Hydraulic car ramps - group buy

[yknot]

Those of you that have followed or replied to my topic below (Car Ramps) will know that I have been in contact with the Czech supplier (manufacturer?) of the hydraulic car ramps seen here;

http://www.uni-max.co.uk/hydraulic-ramp-platform-9...

I now have the prices from Uni-Max in order to make a decision regarding a group buy for 10 of these ramps and they can be purchased and delivered to the UK (one address) for a cost of approximately £210. The final price will be calculated once we have decided where is best to deliver them and the exchange rate at the time of order. Onward shipment to your address will be for you to arrange or if convenient collect them yourself.

So that I can gauge the 'serious' interest in a group buy can you please e-mail me with a contact telephone number and your location.

If less than 10 people are interested then I will make other arrangements.

Cheers

Anyone else interested in this?

Thank you for the update Anthony. How did they arrive; on a pallet for instance?

The cost of delivering one set of ramps is the main factor here which is why I suggested a group buy and is dependent on where you live as our Scottish friend found out when he was quoted 400 Euros in delivery cost to get two sets up there from Czech!!

For those that are still considering this group buy, I am not a business and am buying these for myself and anyone who wishes to join the group buy. I will limit the offer to ten sets simply because I can't store more than that and will have to unload them all myself!!! 640kg anyone??

Thanks Anthony, my back is relieved they are lighter than the website suggests!!!

I see the man-maths has been brought to bear then Dan!!

I have e-mailed the supplier to find out how they will arrive to me as it could be an issue if they're loaded differently to how one is apparently packaged, so your offer of your company forklift could be very useful. Also it is my intention to get everyone to arrange their own collection but hopefully if I can get groups from roughly the same area to share the transport cost, either by hiring a van or trailer or, as has been suggested, if someone has a large estate and is coming to this area on business and is willing to collect them.

Let's discuss this by e-mail with all interested parties as there could be a cost implication.

Hi all,

Congratulations, we have achieved the target number of 10 (in fact a few more!) so regrettably for those still waivering;

THIS OFFER IS NOW CLOSED.

Those of you that have e-mailed me will receive further communication via direct e-mail.

Many thanks.

Perhaps, before suggesting to double my work load, you would like to reply to my e-mails???

As yet, you are NOT on the 'first' list!!!

[yknot]

I have received your e-mail Kie, so no worries.

[yknot]

Please read your e-mails Karl.

Stewart, I have replied to your e-mail.

Haven't tried mine yet as they are at the bottom of the pile of boxes!!!

I think it will require a small mod to get a pair of ramps under the car in 'front' of the rear wheels to enable front and rear lifting simultaneously as the height of the stop bar on the ramps will be too high to get under the outriggers. Don't see a problem as long as you make a connector plate so that this safety bar can be re-attached.
