The ramps aren't the problem. The solution is not to be a dumbass.

this is why I don't trust people. both the person in the video and the person recording the video could have warned the driver something was wrong. 🙄

OF COURSE ITS GONA SLIDE ON CONCRETE....WAKE UP😂😂😂

Just put a rubber mat underneath. Improvise as a mechanic would.

"Ramp companies hate him for this one trick...."

Tie a rope on each ramp and let the car run over the rope as the van moves forward it will climb up the ramp and hold the rope down the rear wheels will also run over the rope and the ramp won’t slide forward .

Looks like it’s the drivers fault and not the ramps 😂they have other ramps that don’t start off steep

Places car ramp with nothing underneath to prevent it from sliding- “yeah I don’t trust this shit”. That is user error. So you don’t trust yourself. I wouldn’t trust you either.. you literally just silently recorded

Always use layered protection when working under a car. Never trust just a jack or a ramp. I worked ems for years and over the years and had to pull several young men from under vehicles. Bad way to go. Teach your sons.

I always use a jack stand with ramp PLUS my 3 ton jack, can't be too careful. You only have 1 life.

Ramps don’t kill people, dummy’s kill people

Those ramps look like they are made of egg carton material . I originally thought they would collapse .

I have the Scepter Pro ramps, the plastic ones and I've used them for years. You have to block the ramps from moving with a couple of bags of playground sand or a couple of pavers. The metal ramps skid on the concrete. The plastic ones just need a paver to keep from moving. You are pushing up an incline with heavy car with very little contact area on a smooth surface. Plus those ramps are really steep.

This has got nothing to do with the ramps. Whilst I agree with others that this style is not particularly safe, the reason why they are sliding is because the vehicle is rear wheel drive, and effectively 'pushes' the ramps. A front wheel drive/4x4 would not do this on these ramps. A failure of the operator to understand the vehicle and conditions he is using the equipment in.

Only happens on rear wheel drives unless you are backing up the ramps using front wheel drive .

Those ramps are garbage, I remember seeing these when I was young. Never trusted those things

Use rubber mats under ramps. Extra expense but worth it.

Building ramps from wood is much better. You can build stair ramps out of 2x6’s for free if you can find scrap.

I recently dropped my car on my hand guys please use the proper jack that is equivalent to the weight your jacking up and jack stand the correct weight, also take care of your stuff and inspect

I would brace them ramps. Looks like they can collapse

Ramps are safe if used properly slick concrete put down rubber mat or plywood or tie rope to front of each one leaving enough to lay down the length of your vehicle drive safely but work safely too.

This is the reason you cant trust anyone that says they're a "mechanic"

I'm guessing this vehicle is rear wheel drive. If it is place the ramps on rubber since the front wheels aren't pulling itself onto the ramps/aren't pulling the ramps underneath itself. Their just being pushed forwards

My 21 Toyota 4runner limited with full time AWD walks right up these, even on concrete..no slippage at all..

I used a thick rubber mat under my ramps for traction and it worked well for me.

That's why I don't like using them alone but I do trust them if set up right

It’s crazy how people trusted those red metal ramps for decades . My pops has some for years and before he discarded them I was looking at by the welds and I couldn’t believe my eyes how people trusted them for so many decades . I use 2 jacks plus 4 Jack stands and some 4x6 blocks I have laying around. Remember too that you tug on bolts and parts which might disturb your stands. Please be safe out there. As they say “the devil never sleeps”

You have to hit them with a tiny bit more power so the weight is on the ramp, then it won't slide. If you pussy foot it, this will happen. Or lay down rubber mats.

Lay a short board right at the bottom of the ramp so that there is weight on the ramp before the vehicle is all the way on it. Also this isn’t a problem for fwd vehicles

This is likw jacking up a car on a fender, it breaking apart and being like "this is why i dont trust jacks"... Provide some backing, have a backup (or 2 or 3) in case they fail, use ramps that fit your vehicle well, and always inspect before getting under

Build wooden ramps theyre much safer. Few videos on youtube of some safe smart designs

Make your own ramp. Mine is 8 ton SOLID concrete steel block ramp weld it to the ground. Even earthquakes won't move it. Cost about $25000 but it's worth it.

My father always had a collection of heavy oak blocks on top of his jack stands

Should they start making them with a flat piece of metal in front of the ramp (a pre-ramp or extension of sorts) so the vehicle can drive up on that extension with , hopefully , no problems and since that extension is part of the ramp one shouldn't have a problem driving up the rest of the ramp . At least it sounds like it would work .

I jack up the car majority of the time then put ramps under but steel ramps slide very easy my plastic rhino rams have anti skid stuff under and I drive up with ease

Bilateral ramps must be linked by a horizontal strip or bar and the inclines must adhere to the wheels here one is adherent and got on top the other wasn't it was slipping

Lol. Ive always used ramps and have never had issues. The smooth concrete doesnt help either.😂

Or, you could kick the ramp a little so it grabs under the tire. Just a thought.

Pur some GOD-DAMN PlyWOOD Under Them You JACKWAGONs😵‍💫😤

When you dont know physics

Sometimes you just have to be smarter than the ramps.

Your supposed to take a run at it. I'm not kidding, go fast to get on the ramp and then back off. I open the door so I can see the ramp

Convert the Econoline to FWD !!!!! Fit some rubber pieces under the ramps, make a hole in the ground and fit a good bolt, use 2 legs of that elevator to stop the ramps, use the brain.

I hate those kind of ramps, but I do like the good ramps

The ramps are not the problem, the user is. Block them from sliding with a chock or a old piece of rubberized rug, which will also keep them from gouging the concrete. bg

This is why I don't trust mechanics (insert whatever industry this is if not mechanics). Can't even use their tools properly.

It’s not the ramp that’s the problem. That is paranormal activity that’s going on there! People need to take this stuff more seriously, and stop thinking that it’s only stories of fiction that belong in movies.

No, this is why you dont use THOSE ramps. Especially without chocking them…

The driver doesn't hear that thing moving? The guy recording doesn't tell him? Clickbait.

Put some floor mats underneath the ramps so they won't slide

Ramps are basically designed for outdoor use, On a concrete floor they are dangerous but someone who knows what they're doing shouldn't have a problem.

Shitty ramps, no slide resistance, incompetent people = disaster waiting to happen

Just use some empty egg boxes-much safer and stronger than you think 👍

I bought some plastic ramps with rubber feet. Very rarely a problem. Its not to say that they wont or dont skid away, its quite rare though.

Especially those metal ones, they collapse.

It’s the person who set this up that shouldn’t be trusted. Where’s the wedge for the ramps. The ramps are fine.

I saw the most genius thing the other day and my neighbor used a sidewalk curb as a car jack lol

User error 😂

Boyd you’re using old rusty ramps that will slide on a smooth surface with a heavy as van what did you think would happen

A wedge under that might have stopped it from advancing..

I put a stopper of some kind or just simply hold it with my foot while someone else pulls on.

If it does not look safe it IS NOT SAFE!!!!

Those ramps suck. Worse, he was lifting it up to replace the front brakes.😆

You have to get a running start and hit them ramps doing about 25 mph

"Let's put our cheap, poorly designed ramps on a smooth slick surface and film it!" said a dumbass one day.

You just have to be smarter than the ramps.

That’s why I got rid of mine exactly like that rather get the modern ones

The ramps aren't the problem, you are the problem

"I don't trust ramps, they move when you use them on concrete....I will instead use jacks that are known for being much more dangerous especially on a concrete floor"

i got the plastic Rhino ramps, had one slightly angled wrong and Ka-CHUNK went under the car...had to use a jack to raise that side and reset the ramp...all was good, but got me really wondering now if that's currently whats wrong with my car......maybe something got damaged. cuz im currently having major suspension issues but can't exactly pinpoint

They work fine, but why would you use the on the smooth surface???

Would tying a rope or cable to the ramp and then laying out said cable/rope along the tire tracks so the vehicle dives over the ropes/cables thus allowing the tires to hold it in place while still driving up the ramps . It seems like it wouldn't take an extreme amount of force to hold the ramps in place while the vehicle drives up the ramps .

How many people knew exactly what was going to happen😅 When I was a kid I tried that same thing and I realized that ramps won't work on concrete I was 8.

These older metal ramps are taller than the plastic ramps, increasing the chance of excessive sliding. The ramps should slide a couple of inches when the tires are on top of the ramp to prevent running over. So, if you have these older metal ramps, please be careful.

It works better if you put your toes under the ramp. Be sure to take your shoes off first!

This is why u shouldnt trust shi++y car ramps...

Yeah, you can't do it that way. Get a little head start and coast up them ramps,obviously

There is very little friction between concrete and metal. Come on. Anyone using ramps in the first place should know this. I use the plastic semi-solid honeycombed ramps with rubber feet. Never had an issue.

DRRRRRRR Hell....what a surprise I'm guessing whatever YOU use will be dangerous

That left ramp said nope not today

Why tf wouldn't you tell him HEY STOP. 🙄🙄

Literally putting it on ramps while driving between the hoist posts…. Use the hoist

*And i don’t trust Any Sinks! I touch the water and get my hands WET!!* 😒

i use rhino ramps and they havent let me down yet!

rubber on the bottom? i mean i’m no genius but whenever thing started sliding i threw a blanket under… not rocket science…. im a bad driver too and i could do this

Or make some diy wooden ramps and that should be pretty dam

The van is too light, ramps would be good for heavier vehicles like suvs and pickups

Why don't people just put something heavy in front of the ramps to keep them from moving?

Ramps are for 4x4 and fwd vehicles or rwd you just gotta jack it up then drop it on the ramps

I wouldn’t trust those anyways. No gussets on them.

Using metal ramps on smooth concrete? Way to go…maybe if you stepped into the 21st Century, tossed those old metal ramps and got a set of polymer ramps with traction bottoms they wouldn’t slide and you wouldn’t fear them.

One of your friends needs to stand against the ramp, that’s how you get it to stay in place…duh…

Puts metal ramps on slick floor. And wonders why it's not getting traction... 😂

Putting a cargo van on ramps is WILD 💀

the ramps just need a stopper which u can punch or lock them quickly on the floor. thats it.

Why would you put metal ramps on a smooth floor

That doesn't look like a problem with the ramps my guy. Looks like you are trying to put too much on them

Gotta secure the footing first 🙈

It's not the ramps. It's your fault.

Great video how not to use ramps as you have a lift
