Installation Guide for Joining Heeve® Driveway Rubber Kerb Ramps

Before You Begin

Ensure the installation area is clean and free from debris. Sweep the gutter, kerb, and road surface to provide a stable base and prevent movement once installed.

Option 1: Position the Ramps

Each 22 kg Heeve® Ramp is heavy enough to stay securely in place yet light enough to move when needed. Simply position each section where desired. For a more permanent setup, continue with options 2 and 3.

Option 2: Join Multiple Sections

Each Heeve® Solid 1.2m Rolled Edge Kerb Ramp includes galvanised bolts and nuts for joining. These lock sections together through pre-drilled holes, creating a smooth, continuous surface.

Tools Required:

  • Hammer or mallet
  • Pliers 
  • 13 mm socket and ratchet
Image shows four common hand tools required for the kerb ramp installation: a Hammer, Pliers, a 13mm Spanner (wrench), and a 13mm Socket with Ratchet.

Step 1. Position the Ramps

Lay all sections in the gutter, centred across your driveway.

Step 2. Flip and Align

Turn the ramps upside down so the undersides face up. Align sections tightly end-to-end.

Step 3. Insert Bolts

Tap bolts through the joining holes using a hammer.

Step 4. Fit Nuts

Hand-tighten each nut. Use a wooden block underneath if extra clearance is needed.

Step 5. Tighten Securely

With a 13 mm socket, tighten until the sections pull snugly together.
(Note: Joined ramps may weigh 66–88 kg. Two people are recommended for handling.)

Step 6. Flip and Position

Turn the ramp upright, aligning the top edge with the kerb. Adjust as needed until even.

Now that each section is bolted together, you can have the assurance that the device will stay in place and secured from any ramp theft and only minor adjustments are required. Over time, you may find a need to reposition the ramp right or left for easier maneuvering up and down your driveway. To reposition, just pull on one end or the other.

 

Option 3: Fix Your Ramps to the Ground (Permanent Installation)

For maximum security and to prevent theft, you can bolt your ramps directly to the ground using the four pre-drilled holes on each section. Use Heeve® Sleeve Anchor Bolts for Ramps, included with your ramp or available separately if needed.

Note: Local regulations for kerb ramps can vary. Check the Australian Government’s Local Council Directory to find your council and confirm installation requirements in your area.

Hi Steve! It would depend on the actual kerb. One of the main reasons why we request for photos of your driveway is to better access the kerb and see all possible options for you.

Ramp Champ,

It’s refreshing to see such an informative piece that breaks down the complexities surrounding installation regulations, especially for those looking to enhance accessibility at home. The emphasis on compliance with local council guidelines is crucial, as it ensures safety and avoids potential fines.

Ramp Champ,

What can you recommend for the herb types you’ve described as unsuitable for the Heeve?

Scott Robinson,

Hi Steve,

We don’t install however, a local builder can help you with installation. It is also recommended to seek council approval before installing anything permanently on public roads.

Ramp Champ,

Do you install these ramps, and if not can you recommend someone.

Thanks

Steve
