Default Garage Ramps

this afternoon i went out for some lunch and passed by a garge that had a set of car ramps in there. Nobody was out so I couldn't really find out what kind he had or where he got them from. These were some nice ramps tho. They went almost all the way in (depth wise) his garage at an incline. I've seen his car parked on them before but never really saw the ramps like I did today.

Anybody have ramps like these or know of places to start looking at for them?? Made the garage look niiiiice btw

You could always leave a note on his door, with your ph#.

Bet your compliment would get him to call you and tell you where he got them.

I got the Rhino Ramps as well. I dont think that those are the ones that you saw. If I were you I would do what Christos said.

Could have been a Bend-Pak product. They make some pretty cool lifts for home use. Maybe the guy has the scissor lift model.

More then likely it was a "Low Rise" scissor lift.
Model LR-60 costs around $1,200. Runs on 110V, raise the car 26", $1,200.


Model P-6 Runs on 110V, raises the car 29", and $1,800.
Originally desgined for quick lubes (pit shops) to raise a car for tire rotations.

did a few searches already and still can't seem to find what he's got or something similar. Im also pretty sure he doesn't have a scissor lift, almost positive with that one. The bend-pak co. does make some pretty nice lifts tho. Thanks for linky. Im still checkin them out

It was probably the kwik lift; it's a real nice set up. I wouldn't mind getting one.

Well my nearest crosstreets are Chino Hills Pkwy and Peyton. Not too far from the 71. That's cool that you're in Upland, maybe we'll run into each other one of these days.
