Race Ramps 2-Pack RR-WC-12-2 Car Wheel Cribs - Lightweight 12in Lift

In this review the Race Ramps 2-Pack RR-WC-12-2 wheel cribs are examined for home garage and light professional use; they are aimed at anyone who needs a safer, lighter alternative to metal jack stands for routine maintenance. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 3,000 lb support capacity per set with a 100% solid high-density foam construction that is both lightweight and non-scratch, making the cribs easy to position and safe to use under a vehicle when placed correctly with a jack.

Key Features

• 100% solid high-density foam: Provides a durable, non-marring surface that protects rims and undercarriage components while supporting vehicle weight.
• Traction coating: Helps keep tires seated and resists slipping during placement and use, increasing workplace safety.
• Split design: Lets users configure the set as two cribs at 12in or split into four lower cribs for flexible lift heights during varied jobs.
• Lightweight portability: Each crib weighs only 7-10 lb, so carrying and positioning multiple cribs is easy even in tight garage spaces.
• High load capacity: Each complete set supports up to 3,000 lb, suitable for many cars and light trucks when used as directed with a jack.

Who It's For

The Race Ramps wheel cribs are best for DIY mechanics, small shop owners, and garage hobbyists who perform oil changes, transmission or rear end fluid work, and other undercarriage maintenance where a stable, non-scratching support is desired. They are particularly useful when portability and quick setup matter, or when jack stands feel cumbersome.

Those who should look elsewhere include owners of very large trucks or vehicles that exceed the stated tire and weight accommodations, and users who need an independent lift method without using a jack during placement, since the product requires a jack to position the cribs safely.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Lightweight and easy to carry, making setup and storage simple.
• Non-scratch foam construction protects wheels and paint compared with metal stands.
• Split, stackable design offers multiple lift height options for different jobs.
• Customers report strong perceived stability and safety for routine maintenance tasks.

Cons

• Requires use of a jack to place under the wheel, so it is not a standalone lifting device.
• Designed for tires up to 12in wide and 25-30in diameter, so larger tires will not fit.
