Dog Ramp 180cm for Large Dogs, 113kg capacity 🐾
Description:
This extra-long dog ramp offers a gentle slope for pets that need an easier way to reach cars, sofas or beds, reducing joint strain and assisting elderly or injured animals. With a 180 cm length it lowers the angle of ascent, helping larger breeds climb more comfortably while remaining compact when folded for transport.
Key Points
The ramp is constructed from thickened aluminium to provide a stable platform that, according to the manufacturer, supports dogs up to 113 kg. Its padded surface is overlaid with silicone anti-slip strips to improve traction and protect paws from abrasion. The design folds into four sections and includes a padded carry handle, making it practical to store and move between home, vehicle and outdoor use. Note that the ramp should be placed on the ground and opened with both hands for safe deployment.

Benefits
A longer ramp creates a shallower incline, which can significantly decrease the impact on hips and knees when a dog climbs into a vehicle or onto elevated furniture. This can be particularly helpful for senior pets or those recovering from surgery, as the gentler gradient reduces muscular effort. The anti-slip silicone bands add confidence for pets that are hesitant on smooth surfaces and help maintain a steady pace as they ascend or descend.
The aluminium frame keeps the ramp lightweight yet robust, so it can be carried by a single person without undue strain. Its folding format allows for discreet storage in a van, SUV boot or household cupboard. For owners who travel with their pets, the compact folded size and integrated handle make it easy to take along.
Usage Recommendations
Place the ramp on a flat, stable surface and ensure the top rests securely against the vehicle edge or furniture before allowing the pet to use it. Encourage your dog with gentle guidance and, if needed, treats to help build confidence while first learning to use the ramp. For particularly nervous or very large dogs, practise short sessions at home on lower surfaces before moving to higher vehicles.
Consider that the ramp is heavier than small, single-panel alternatives due to its durable aluminium build, which may not suit handlers with very limited lifting ability. Also, while the anti-slip surface improves grip in dry conditions, extra caution is advisable in heavy rain or on muddy paws to maintain safety.
