Rhino Car ramps

[Big House]

I have a set of those gray hard plactic car ramps and the darn things do not stay in place when I try to run up onthem...has anyone else had the problem with these things and am I doing something wrong? How hard can it be to just drive up a set of ramps.

Thats funny ..I had a set given to me and i thought wow these will be great for workin on the mm until i drove up them (1st time) 1 wheel went up and the other slide and flipped the other ramp under the in the wheel well . so i had to jack up the car to get it out and threw both of them in the trash(insert hands wiping here)and that was that..

I've had a pair for a couple years & only used them twice.

1st - Change the oil on my Toronado.

2nd - Adjust the rear air suspension arm on my LSC.

Both times seems to work ok for me.

Are you working on a rough or smooth surface ?. I could see keeping them in place on say a painted/coated floor of a garage to be an issue.

Remember, you are not driving up on these ramps with the DRIVEN Wheels.
Because they are PLASTIC, they are lightweight and will move
with any pressure applied to them.
Try blocking the ramps with your winter tires.
They should hold them in place as you drive up.
If not, buy yourself a few 2 x 6s and build your own ramps...

I have a set of these, they do move easily but I've had decent luck with them. Even able to get my 5spd Mustang up them without too much difficulty.

They have rubber pads underneath, mine fell off VERY easily. Might want to see if they're still there...they do make a difference. They do still move with the pads, but without the pads they'll be all over the place.

I'm also using these on rather rough concrete, haven't tried them on smoother surfaces, the movement could be alot worse, I could have an advantage with rougher surfaces!

I haven't hear RF complain about them.:tantrum: How about a pair of rubber floor mats under the ramps?

They have rubber grip type material under them.
I use em all the time.

when i used to use them on my firebird i used to kick them under the tires before driving up. haven't tried them on the marauder yet

Me and my cousin bought a set. We used them with his Mustang and they worked fine.

I also shoved the ramps under the tires a bit so they would stay in place, plus I have a ugly pitted driveway that the ramps don't slide on very much.

I have used them for about two years now. To make sure they don't move, I pull up, slide the ramps up to the tires, give 'em a good kick and after that they don't move. They seem to work better with front drive cars as someone mentioned but that could be just the fact that my wife's century labors to get up the ramps. With my Marauder, I am afraid I will go to far!

The 1st time I used these ramps was with my '79 F150 4x4. Drove right on over them like they wuz gis a little rock or log inna the road. I do use them on a '93 Gran Marquis and they are just the right height for oil changes. Like Breadfan said, the black pads fall off all the time. I will try to glue them in place (hot glue or silicone sealer?) if I can ever remember to.
