Anyone Tried These Ramps?

[Manx V8V]

Has anyone tried these? I would like to be able to do a bit of cleaning and tidying up underneath at the rear of my V8V and i'm trying to avoid the complexities of jacking and placing onto axle stands or the clutch punishment of reversing up conventional car ramps.

Yes they have manual locking pins, I'm a very safety conscious person so I would also probably place two large wooden blocks or even axle stands inside the open frames once raised just to be sure, the SWL is 900Kg per set so rear end of the Vantage should be within the SWL.

It just seems an easy and pretty safe way of raising the car without risking damage or life.

Absolutely right about the dangers of bricks!! covered on day 1 of my motor vehicle technology course many many years ago!!

Quick Jack is very popular on this side of the pond : https://www.quickjacklift.co.uk/

I use a 5000SLX to lift my DB9. Works well.

That looks the business!! might invest in some.

OMG, I have not seen these before. What a cracking idea.

But tell me, how does this fit under a Vantage, are there any blocks or other bits required? Really sad, but I'm excited!

When lowered they are only a few inches high Mike they just slide under the sides, they probably require foam pads to be placed on the tops prior to lifting, or possibly pucks positioned on the Jack points.

When I first took mine in for a test I was anxious that they understood the importance of raising an AM properly for checking the wheel bearings etc, but the guy said "don't worry we use these" and picked up two high density foam blocks around 4ft long which he placed on top of the ramp side beams before raising them.
