Useful for when you get a flatty and your bodykit won't allow the jack to fit under the car (although if its THAT low, speedbumps will be a problem too...).

Just drive forward onto this, and the car will be elevated at a corner letting the jack slide under.

Its one of those things that when you bought it you always wondered why you did, but if you don't some day you will wish you did!

Hmmm - an over-engineered solution to a minor and infrequent problem methinks.

Maybe true but if you were to marry them with that low slung jack from costco then you could easily jack the front and the back of your car up when required in your garage.

Would be useful,  but at 40 nots a side plus the jack then its too dear.

Could do with making your own mate   s:wink: :wink: s:wink:

2 sets of these & 14 double decker buses & you've got a circus act! They do look really solid though, but for that money I'd want them with built in auto jacking at the 'rear end' so to speak   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:  "using your own trolley jack" - cheeky blighters!   s:P :P s:P

Love this statement about the ramp!


"he is also restoring a Lancia Beta which requires quite a lot of welding, being Italian."

Exactly make one.

Or in your tiny garage you could just put a wooden shelf up on each side and drive onto them.   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

a silly word said in jest but, i could just make a set of ramps as a permanent fit at one height, then a seperate set of run up ramps to clip on. theres more than enough height in there to do it even with the canoe hanging from the roof
