Foxx Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Can anyone recommend any ramps they’ve had that had stood the test of time please? My drive has a slight slope so wanted an alternative to axle stands. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Unless you are referring to simple drive on ramps, all hydraulic ramps need to be fitted to a flat surface and usually one with at least 9 inches of concrete to support the post bolts meaning most driveways would be unsuited. Before I had my own 2 post ramp fitted I used to borrow a scissor lift at the local garage and bung the owner some beer money. That made certain jobs a lot easier and the owner would even give me a free hand on some 4 hand jobs but it was obviously limited to when and for how long. With local garages just ask, what is the worst they can say - no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a hand job shouldn't last for too long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysdan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The one I have is perfect. Doesn’t need to be bolted down can be used on a slight incline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidewaysdan Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Lifts up to 1.2mtr and I just use a small stall to work underneath. I’m 6ft and never had any problems. Yeah perfectly safe . It has two locking mechanisms as it rises. I believe I paid around £1200 delivered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
