    Certainly am!

    It's been invaluable to be honest, especially being able to put Tools, small bits, screws, bolts etc on to the ramp base rather than on the garage floor where they get kicked/trod on and then lost! :rolleyes:

    It arrived yesterday. Great piece of kit. I dont know how they do it for the money. Getting it out of the crate on my own was fun. I used an old mattress to avoid any damage. Well pleased. photo 1.jpg photo 2.jpg photo 3.jpg photo 4.jpg

    Yes getting the fecking thing out on ya own is a laugh and a half but doable!


    Get the Safety Pin inserted matey, it's a lot sturdier then once you've let the hydraulics down on to it! ;)

    I found the hydraulic unit needed tweeking with a screwdriver to get it to respond better to the foot operated pressure release.

    As it came it was dead slow to lower, but adjusting the screw adjuster a tadge made it far more responsive to foot operated inputs! ;)
