It showed up in my feeds on Facebook. I haven't bought it. Just wanted to see what you guys think. A bit worried at how cheap they are....don't want to die

Might have a shelf life? like hard hats etc.

I quite liked them until I saw the view from underneath. Plenty of plastic ramps around but those don't look very substantial.

At that price , worth a go
they don’t look as high as metal ramps ?

I'm with 190, the view from underneath is scary, not really something I'd want to try.

They are not too dissimilar to the one used to level a caravan / motorhome. Our caravan weighs about 750kg per wheel and they take the weight easily on hard ground (I've bent one on soft grass though) These are cheaper than caravan ones and do look a little less substantial but most cars don't have 1500kg axle weights.

I've looked at various ramps before because the Alfa is a pain to get off the ground. Basically the proper jacking points are too far back from the front and are close to the centre of rotation of the car - so you jack the front and the rear is almost off the ground as well. I'd probably just use these in place of a jack and then put axle stands underneath somewhere in case there was a catastrophic failure.

The description says it all "it has very high toughness"
I value my car and my life, so wouldn't put a car anywhere near that.

Bit like egg boxes

Yeh and I don't have the 'high toughness' to take the risk

You can get caravan levelling ramps for a similar price from reputable places that would do instead.

I bought these after my metal one collapsed https://www.fruugo.co.uk/durhand-1-...ZDcY1x7lq50h5Jioox1iI8hTWw1kdtTwaAjhLEALw_wcB

Look similar but more expensive. I am still unsure about them but have had various cars on them without any issues. I do use axle stands as well as backup

 

[tonysmb]

I'd use them but only for raising the car; I definitely wouldn't get underneath it though. As I can't think of a reason why I'd want just to raise the car for the sake of it, I can't see the point.

If you use them for levelling a caravan the worst that can happen is a bump in the night and possibly a burst tyre if it collapses. They might have 'toughhness' but how tough is tough

When I had a GTV I found this trait to be really useful when rotating the wheels! My daughter still hates me for selling that car, and I tend to agree with her.

They’re getting quite rare now. Ive always said mines a keeper. We did a fantastic road trip through Europe in it for my 40th, that was 8 years ago. I think 10 countries in the end. We only saw one other one on the whole trip! My wife loved the trip so much she says we can never sell it!

I bought mine on eBay after a bottle of wine, on my wife's eBay account. She came down stairs the next morning absolutely fuming and I'd forgotten that I'd done it. She grew to like it, but as with the 147 she had previously had she hated how vulnerable it was to parking dinks so didn't drive it much so wasn't fussed when we finally sold it to fund the ML that we needed for towing. God I miss that engine though.

 

[davymead]

Cheap enough, but definitely not without axle stands.

 

[optimusprime]

Good buy for that price i looked for some rime for a pair . Double that price on ebay .

My vintage plastic ones are looking suitably robust .
