I'm sure this has been discussed before but anyone using hydralic drive on ramps with extensions? i.,e.

These kind of ramps:

It was discussed recently and I think the conclusion was that they were good.
I, however, have not used them (although I would like a set)

Only downside is that the vehicle will need to be driven on, unless one is very strong.
The type that collapse almost flat allow the vehicle to be pushed on if a non-runner, with a bit of help, got mine on these.

Available also hydraulic powered.

I've read other people use a trolley jack (I have one) to lift the car up, then slide the ramps under, then jack them up to max height. I'd be buying the ramp extensions to cover all bases.

I've got 4 axle stands, I just don't feel comfortable trusting my life on them and am never happy going under the car when it is on stands. Just too claustraphobic. I'm hoping the extra height of these , and the security of welded steel frames make sthe experience more tolerable.

Ramp extenders are not required for a Griff on either the front or rear & because they are only 5" high when in the lowered position, driving on is drama free.

Thanks, but too pricey . At that money is start looking at a scissor lift for the whole car.

Well I'll update how I get on with them.. I Looked at CJ Autos manual adjustable ramps - basically the hydraulic ones but you use your drill instead. By the time vat is added, then shipping, they hit £360 which is mad for manual jack ramps. So I've ordered the £95 jack ramps and will see how I go. I plan to jack my car up and drop it on them.

The ones I added a link to on the web...........went for £225.00

I know :-( . I snipe them but my bid increment was not enough at £230.50 - needed to bid a bit more apaprently. Mind you, no idea what the other guy's max bid was.

Two of these and a modification could be good https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-Ton-Electric-Trolley-...

They work well - plenty of room underneath and I've still got one "stop" to go up (another 4 ish cm)
