I was fed up of lying on the ground working under things. These ramps make that a bit easier.
Please feel free to use my plans as inspiration, all I ask is you hit the subscribe button.

Those are the coolest ramps I've seen. So simple but effective. If I were to build them I think the only thing different I would do would be put cross-bracing in them from top to bottom at a 45°. Great work man.

Спасибо. Идея просто прекрасна. Сразу думаю. что если центр тяжести сместить назад, то никакой подъёмной балки не понадобится. Машина заехала и под своим весом перевалилась и встала ровно.....Наверное буду делать. Ещё раз СПАСИБО за идею. Thank you. The idea is just wonderful. I think right away. that if the center of gravity is shifted back, then no lifting beam will be needed. The car drove in and rolled over under its weight and stood up straight.....I'll probably do it. THANKS again for the idea.

I used to do it the poor man's way - stask up a bunch of 2x10 boards - staggered slope at the end todrive up onto them. Tody. all thse boards might cost as much as the the steel used in this one and the wood won't last nearly as long :-0)

I'd like to see a cross tube added front and back through which another tube could be slid right across to link the two units together. You could drill the cross tubes for pins with holes in the links every two inches. You'd still have full track adjustability, but the cross tubes would reduce sideways racking and prevent a parallelogram collapse.

Just the ticket. I mangled two mouldy ramps I made out of a manky old car transporter driving my diesel Alfa up on it and I've been eyeballing my scrap pile looking to make simple ramps it won't crush. You've confirmed what my gut feeling the 50x50x3 angle I have is both insufficient in length and thickness. 50x50x5 sounds far better, and it won't be all rusty. Subscribed, loving the delivery, and just enough detail to figure out the bits I need to copy.

Car showroom use something very similar. Personally I'd add a few cross-members too for strength and safety and you could modify the jacking bar and add another thinner one further along, to ensure the correct distance is "locked in" between them and so that they don't separate ;)

You're attitude is as awesome as this job. No electricity no nothing. I fucking love it. The leveler is brilliant too. The only addition would be to drop the wheels. So you could maybe install bottle jacks.. with integrated jack stands, insert blocks, pull the pins then release the pressure let them fall and you've got a full service available. Awesome.

@michiel5160
@michiel5160 8 ай бұрын
The back part is basically a giant triangle and will hold shape. That also means that the top and back vertical of the rectangle up front will stay in place. So if they welds are solid, it can't move. Left to right I'd definitely put in some cross member. Also in the top and bottom. And one in the front rectangle in each side to take some load of the joints.
@ianmib
@ianmib Ай бұрын
@@michiel5160 the diagonal members of those ramps do not count as bracing, nobody should be using these. Also have you ever seen any engineered device that requires you to be under the load while lifting? This is one of the most ill-advised DIY disasters waiting to happen that I have ever seen on you-tube. But hey, if in doubt just add more metal glue, right?

The leg at the back can slip down like this, you should add some jack stand underneath the back cross member. I know there are 4 but it's only held by pressure, having a secondary lock can probably save you from a big accident
