For that sort of money, I'd be paying someone to weld me a set up.
Or rather welding myself a set.

£1045 !!

a couple of hundred quid in 40x40x5 angle, and 8 hours labour at £50 an hour, and it's still gonna work out at
not much more than half the price.
You could buy a *good* stick welder and some lessons and still save money

s'pose it depends on how much time you have

Not to mention storage. I've had ramps for ages, although handy, they get  comparatively little use. Tightening wishbone bush bolts mostly.

If it has the full range of lift and is full with hydrologic oil it "should" be able to lift high enough. ...

Yes? Andy Bedantic...?

Is hydrologic oil what you get if you squeeze out a wet Vulcan? ;)

For doing 4x4 boxes i use two sets of ramps, old homemade jobbies. then use a high lift car jack (preferably not a machine mart) to slip the ramps in. As mentioned for running vehicles some home made jobbies with an attachable ramp for easy incline would be ideal. On ebay they often go for a song as long as they are local.

I know this is an old topic, but further to my comment above:
would anyone be interested in a set of ramps like those above (the restoration ramps)

I can get 3 sets made for about £400 each as a group buy.
I'll have the first pair, so need two more definites needed for the order.
The jacking beam will be extra.
