Abstract
A vehicle ramp supports a wheel in an elevated position spaced above the ground. The vehicle ramp includes an elongated body and an upright column. The upright column is substantially surrounded by the body. The column presents respective parts of the upper surface of the vehicle ramp and extends downwardly therefrom. The column is defined along the upper surface by a groove that intersects the upper surface and extends endlessly about the column so that the column is isolated from the body along the upper surface.
