Wheel cribs for winter storage, detailing, and flat-spot prevention

Race Ramps wheel cribs support the vehicle by its tires instead of by the frame. That means no jack stands under the pinch welds, no lift arms under the chassis, and no flat-spotting during long-term storage. Nine models cover standard cars, wide-wheel supercars, dually trucks, and show display.

Popular picks: 10-inch Multi-Purpose ($215) for winter storage on a garage floor, 12-inch Supercar ($245) for wider Corvette and Porsche wheels, and 12-inch Show Cribs ($257) for cruise-ins and car shows. All 100% solid molded polyurethane foam, made in Michigan, USA.

Who buys these? Weekend garage hobbyists who tuck a summer car away for winter and don't want flat spots in April. Car collectors and enthusiasts storing multiple vehicles long-term where jack stands aren't practical. Detailers who need clean, presentable support under wheels for wash, wax, ceramic coating, and PPF work. Restoration shops where the car sits for months during paint or body work. Wheel and tire shops that need the wheels supporting the car for service and mount/balance jobs.

Cribs are the right tool when the wheels need to stay on the car and the tires need to bear the load. Sold in sets of 2 (buy two sets for a full 4-corner storage setup) or the 4-piece Crib Cruisers which include heavy-duty casters for rolling the car around the garage. Non-slip textured surface, weatherproof, and backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Free U.S. shipping.

Why use wheel cribs

Four reasons cribs beat jack stands and standard storage.

FLAT

Prevents tire flat-spotting

Long-term storage on the tires creates permanent flat spots. Cribs distribute the load and keep the tire round.

FOAM

Solid polyurethane foam

100% solid molded construction. Non-slip surface. Won't rust, crack, or dent. Loads 1,500-3,000 lb per crib.

SAFE

Supports by the wheels

Load goes through the tire and wheel, not the chassis or pinch welds. Safer for the car and easier to set up than jack stands.

1YR

1-Year warranty

Every Race Ramp carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects.

WINTER
STORAGE

Winterizing your car? Cribs prevent flat-spotting

Tires develop permanent flat spots when a vehicle sits in one position for months on end. Wheel cribs distribute the load across the tread and keep the tire round through the off-season. Buy a set for each corner (typically two sets of 2 for a 4-wheel setup, or the 4-piece Crib Cruisers) and roll the car onto them for storage.

Wheel Crib FAQs

Common questions on Race Ramps solid foam wheel cribs.

What are wheel cribs used for?

Three main uses: (1) long-term winter storage to prevent tire flat-spotting, (2) tire and wheel service where you need the wheels supporting the car without touching the chassis, and (3) show-car display at cruise-ins and dealer lots.

How many wheel cribs do I need to store a car?

Four cribs total: one under each tire. Most Multi-Purpose and Supercar models are sold as sets of 2, so you'd buy two sets for a 4-wheel setup. The Crib Cruisers ship as a set of 4.

Multi-Purpose vs Supercar cribs?

Multi-Purpose cribs have standard spacing for most stock-width tires. Supercar cribs have narrower spacing for wider aftermarket wheels (Corvette, Porsche, GT-R). If your tire barely fits between the rails of a Multi-Purpose crib, buy Supercar.

Do wheel cribs prevent flat spots?

Yes. Cribs distribute the tire's contact patch load across the flat top surface instead of a single point on the ground. Keeps the tire round through winter storage.

Wheel cribs vs jack stands?

Different tools. Jack stands support the vehicle by the frame or pinch welds for wheel-off work. Cribs support by the wheels for storage, tire service, and any job where wheels stay on. Cribs are also faster to set up.

What are Crib Cruisers?

Crib Cruisers add heavy-duty casters to each 10-inch crib. Roll the car around the garage or paint booth without lifting or dollies. Sold as a set of 4 for $464.

Will cribs fit dually trucks?

The 12-inch Multi-Purpose ($233) is the best pick for standard duallies. The 8-inch Extra Wide Trailer Ramps also work for dually axle spacing if you need lower storage height.

Made in USA?

Yes. Every Race Ramp is manufactured in Michigan, USA.

What's the warranty?

Race Ramps come with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Contact us at (470) 208-2754 for warranty claim support.
