Ramp angle, also known as approach angle, is a measurement of the maximum angle at which a vehicle can ascend or descend a slope without making contact with the ground with its undercarriage or other parts. It is typically measured in degrees and is an important factor in determining a vehicle’s off-road capabilities.
Vehicles with a greater ramp angle can climb steeper slopes and navigate rough terrain more easily. This is especially important for vehicles used in off-road applications, such as SUVs, trucks, and all-terrain vehicles (ATVs). A higher ramp angle also allows a vehicle to approach obstacles, such as rocks or logs, without damaging the undercarriage.
