drfeelgood73 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Just got a set of adjustable car ramps which are really heavy duty. Can highly reccomend these to anybody. Built to last and raise the car up almost double the height of normal ramps. Height can be held at any point throughout the range. Here is one at full height... http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag41/pitlanewanderer/72E1C515-2790-4EE5-B67F-B32E45D6F66E-125-00000009C9F2AD03.jpg It is 42 cms at full height... http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag41/pitlanewanderer/61A6C6A3-DB31-4BBC-B604-E6F86DB7FA99-125-0000000994859FAC.jpg And about 18 cms fully lowered http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag41/pitlanewanderer/E074AC2B-7A69-4B1E-8DF9-DD5443C6C032-125-000000098171F155.jpg http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag41/pitlanewanderer/4DCD4C56-25A7-483E-BA90-E62134175D87-125-000000098BFD06C5.jpg These are adjusted up by a 22mm socket on a ratchet or attached to an extension bar onto a power drill for a speedier ascent/descent They are still a bit high to drive straight onto, but a piece of wood is enough to get on without scraping the bottom.

sparky370z Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 They look really good! Prob pricey tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drfeelgood73 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 I only got a set of 2..... Don't think I would need to get all four off at that height. Just use the jacks at the other end if I ever need all four off. These take upto 2 tonne.... http://www.cjautosheywood.co.uk/adjramp.shtml They advertise on ebay and have a best offer..... I got them for £ 280 delivered... They have a reserve at £250 . The auctions have been going for anything between £230 and £270 with £30 for delivery added on. You can buy them outright for £329 delivered from their ate as well. These are pretty damn heavy and will last a long time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 do they come in a pair or is that £330 each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 do they come in a pair or is that £330 each pairs, looked on the website. looks pretty good. but for 600 quid for 4, pretty pricey for me as i would use them a handful of times.

Ekona Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Anyone else looking at those and thinking, "Sod working under there in case they fail!"? Or just me? They do look a wonderful piece of kit, I just don't trust stuff like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'd probably stick a load of timber underneath to be sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) I may be being really thick here (i often am) but several people have mentioned a set if 4..... how would you get all 4 wheels anto 4 ramps at the same time? And I'm with Ekona, jack up and axle stands. Edited November 12, 2012 by Fodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks for posting this, they look very good indeed. Although I hate trying to drive up things like that as I have visions launching my self off into the garage door or something Definitely on a wanted list for me.

jumping350 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 (edited) have all the ramps facing the same way then drive up them?? 2 in front of front wheels 2 in front of rear?? would be bit dodgy as ramps could move Edited November 12, 2012 by jumping350 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodder Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 have all the ramps facing the same way then drive up them?? 2 in front of front wheels 2 in front of rear?? would be bot dodgy as ramps could move Brilliant, why didn't I think of that. Jeez I can be dim at times, still be worried about chocking and having all 4 off the ground and changing the height would be pretty dangerous I would think?!

And I'm with Ekona, jack up and axle stands. You ain't being thick. There is no way you would fit/slide one of them under a zed sill. A 4x4 maybe.

drfeelgood73 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Like all things that are used to jack up a vehicle at a single point, a back up is recommended. The metal framework is far more substantial than normal ramps and the only way I can see of a collapse ( other than the snapping of the frame itself ) is if the threaded Rod either snaps or all the threads strip thus allowing the movement to slide back.... I have made a rod to chock up the slide rail which is easy to drop in and remove as a back up, as well as the axle stands if needed They are quite expensive for only to be used a couple of times, but I have 3 cars to look after so they will get used and last a good length of time. I would love to see someone try and drive onto 4 of these at the same time, in fact I think you could get £250 from the tv for that video...

Darren-B Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Guys your doing it all wrong, this is how to jack up your car Done this a few years ago to change a gearbox on my old shogun on a farm. You need to use what you have @hand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
