2. Components
The VEVOR Cable Protector Ramp (Model VV-2CGXB-4PCS) package includes:

3. Installation and Setup
3.1 Placing Cables
- Identify the desired path for your cables or hoses.
- Lift the yellow flip-open cover on the top of the ramp.
- Carefully place the cables or hoses into the designated channels. Ensure cables are laid flat and not twisted.
- Close the flip-open cover securely.
3.2 Connecting Multiple Ramps
For longer cable runs, multiple ramps can be connected using their modular interlocking design.
- Align the interlocking connectors on the ends of two ramps.
- Push the ramps together firmly until they snap into place, creating a continuous protective path.
- Repeat this process for additional ramps as needed.
4. Operation
Once installed, the cable protector ramp serves two primary functions:
- Cable Protection: The robust rubber and PVC construction, combined with the enclosed channels, protects cables from being crushed or damaged by vehicles and foot traffic.
- Traffic Speed Control: The ramp's design and bright yellow color act as a visual cue and physical deterrent, encouraging drivers to reduce speed in areas like parking lots, driveways, and event venues.
The ramp is designed to withstand a maximum load capacity of 11,000 lbs (4,989 kg), making it suitable for passage by most small cars and light vehicles. Its operating temperature range is from -40°F to 131°F (-40°C to 55°C).
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your VEVOR Cable Protector Ramp, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the ramp surface to remove dirt, debris, or any obstructions that may reduce traction or hinder cable placement. Use mild soap and water if necessary.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the ramps for any signs of wear, damage, or cracking. While the material is wear-proof and non-deformed under normal use, extreme conditions or impacts may cause damage.
- Cable Check: Ensure that cables within the channels are properly seated and that the flip-open cover remains securely closed.
- Storage: If storing the ramps, ensure they are clean and kept in a dry place away from direct sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent material degradation.
6. Troubleshooting
This product is designed for straightforward use. Should you encounter any issues, consider the following:
- Cables not fitting: Verify that the cable diameter is within the channel dimensions (1.3" W x 1.2" H / 3.2 x 3.1 cm). Do not force oversized cables.
- Ramps separating: Ensure the modular interlocking connections are fully engaged. If used on uneven surfaces, the connection might be compromised.
- Ramp movement: On very smooth or sloped surfaces, the ramp may shift. Consider anchoring options if permanent placement is required (hardware not included).
- Reduced visibility: Clean the yellow sections of the ramp if they become obscured by dirt or mud.
