Comparison Guide
For SUVs and 4WDs, the answer is clear: stairs. Ramps work on low cars. Stairs work on high ones. Here's why the difference matters.

The comparison
A boot floor at 75cm requires a ramp over 1.2m long to create a manageable angle. That's heavy, takes significant boot space, and is awkward to deploy. Stairs cover the same height in much less space.
A long ramp flexes under load, especially at the midpoint. For a large dog, that flex is noticeable and unsettling. Stairs are rigid carbon fibre — a predictable, stable surface on every step.
Steps are more intuitive for most dogs than an inclined ramp surface. This is why stairs typically have shorter training periods than ramps — dogs understand the movement more naturally.
Storage is a real consideration. A ramp for a high vehicle takes significant boot space even folded. Our stairs fold to 15cm — a small footprint that barely impacts your cargo space.
A 1.2m+ ramp needs 1.2m+ of clearance behind the vehicle. In a tight carpark or driveway, that's often not available. Stairs deploy in less than half that footprint.
For any vehicle with a boot floor above 50cm, stairs are the better solution in every practical dimension — stability, storage, deployment, dog confidence, and weight.
