DIY car ramps ?

[voipio]

I've seen a few of these, mostly on the Scottish islands, and also in Wales:

This one's a couple of miles from Rodel, on the Isle of Harris.

I try not to do that

I needed better access for welding the osf footwell (1 patch) , both front inner wheelarches (4), osf bodymounts (2), both sills (3) and nsr arch (1).
Didn't have to remove the wheels.

£300 got me a 4 post lift, yes, it's still sat on a trailer awaiting a concrete base.

Just a thought.

Just a thought, put it up and its easier to get under the car. or easier still get a ramp ;lol

This is what you want.

Today I acquired...........

Now i i looked at then when mooching for ramp sand wondered about making one of them maybe. pretty cool kit.

Why use ramps instead of a jack?

Helps to get under the car for work to be done in more safety than a jack or stand.

I don't like using ramps or jacks, they both scare me a bit.
But I'm quite happy to use heavy concrete blocks...
Plenty solid enough for my Disco TD5, runs up there no worries.
Disco is standard height so goodish room anyway, but these lift it about another 8-inches, quite handy.
And very cheap...

Could do with a few more blocks to make it an even lift , but I'm a bit tight...

Bit of a long way to walk back to fetch that tool you've forgotten though, by the looks of it...

The local garage had a ramp like that, it was ok until someone tried to put a Reliant 3 wheeler on it. …
it didn’t end well

I've got a set of the hydraulic cjautos ones...had them a very long time and they've been excellent....but they're heavy.

Mine have a mechanical lock so when they're up I fell totally safe working under them...I've had the front of the Volvo V70 on them no problem.

They're expensive but I would have thought you could pick up a used set for half the new price easily...or could make something ...but for the used cost it might just be easier to buy them and be done. They fold almost flat which is really handy if the car has a low front lip (like my old mr2)
