Has anybody got experience of fabricating or know anybody who does or can fabricate a pair of adjustable drive-on car ramps like the ones pictured. CJ Autos do both hydraulic and screw versions some but they are beyond my budget and I like the use of bottle jacks in the ones pictured.   They are made by a company called J L Welding in Dundee but I cant seem to get hold of them. Anyhow as thanks for helping with the boring bit, have a teaser of my latest project   Thanks in advance Nigel |

Cant say I really like the look of those as bottle jacks are designed for lifting not supporting. I got visions of being underneath, the bottle jack collapsing and a car coming down on my head.

For something that big (difficulty storing) I go with the fixed type garages use to display cars rather than adjustable - www.cheapramps.co.uk/Paul H |

they don't look particularly great to me. the jack issue isnt hard to sort, drill a few holes in the uprights and stick pins through like axle stands.
id be more concerned about the size of the platform that jacks up, its obviously far too small, and the toeboard is far too low as well. it also needs some kind of heelboard on there to stop the car wanting to roll off backwards the higher you jack it.
seems like a lot of farting about for an extra 6"(if that) clearance as well.
