating for durability and resistance.
Troubleshooting
Ramps feel unstable or shift during use.
Ensure the safety straps are correctly attached to both the ramps and a secure anchor point on your vehicle, and are pulled taut. Verify the ground surface is firm and level, and the ramps are positioned symmetrically and firmly against the loading surface.
Vehicle experiences slippage on the ramp surface.
Check that the non-slip ridges are clean and clear of mud, oil, or debris. Ensure the ramps themselves are dry. Approach the ramps slowly and steadily, maintaining a consistent speed. Avoid sudden acceleration or braking on the ramps.
Difficulty folding or unfolding the ramps.
Inspect the hinges for any obstructions like dirt or bent components. Apply a small amount of lubricating spray to the hinge mechanisms if they are stiff, ensuring not to get lubricant on the non-slip surfaces.
Rust spots appear despite the galvanised finish.
While galvanised, prolonged exposure to moisture or corrosive substances can still cause surface rust. Clean any rust spots immediately with a wire brush and apply a rust-inhibiting primer and paint. Always store the ramps in a dry, protected environment.

Care
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the ramps with a damp cloth to remove dirt, mud, or debris. For stubborn grime, a mild soap solution can be used.
- Drying: Ensure the ramps are completely dry before folding and storing to maintain the galvanised finish and prevent water spots or potential corrosion.
