Anyone knows what brand/type these are, never seen these before...these are interesting if a ramp doesnt fit the garage...dont know if it goes up with hydraulics.

Interesting! Looks to me like 4 x motorcycle scissor jacks have been used, if they are then can be sourced easily, although they are rated to about 450kg each! unusual way of lifting a heavy car but if it works......... :thumbs:

They are mechanical. You can see the nut at the top for raising / lowering.

They don't look very substantial. Still, that can be deceiving.

They are a good set of hydraulic ramps ideal for lowered cars, I've got a set somewhere, they have a locking mechanism which prevents them from collapsing, mine I think are rated to 900kg each, you can get a 1500kg pair also. I believe they cost about £400 ish.

I'd love a set, but my garage is full of tools/benches and my driveway is slightly inclined. I'll just have to stick with loads of trolley jacks and axle stands.

Clever idea , but you still have to get the wheels on the ramp without taking the front underside off first

The ebay ones are only rated at 498KG , the MAX limit of 4 is only 2000kg !!
The ebay ones are only £44.45 in sterling PLUS £200 shipping to the UK LOL

Guys I got a set made makes all the difference as he custom made the ramp from your measurements, then you can take the ramps off for easier access. Made in Scotland.
