Eliminate Scraping with a Driveway Curb Ramp

If your car scrapes the bottom every time you pull in or out of your driveway, you're not alone. Many neighborhoods have rolled curbs that create a harsh incline between the street and the driveway, making it difficult for low-clearance vehicles to pass over without damage. A driveway curb ramp is the perfect solution to smooth out that transition and prevent expensive repairs to your vehicle’s undercarriage.

Why You Need a Driveway Curb Ramp

A curb ramp isn’t just about comfort—it’s about protecting your vehicle from unnecessary wear and tear. If you drive a car with low ground clearance, such as a sports car, luxury sedan, or electric vehicle, rolling over a steep curb can damage your:

  • Front bumper – The impact can crack or scrape the lower fascia.
  • Oil pan – A sudden hit can cause leaks or punctures.
  • Exhaust system – The underside of your car takes a beating each time it scrapes.
  • Suspension and alignment – The constant jolt from a curb can throw off your suspension over time.

A driveway curb ramp creates a gentle slope, eliminating the risk of scraping and making every entry and exit smooth.

Not All Curbs Are the Same – Measure Before You Buy

Driveway curbs vary in size, so you’ll need to measure your curb to ensure the ramp will fit properly. Here’s how:

  1. Position a rigid object along the curb – Use a straight, rigid item like a piece of scrap lumber or a long level. Rest one end at the top of the curb and let the other end extend down to the street side of the curb or street surface.
  2. Find the lowest point of the gutter – Look at about the center of your 20-inch measurement and identify the deepest part of the gutter.
  3. Measure the gap – Take a measurement from the bottom of your stick (or level) down to the lowest point of the gutter, keeping the measuring tape perpendicular to the stick.
  4. Check your fit – This measurement must be between 1.75 inches and 3 inches for the curb ramp to fit correctly.

If your curb is outside of this range, the ramp may not sit properly, which could affect its performance.

Easy Installation – No Concrete Bolting Required

Installing the curb ramp is quick and simple, with no need for concrete bolting:

  • Lay the pieces upside down on the sidewalk next to the curb.
  • Bolt the sections together using the included hardware.
  • Flip the ramp over by rolling it toward the curb until it’s in place.

Since a 12-foot section weighs about 150 lbs, it stays securely in place without the need for permanent mounting.

Water Flow & Drainage

The ramp features a built-in gap on the bottom, allowing water to flow freely through the gutter. This ensures that rainwater and drainage systems are not obstructed while still providing a smooth driveway entrance.

A Simple Fix for a Frustrating Problem

A driveway curb ramp is an easy, long-term solution that saves your car from damage and makes every entry and exit smoother and safer. With a simple installation, you can protect your vehicle and eliminate the hassle of scraping over your driveway curb every day.
