Cougar car ramps: understand the range before choosing
The present Cougar range contains two steel car-ramp pairs and one pair of approach extensions. CR2 standard ramps are listed at 2,000 kg capacity per pair; CRW25 wide ramps at 2,500 kg per pair. RM1 extensions reduce the approach angle for lower-clearance vehicles but are not independent supports and do not increase either ramp pair's capacity, platform width or stability.
AutoMotoPart currently lists 3 Cougar car ramps items. The largest Cougar car ramps groups are 2 load-bearing ramp-pair entries and 1 extension-pair entry. Cougar car ramps totals can change, so a category count is orientation rather than proof that a particular reference suits a vehicle, workplace or job. The exact Cougar car ramps listing, its current technical information and the item in front of you must agree.
What the Cougar car ramps page actually covers
| Product group in this range | Current entries | Selection focus |
|---|---|---|
| Car ramps and approach extensions | 3 | Match actual pair load, tyre/platform width, approach, crest/underbody clearance, hard level ground and compatible extensions; chock before access. |
CR2 and CRW25 are complete load-bearing pairs with different capacities and 180 versus 205 mm platforms. RM1 is an approach accessory supplied as a pair. Keep both members of each pair together and never mix a standard ramp with a wide ramp or use an extension as a wheel support.
Build a reliable shortlist
Record vehicle mass distribution rather than relying on total kerb weight. Determine which axle will be raised and its loaded axle mass, tyre width/contact position, front/rear overhang, wheelbase and minimum clearance along the entire approach. Confirm the task can be completed safely with wheels still supported.
| Check | Why it matters | Useful evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Load | The pair carries an axle/wheel load that may differ greatly from total vehicle mass | Plated/measured axle mass and Cougar pair capacity |
| Tyre/platform | 180 or 205 mm platform must support and locate the actual tyre safely | Tyre section/contact, sidewall position and centring |
| Approach | Bumper, splitter, sill or undertray can contact before tyres climb | Overhang, wheelbase, ramp angle and RM1 dry layout |
| Surface | Soft, sloped, oily or uneven ground can let a ramp sink, slide or twist | Hard level floor, cleanliness and full base contact |
| Restraint | Vehicles can roll or drive over/tip ramps after climbing | Slow approach, stop position, Park/gear, brake and wheel chocks |
| Underbody work | Suspension/vehicle movement can crush a person | Proper support, air-suspension prop and safe exit route |
If the axle load, pair rating, tyre support or approach clearance cannot be proved, do not trial by driving faster or adding makeshift packing. Use a suitable lift, different approved ramp system or another method selected by a competent person.
CR2 standard pair: 2,000 kg and 180 mm platform
The standard pair is reference CR2. The live evidence gives each ramp as 810 mm long, 245 mm overall wide and 250 mm high, with the wheel platform only 180 mm wide; pair weight is 9.5 kg and capacity is 2,000 kg per pair. The narrower platform is the key compatibility limit for modern wide tyres.
Do not judge tyre support from nominal section width alone: sidewall profile and actual tread contact matter, and the wheel must remain centred throughout the climb. A tyre that hangs over, rubs a raised side or cannot sit squarely on the top deck needs the wider system or another support method. Never offset a ramp to make one edge look acceptable.
CRW25 wide pair: 2,500 kg and 205 mm platform
CRW25 is the wide pair. Its stated dimensions are 810 × 275 × 250 mm with a 205 mm platform, 10.5 kg pair weight and 2,500 kg capacity per pair. The extra 25 mm of platform width and higher pair rating do not automatically make it suitable for every SUV, van, EV or wide tyre.
Heavy vehicles can have uneven front/rear and side-to-side loading, especially with batteries, engines, cargo or conversions. Use a reliable axle load and keep within every Cougar condition. Check that the top platform is long enough for the tyre to settle before the stop without the vehicle's momentum pitching or tipping the ramp.
RM1 extensions change angle—not capacity
The live RM1 entry is a pair of low-clearance approach extensions at 500 mm long, 120 mm wide and 25 mm high. A current specialist listing gives approximately 510 mm length, so compare the physical accessory and current instructions rather than treating ten millimetres as a universal specification. It is described for use with Cougar ramps.
Lay each extension in the intended engagement and verify it cannot rock or separate during approach. Its 120 mm width is narrower than either ramp platform, so alignment is critical. Check bumper clearance at first contact, underbody clearance while climbing and break-over clearance at the crest. Stop immediately if anything contacts; an extension cannot make an unsuitable geometry safe.
Drive on slowly without slide, overrun or tipping
Sweep and dry the floor and bases, set ramps square to the tyre paths and confirm equal spacing. Clear tools and people. The driver should be seated normally with full control and a guide should stand to the side in a visible safe position—not in front, behind or between wheel and ramp. Use minimal steady power; spinning tyres or a run-up can eject a ramp.
As both tyres reach the level platforms, stop before loading the end stops with momentum. If one tyre arrives first, do not correct while perched; reverse down slowly and reset. After parking and chocking, push-check only from a safe exterior position for movement. Any lifted base, deformation, creak or misalignment means no access underneath.
Secure the raised vehicle before anyone goes below
Apply the parking brake and the transmission/gear condition specified for the vehicle, switch off, remove/control the key and chock the wheels left on the floor in both possible directions. Confirm the ramps carry the tyres centrally and have not moved. Prevent another person from entering or starting the vehicle while work is underway.
Never rely on a jack, loose blocks or a person holding a brake. HSE requires correct rated equipment, firm level ground, chocked ground wheels and proper support. Air suspension must be positively propped by the approved method because leakage or control action can reduce clearance. Keep an exit path and do not carry out forceful work that could drive the vehicle along or sideways off the ramps.
From identification to a checked result
| Stage | Good practice for this range | Mistake to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Calculate | Confirm raised axle load, tyre/platform fit and vehicle geometry | Using total vehicle wording as the only load check |
| Inspect/set | Check pair, welds/stops/extensions and full contact on level floor | Using mixed, bent, rusty or packed-up ramps |
| Approach | Align straight, clear people and climb slowly with a safe guide | Taking a run-up, steering on the incline or spinning tyres |
| Secure | Stop centred, brake, select Park/gear, switch off and chock | Using the end stops as the only roll restraint |
| Work/exit | Verify support, control keys, avoid destabilising forces and reverse slowly | Going under after any shift, tip, overhang or uncertain support |
Record the Cougar reference/pair, inspection, loaded vehicle/axle, floor location and chock/support setup for workplace use. Keep ramp pairs marked together and quarantine both after overload, impact, tipping, visible distortion or a cracked weld.
Reading real Cougar car ramps references
The Cougar car ramps names below are examples from the current range and show why the complete description matters. They are not universal Cougar car ramps recommendations and should not be treated as a fitment list. Within Cougar car ramps, a shared family word can conceal a different dimension, connector, material, pack format, operating condition or installation side.
| Example listing | What to verify beyond the name |
|---|---|
| Standard Car Ramp - 2 Tonne - Pair | CR2 pair, 2,000 kg/pair, 810 × 245 × 250 mm, 180 mm platform and actual axle/tyre fit |
| Car Ramp Extensions - Pair | RM1 pair, 500 × 120 × 25 mm live dimensions, positive engagement and full approach/crest clearance |
| Wide Car Ramp - 2.5 Tonne - Pair | CRW25 pair, 2,500 kg/pair, 810 × 275 × 250 mm, 205 mm platform and unequal-load check |
Capacity belongs to the complete matching pair under its stated conditions. Dimensions must be read as length × overall width × height, with the separate platform width controlling tyre support. RM1 carries no independent vehicle capacity in the live record.
Common errors around Cougar car ramps products
- Treating a pair rating as a guaranteed single-ramp or whole-vehicle capacity.
- Ignoring front/rear axle load, side-to-side imbalance or tyre overhang.
- Using ramps on soft, sloping, oily, cracked or uneven ground.
- Packing with timber, bricks or loose plates to change height or angle.
- Taking a run-up, steering on the ramp or driving hard into the end stops.
- Assuming RM1 extensions increase load rating, platform width or crest clearance.
- Failing to chock ground wheels and control vehicle keys before access.
- Crawling beneath air suspension or any vehicle that is not positively supported.

A: 2,000 kg per matching pair, subject to load, ground, condition and use requirements.
Q: What are CR2's dimensions?
A: 810 mm long, 245 mm overall wide and 250 mm high, with a 180 mm wheel platform.
Q: What is CRW25's stated capacity?
A: 2,500 kg per matching wide-ramp pair, not a universal vehicle recommendation.
Q: What are CRW25's dimensions?
A: 810 × 275 × 250 mm with a 205 mm platform in the live evidence.
Q: Do pair capacities equal permissible vehicle weight?
A: Not necessarily. Confirm the actual axle/wheel load placed on the pair and any load-distribution conditions.
Q: What do RM1 extensions do?
A: They create a shallower initial approach for lower-clearance vehicles when correctly engaged with Cougar ramps.
Q: Do extensions raise capacity?
A: No. They do not increase pair rating, platform width or support height.
Q: Can timber or bricks level a ramp?
A: No. Move to a hard level floor and never improvise packing beneath or around the ramps.
Q: How should a vehicle climb the ramps?
A: Straight, slowly and evenly with the route clear and a guide positioned outside the crush path where needed.
Q: What secures the vehicle at the top?
A: Correct tyre position, parking brake, Park/gear as specified, engine off, key control and secure chocks on ground wheels.
Q: Can someone work underneath immediately?
A: Only after verifying rated, undamaged and stable support; never under an unchocked, shifted or unpropped air-suspension vehicle.
