Has anyone used one of these?

Hey guys,

In an attempt to find some low access ramps I came across this.

Does anyone on here have or used one?

I think being able to do brake and suspension work is great but not sure how stable the whole thing is.

What's wrong with a trolley Jack and a set of axle stands?

Not much other than it being a pain having to jack the front and back seperatly, plus I would need a new long reach jack to get to the subframe.

That looks terrifyingly unstable.

at last someone has found a good use for an mg,....as a seesaw.

So has any one used one? I was looking at one for my Elan restoration.

Ditto. It looks ok until you have to swing on a breaker bar or pull hard to free something. Then it comes down on your head....


edit to add - thinking about it more, I might use one if once up in the air I could get some axle stands at either end to stablise any movement ? But then you might as well just buy a decent trolley jack & high lift axle stands.

There is a strut that locks one of the platforms so it can't tilt.
