Built to Be Seen Under the Car: Race Ramps 12″ Show Cribs
On a show field the thing holding your car up is in every photograph anybody takes of it. Jack stands look like what they are. A rectangular block looks like workshop equipment somebody forgot to move.
The Show Cribs are the version designed to be looked at. The pyramid form is tapered on all four sides, which reads as a plinth rather than a prop, and the taper also widens the base so the crib is more stable than a straight sided block of the same height.
They give 12″ of lift for clear access underneath, carry 1,500 lbs per crib, and take tires up to 12″ wide on a diameter up to 32″, which is more than the standard cribs allow. Each is 20″ x 12″ and weighs 7 lbs.
Sold in pairs. For workshop use rather than display, the standard 12″ cribs cost less. See all wheel cribs.

Show Crib Frequently Asked Questions
How are these different from the standard 12 inch cribs?
Same 12 inches of lift and the same 1,500 lb rating. These are tapered on all four sides for appearance and stability, they are longer at 20 inches against 15.5, and they take a taller tire at 32 inches of diameter against 30. The standard cribs cost less and are the better buy for pure workshop use.
Can I use them for actual work, not just display?
Yes. They are rated identically to the standard cribs and the taper makes the base wider, not weaker. Plenty of people buy them for the looks and then use them in the garage all year.
Will they hold on grass?
The tapered base spreads the load over a bigger footprint than a straight sided crib, which helps on a show field. On soft ground put a board under each one, as you would with any support.
Do I need two pairs to lift the whole car?
Yes. One pair lifts one axle. Most display setups put all four wheels up so the car sits level, which means two pairs. If you only want the front raised to show an engine bay or front suspension, one pair does it.
Can a low car get onto a 12 inch crib?
A crib is a step rather than a ramp, so the tire climbs 12 inches over a short distance. A normal ride height car manages it. On a lowered car use ramps to raise it first, or pick a lower crib. Call us if you are unsure.
