Levelling ramp assembly
A levelling ramp assembly having a ramp for supporting a wheel; the ramp having one or more ramp attachment elements located on the ramp face. At least one chock is provided for engaging a wheel whilst on the ramp. The chock having a one or more chock attachment elements located on the chock face such that the ramp attachment elements and chock attachment elements engage to hold the ramp and the chock together.
1. A levelling ramp assembly comprising:
a ramp for supporting a wheel; the ramp has a top ramp face, a bottom ramp face, an end ramp face and two spaced-apart side ramp faces connecting the top ramp face, the bottom ramp face and the end ramp face, the top ramp face being inclined with respect to the bottom ramp face; one or more ramp attachment elements are located on the end ramp face; and a multiplicity of ramp locking elements are located along a length of the top ramp face;
at least one chock for engaging a wheel whilst on the ramp; the chock having a top chock face, a bottom chock face, an end chock face and two spaced-apart side chock faces connecting the top chock face, the bottom chock face and the end chock face; one or more chock attachment elements are located on the bottom chock face; and one or more chock locking elements are located along a length of the bottom chock face;
wherein in a first configuration the ramp attachment elements and chock attachment elements engage to hold the end ramp face and the bottom chock face together and in a second configuration the ramp locking elements and the chock locking elements engage with each other to lock the bottom chock face to the top ramp face.
2. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein the levelling ramp assembly has only a single chock.
3. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein the ramp attachment elements slide transversely sideways with respect to the chock attachment elements to attach the ramp to the chock.
4. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein the ramp attachment elements slide transversely sideways with respect to the chock attachment to remove the ramp from the chock.
5. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein the ramp attachment elements are located at different heights on the end ramp face.
6. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein the chock attachment elements are located at different heights on the bottom chock face.
7. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein a groove is located within each of the one or more ramp attachment elements and a tab is located within each of the one or more chock attachment elements, the tab and the groove co-operating to hold the ramp attachment elements and chock attachment elements together.
8. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein the ramp locking elements are formed along a strip that extends adjacent a middle of the top ramp face.
9. The levelling ramp of claim 1 wherein the ramp includes one or more ramp connecting elements, the ramp connecting elements being used to connect two ramps together.
10. The levelling ramp of claim 9 wherein the levelling ramp assembly includes one or more plates.
11. The levelling ramp of claim 10 wherein the plates are removably attached to the ramp, the ramp including one or more ramp joining elements to join the plates to the ramp.
12. The levelling ramp of claim 11 each plate includes one or more plate joining elements to connect one plate to another plate.
