Low rise ramps

[allanb]

Hi,

I remember seeing a thread a long time ago about some low rise ramps that were ideal for the TVR.

I think they were some sort of composite material, but not sure.

Could anyone recommend some please?

Cheers

8x2" finely sliced into 2.....

... ad finitum until you reach your desired height

Always liked the look of the hydraulic drive-on ramps from CJ autos. Pricey but worth it as obviously will be with you for life. http://www.cjautos.site90.net/hyramp.html

After that, 2nd hand 2-post lift

The beam to put on a trolley jack look good as well if you get the clearance for the jack. http://www.cjautos.site90.net/jbeamst.html

Hi, I use standard ramps but use a piece of 8 x 2 (200 x 50) timber about 1m long with front chamferred off and resting on the ramp about third of the way up, I have even notched out a slot on the rear of the timber to ensure it locates on the ramp and does not slide at all.

This allows the front of the car to raise and clear the ramp but also allows the weight of the car to be transfered via the timber onto the ramp to stop the ramp moving as you drive on, especially if reversing on.
The timber can be removed after the car is on the ramp to allow access under the side as well as the front, but remember to put them back before reversing off the ramps.

This is the cheapest way I have found that gives decent height to allow access under most of the car.
