What truck ramp do you guys use

I can’t get it to post for some reason. I’ll try later with a new pic.

 

Man, these look to be nice but they are expensive. They have a low entry angle for low cars and each ramp can handle 2500 per. Still plastic though and looks to be overpriced for what it is.

I'm using Rhino Ramps, but they always slip on the epoxy garage floor and gouge it when I try to get up them and they'll shoot out when the truck is pulling back down. I hope to get a set of race ramps soon.

 

Guy wants $200 for Race Rumps on CL. Yeah right. Hahaha.

 

Get some 4" x 1/2" bolts and drill into the concrete to hold the ramps from moving forward.

 

What do I do when I don’t need the ramps and need to pull all the way in the garage past the bolts that would be sticking up?

 

Don't worry bout that. Cut'm off, and the next time you need to use the ramps drill new holes.

 

Haha!

 

You could drill the holes slightly larger than the bolt so you can pull out the bolt when you are done. 4-6" deep hole should do it.

 

Or use a yoga mat and save yourself the headache.

 

Well, depends which model they are... There are RR units that go for $400+ brand new, so depending on the model you might be getting a good deal. If you think that you shouldn't be paying more than $50 for a pair, than maybe you shouldn't compare a $50 pair of ramps to a $400 pair of ramps. I haven't read yet of a review where these have cracked, but I've read plenty of reviews where the rhino ramps have, even the supposed 16K Max units.

In my line of business I also get plenty of cheapskates that want a ferrari for the price of a honda. No, I'm not in the business of selling cars...

 

That's cool too. I've read that most people do this with their steel ramps. I don't have that bar that goes across, so I was thinking of keeping it and just reinforcing it to make it even more capable. If I can make do with what I have and not spend $400 I'd rather do that. We shall see..

 

I'm coming to your house to work on my junk!!!

 

I have them too, they work better for me on the concrete driveway outside.

 

I use these same type ramps that I've had for 30-40 years. But I also have plastic extensions that reduce the slope considerably. They were designed to hook into the holes at the bottom end of the ramps and lengthen the ramp by around two feet, reducing the slope enough that low cars (like my wife's VW Beetle) can get up just fine. The ramps are still being made, by a couple different manufacturers, but I haven't seen the extensions for many, many years.

 

These have the support on them and raises the capacity to

That doesn't sound very nice of you... LOL

 

Hint: Pull out

 

Considering he's all the way in Cali, and I'm in TN, I think he's safe! But I would bring beer and Waygu Beef from KC Cattle Co if I ever did.

 

I read your comment with a dirty mind...

 

I love beer. Never had Waygu Beef but that sounds good.

 

Why am I not surprised?

Its supposed to be the premium in beef. KC Cattle CO will ship and its veteran owned!

 

I think I've found perfect heavy-duty ramps.

I looked at those but the angle is too much. I decided on the Race Ramps HD which I haven't used yet.

$494 Race Ramps RR-XT-2 67" XT 2-Piece Race Ramp

https://www.amazon.com/Race-Ramps-RR-XT-2-67-Inch-2-Piece/dp/B003ZAHTC4

 

So, that was the wrong link. I got these and not from Amazon:

$678 Race Ramps RR-XT-2-HD Low Profile Heavy Duty Ramps (Pack of 2),black

https://www.amazon.com/Race-Ramps-RR-XT-2-HD-2-Piece-Service/dp/B01MQ21TPQ. They are pretty much the same as the link above, but reinforced more. The rating is for 2500lb each, so in the language of other ramps these are good for 10000lb vehicles. They are perfect. Lightweight and gradual incline, 2 piece design which clears the sides since they are 67" long and comes with a magnetic tab for tools or bolts. I just need time to change the damn oil now.

 

That’s awesome! You can use them for your truck and sportscars.

 

They are very expensive at $360 shipped, but hard to find a unit that does low cars and trucks at the same time.

 

old thread but dang the HD race ramps got expensive now $675

 

Thats way too much money for an oil-change tool. I got "12,000 lbs rated" plastic ramps for my small cars as it is very practical and pretty safe.
Tundra doesn't need lifting for fluid changes.

 

I'm using the race ramps HD I believe 2500 pounds per side and there 2 pieces so after the truck is up you remove the ramp part out of your way. Def makes life easy .. I went with these for the dual purpose of being able to drive my lowered car right up on them because of the very gradual approach angle ..expensive but worth it https://www.raceramps.com/ramps/race/p/rr-xt-2-hd/ also added these to them because it takes the approach from 10.6 degree to 6 wich helps if your car is pretty low https://www.raceramps.com/ramps/xtenders/p/rr-ex-14/
