Car ramps
 

Can someone recommend a good set of ramps? Does Northern Tool have good ramps or are they junk? What about someplace like a NAPA store?
Thanks

I bought the heavy-duty Rhino ramps at O'Reilly and I love them. They nest together for storage and they work really well. They seem to be very solidly constructed.

Go for plastic ones. The nesting ones are great.

Thanks!! I think they sell the rhino at Home Depot too, which is right down the street from me

Just curious here, but why plastic over steel?

Re: Car ramps
 

I've had the composite plastic ones for years and they are light and hold a ton of weight with no problems.
Don't have to worry about scratching them or worry about them rusting away.

Steer clear of the stamped metal ones..my dad had a set and they folded up on him..luckily he wasn't under the truck..never used plastic..dad got a set of heavy fabbed metal ramps..they work good for him..

Do you know where your dad got his heavy fabled ones at?
Thanks

Re: Car ramps
 

I can't recollect where he got them..he thinks maybe sears and roebuck but hes not sure either..hes had em for about 20 yrs now.. the first pic is like the ones that folded up on him..the ones he has now are similar to the second pic

Thank you, appreciate all the help

The stamped steel ones fail. Once the edge bends, the strength is gone. Dad's steel ramps looked fine until I rolled the E-350 up on it. Folded like a cheap suit. Same van, AutoShack (it was then) plastic ramps and no more problems. I still use those ramps 20+ years later.

I will try and get pictures. My dad built a set of wooden ramps I love to use. They are very wide and being wood, will not fail.

The only drawback is heavy weight.
