Which driveway ramp suits your kerb?

Every kerb ramp decision comes down to three measurements and one shape. Get those and the rest is straightforward.

The shape: rolled edge, layback, or straight kerb. Stand at the kerb and look at the profile from the side. A rolled edge curves. A layback slopes. A straight kerb is a square face.

The height: road surface to the top of the kerb, measured where the wheels cross.

The width: how far across you need to cover. The modular ramps come in 1m and 1.2m sections that bolt together, with bends for a curved kerb and end modules to taper the sides so nobody trips on them.

Rubber or steel?

Rubber for almost everything. It grips, it does not rust, it is quiet under a wheel, and the recycled rubber ramps carry the heaviest ratings in the range at up to 10,000kg.

Steel kerb plates are the exception. They are 38.5mm thin, which is the answer when the kerb is shallow and a rubber ramp would sit too proud, and they come with a handle so they can be lifted in and out. Rated to 2,500kg, so a car or a light van, not a truck.

Do you need council approval?

Usually yes if the ramp stays on the kerb permanently, because the kerb and the gutter are council property, not yours. Rules differ by council, so ask before you fix anything down.

The two things they almost always ask about are drainage and trip hazard. A ramp with stormwater channels underneath and tapered end modules on the sides answers both, which is why the modular range is set up that way.

A portable ramp that lifts out when you are done is generally a different conversation, because nothing is fixed to public land.

Delivery on kerb ramps

Rubber kerb ramps are heavy and they ship on a pallet, so they carry a flat delivery rate rather than a live freight quote. You will see the exact figure at checkout before you pay.

If you need a full driveway width, tell us the total run and we will work out the sections, bends and end modules and quote the lot together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a kerb ramp, a driveway ramp and a gutter ramp?

They are mostly the same thing called three different names. Kerb ramp is the trade word. Driveway ramp is what most people search for. Gutter ramp usually means the shallower profile that sits in the channel rather than over the whole kerb.

What actually matters is the shape of your kerb, not the name. A rolled edge kerb is the rounded one. A layback is the angled section a driveway already crosses. A straight kerb is the square-faced one. We stock ramps cut for all three, so measure the kerb first and pick from there.

Do I need a rolled edge ramp or a layback ramp?

Look at where the kerb meets the road. If it curves over in a smooth arc, that is a rolled edge and you want a rolled-edge ramp. If it drops away at an angle, usually because a driveway already crosses it, that is a layback.

Getting it wrong is the most common reason a ramp rocks or sits proud. The rubber profile is cut to match one shape or the other, so a rolled-edge ramp on a layback kerb will never sit flat.

Will a rubber driveway ramp block the gutter when it rains?

Not if you get the right one. Most of the rubber kerb and driveway ramps we stock are moulded with a water channel underneath, so stormwater keeps running along the gutter instead of banking up behind the ramp. The product page says so where it applies.

One to know about: on the Barrier Group gutter ramp the channel is 12 x 70mm and you trim the cover panels off the ends to open it up. Easy to miss if you do not read the instructions.

This is worth getting right because drainage is the single most common reason a council or a body corporate objects. A solid slab of rubber with nothing under it will dam the gutter, and that is what causes the complaint.

How high a kerb will these ramps handle?

Our kerb and driveway ramps run from 38.5mm for a steel kerb plate up to 120mm for the portable trolley ramp, with most of the rubber range sitting at 60mm to 110mm.

Measure from the road surface to the top of the kerb, at the exact spot the wheels will cross. Kerbs are rarely a consistent height along their length, so measure where you actually drive, not at the corner.

How much weight can a rubber kerb ramp take?

More than most people expect. The rolled-edge rubber ramps are rated to 10,000kg, the straight-kerb ramps to 5,000kg, the high-vis modular end sections to 20,000kg, and the galvanised steel kerb plate to 2,500kg.

So a car, a van, a loaded trailer or a truck is not the question. The question is the kerb profile and the height. Get those right and capacity looks after itself.
