Car ramps - advice sort please

[KansasCityMilkman]

I want to buy myself some ramps - would I need the "low entry" attachments for a Stag or would I be OK without them?

Thanks.

you are okay without them, the stag is not that low when compared to a lot of sports cars (not that the stag is a sports car), but if you have a front spoiler then the extensions may be needed.

Bought them from http://www.cjautos.org.uk/

Pricey and SWMBO went mad but they should last me a lifetime

Very nice but a bit out of my league! SWMBO would definitely go mad if I bought those!!

A set of those is on my wish list, after messing around with jacks and axle stands recently I think a set of these are a must. Richard what is the max weight they will lift? the wife has got a Commer Camper and its a sod to jack up so again these may be the answer.

2 tonne

Lifts the stag within a minute and have no problems with the front of my Range Rover.

I even use them now instead of the trolley jack, drive on, jack up, axle stand under chassis and let down the ramp to leaft wheel dangling.

Pricey but I don't plan on getting rid of them any day soon.

PLUS my drive is gravel and try getting the front of a car onto normal ramps with a gravel driveway.

Just noticed the the company does non hydraulic ramps that you wind up with a ratchet for a bit less.

Pricey but they do look the business, on my wish list too.

Snap ! We've got a Commer PB camper too and love it After 3 years of ownership she's currently being restored at Coventry Commer Panels - we're also replacing the standard engine with the Holbay 'H120' version too. Can't wait until we get her back next month ...

Yea going to Commer fest at Martins place, was thinking of taking the Stag as well as the Commer as Martin used to own one. I take it Woolfy is doing your Commer resto, will it be ready for the meet?

Commer ownership does seem to revolve around having fun and they are fairly easy to fix if you can get them in the air. Were you at the Cambridge meet last year?
