So, my back is killing me due to bending over to mess about with my bikes. Its Christmas soon and I fancy treating myself to a ramp. They seem to vary in price quite a bit and I've been advised to make sure I get a long one (vs a small one fit for a scooter).

Whats the consensus? Can anyone recommend me a decent ramp? Can I get one for around 300 or less?

Thanks

My advice is get one with compressed air lifting if possible because it's surprising how long it takes to jack it up and how many times you'll want to lift & lower.

I've got the Clarke CML3 which, if you get from Machine Mart during a VAT free offer (they do these often) is around £400, whilst the non-air version is around £350, but I reckon £50 extra for the air version is well worth the difference...

These are worth considering as option to a ramp if space is an issue...?

The KD Benches are nicer to work with if you can afford it, or get a 2nd hand one.

Thanks for the reply chaps. I'll have a look and see what I can come up with.

Gutted I missed tha VAT free offer. Either of the CML3s would have been spot on. I've signed up for their emails. Hopefully there might be some offers over Christmas.
