  • Patent number: 7104524
    Abstract: A vehicle ramp for raising a vehicle wheel having an incline component and a separate but interlockable elevated wheel support component. The incline component can be removed while the vehicle wheel is resting on the corresponding elevated wheel support component. The elevated wheel support component has an adjustable chock. In addition to a rear stop on an end, a chock with a raised section helps keep the vehicle wheel from rolling off the top horizontal surface. The removal of the incline component while the vehicle rests on the elevated wheel support component is accomplished with an interlocking member that does not extend the entire height of the interlocking sides of the primary components. Hand grips or handles can be formed in recesses of the sides of each component.
