Okay, for anyone with drive-on lift. The ramps that came with mine
are 1/4" bent steel 18" wide and 47 pounds each. And if you leave them attached while raised, they get in the way of my face (no 12' ceiling for me). So, I bought 'race ramps' which are 4 pound foam bits. But, they are only 3" high when ramp is 4" high, and they need to hook onto the lift. Added a piece of composite decking machined for the hooks, put a bolt thru and done. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) Now I can pick these up and throw them anywhere. You can make out the size of the old parts by the marks on the concrete.  |
