Hydraulic Car Ramps
Discussion
Has anyone ever ordered from this site? And should I be careful of these ramps given they are half the price of the CJ Autos ones?

What about something like this instead.

I've just taken delivery of a pair. Price -- after you've paid delivery and VAT is 350 Euros or so.
I should be using them next week.
The engineers/fabricators next door are pricing up the hydraulic components in the hope that they can beat the Czechs on price!
The eBay link is interesting, but the CJ and Uni-Max ones (and I really don't know if they're the same, or where they're built) have the big advantage of only being about 3" high when compressed, so it should be easy peasy to push a car on to them.

Just get a set of old ramps & two scissor jacks.
Cut out where the wheel sits at the top of the ramp then weld jack into the base of the ramp. Then weld the top of the ramp that you cut out onto top of scissor jack, take off the rough edges & paint!
Get the jacks & ramps from a boot sale for next too nothing.
Don't do what some bright spark did & weld the Jack in the wrong way round so the wind up eye for jack was pointing inwards
