Cougar Wide Ramp 2500kg 2.5 Tonne Pair Capacity Car Van Vehicle Accessory

Heavy duty

Supported my vehicle as it should. Not a fault but I would have thought welding the vermicelli supports would be better on the inside of the angle iron than the outer. In the event of a weld failure the upright would rest on the base rather than lose all its strength. I will keep an eye on it. If it was being used a lot I might return it. Read full review

You get what you pay for.

Straight to the point; I wouldn’t trust these ramps with 2.5t on them!

Before I worked under my 4x4 (2.3t), I made sure I used good quality wheel chicks and axle stands.

The angle-iron is too smaller a gauge to be ‘heavy duty’, the welding is very ‘blobby’ and ‘unfinished’, almost as if it’s just tacked together and yet to be welded properly.

Extra wide? I’d hate to see the standard sized ones then! My Jeep with standard tyres on hand over both sides of the ramp. You have to be very accurate and very careful when putting your vehicle on them.

Beware the random sharp edges: use decent work gloves to grab these ramps or you will draw blood. Numerous times. Don’t ask me how I know this ..........

As a positive, they were very cheap compared to the competition. Because they are very ‘cheap’ ..........

It’s difficult for me to recommend these.Read full review

OK for small light vehicles

The packaging for this product was all but useless, a fairly heavy item in a flimsy large cardboard box is not going to work. Items were not damaged luckily, but must have been very awkward for the carrier to deliver.

Product works OK , but quality isn`t great, welds are messy and some very sharp edges, which I buffed down with a file. Ramps are not very wide, anything over 185 tyre size will likely overhang, and the ramps tend to slip easily when driving up on to them.
I used some old railway sleepers under them to get a bit of grip which worked out OK, this also increased the height clearance, other wise it would be a bit of a squeeze to get under the car, even if small build.

I would only use these for small cars, they may be suitable for bigger vehicles, but I am not convinced.
Also NO instructions or tips on safety with these at all, which I feel is essential, I have used ramps before, so I know how to be careful, but others may not.Read full review

Great value and does the job

These work fine for me, could be better. I had to use a high lift jack to get my car onto them its too low to drive up but that would be the case for all ramps. If I had any recommendations it would be that they are a little narrow for today’s tyres - mine overlap both side, and also that the part the tyre rests in is very short for large diameter wheels - you only just get to top of ramp before hitting the stop. Finally the steel is quite thin gauge - nothing like the old ones used to be, so only for small cars. Think a Range Rover or similar would crush them flat so check you cars weight before getting under them. I couldn’t find anything better for sale !Read full review

Should have looked at reviews first.

After I placed and paid for these, I checked other reviews and found a mixed bag. I thought some people were just being a bit harsh regarding quality and finish. First hand experience is always best I thought. The units arrived fast, and im not surprised, as mine arrived with areas of rust already on a few areas. They appear strong, but the welds are badly done, and so is the finish. My Vectra is 1550 in weight, so at 2 and half tons rating, they should be safe. But i'll drive up these with caution. If I hear the slightest creak, i'll be dumping them and buying something better. I'm the one who will be underneath the car working.
Before I use them though, i'll be sanding off all the sharp edges of the welds (some are razor sharp) and giving them a good coat of hammerite or I doubt they wont survive the elements. I'm not surprised some have considered sending theirs to trading standards as they do seem a bit of a bodge job. I wonder if the seller has taken these points up with whoever makes these or in fact have actually used the ramps. Read full review

Good quality but with a design flaw

These ramps are of good quality and the extensions work well with low cars - such as my Ford Focus, BUT they are unstable and for this reason I am wary of recommending them.
The front edge (below the stop bar) is vertical; when I drove up them and the tyres met the stop bar the ramps tipped up - the ramp end jamming under the sill. I had to back off a bit to bring them back to the ground. I have other ramps, on those the base extends further forward than the top and the stop bar, meaning they don't tip.
These could be good but need a design modification - the front should slope forward to a longer base.
Use with care. Read full review

Better than i expected, mine are Strong, Sturdy and safe to use, great item for the price, perfect for use on my 4x4.

After reading several reviews of this item on various sites i was hesitant whether to purchase or not, but i took the plunge and got them, i am pleased i did, they are fantastic, good quality for the price, strong and do the job, i have a 4x4 (Landrover) and they are fine for that.Read full review

Ok for price, but check size.

As others have said, build quality not the best with loads of weld splatter but for the price that is to be expected. I cannot see though how 21cm wide is classed as extra wide, to me that is misleading as most car ramps are around this width and they are not very tall. Overall though, price alone makes them worthwhile, particularly with free delivery.Read full review

Stout and good value

Looks sturdy and reasonably well made. I might put some more paint on them as they will spend most of their life outdoors. One star lost because none of my cars can drive onto the ramps due to to the steep angle. The bottom edge of the bumper apron fouls the ramp. This is not an insoluble problem but is a minor inconvenience.Read full review

Simple and safe to use.

just the right height, sturdy and well finished. Proved themselves this last week when I did the oil and filter swap on my 2 tonne shogun.
