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.

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.

I may add something to tie/untie those two and gain some rigidity, we'll see Anyway, thanks again David for sharing your knowledge!

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 ;)

Good idea but I'ld prefer square steel stock for the framing and cross supports anywhere/everywhere to prevent tortional twisting; all it takes is a one time oops event and you are dead, or mamed for life. Each ramp needs to be locked into the other so no twisting or shifting occurs.

The only improvement I’d make is to add a triangulation diagonal between some of the verticals to brace it - it might not need it but I’d worry about the domino effect. Edit, should have read the other comments! 😃
@michiel5160
@michiel5160 7 місяців тому
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 Місяць тому
@@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?

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.
