Harbor Freight Car Ramp - 2 Year Update
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лип 2023
- I've been using the Harbor Freight plastic car ramps (Product No. 63956) for two years now on a regular basis, primarily to do oil changes on my Ford F-150 pickup truck and Infiniti QX-80. Both are big heavy vehicles. The ramps have worked quite well in lifting the vehicles to more comfortably get underneath them to work. I thought I'd do a two-year update to show how they've held up over time.

THANKS FOR WATCHING! - Навчання та стиль
Thanks for the follow-up!!
Thanks for the tips.
They are now on sale for $44 in my area....and I have a much lighter vehicle, a Rav4....and would only use them 2x a year for oil changes. So for that price...I would not expect them to last more than about 3-4 years, but if they last longer that would be great.
With lighter vehicles I think they would last much longer than that. I used it for my F-150 and QX-80, both fairly large vehicles, weight-wise. Also, if you don't drive off the edge like I did 🙄 they might do even better than that. Because they have a torsion box design on the bottom I probably could have used them longer even after that crack appeared but for $60 I wasn't going to risk my life. And I just looked and they're $44 by me too. A spring Black Friday sale! Definitely well worth the price.
I bought some of these probably 2-3 years ago and have never overshot yet but they’ve held up great I’ve used them on my car and now rav4 and a diesel f250 and no issues yet.
I apparently suck at driving. This summer I overshot the edge just a bit and it cracked the base (I did a follow up video showing it). I actually think because odf the construction of the ramp they probably would have held up even with the crack, but for $60 why chance it?
Looks like it was exposed to the elements that's why it didn't last long. But maybe if you stored it inside a box and placed it inside your garage or house, it would've last longer.
do they nest together for storage?
No! One of their more annoying features :)
OH NO, you threw them away?
i will use my steel ramps
I have heard there are fatigue issues with them too though I admittedly would have more confidence in them over time than with plastic
You really have to be sensitive enough to "feel" just as the car crests the incline bump as the tires reach the top flat spot to back off power immediately so as not to hit against the end stop hard at all.
Yeah, I tend to be more of a bull in a China shop type of person. :) But you're right. There is that special sweet spot of giving it enough gas to get up the ramp but having the ease to not run to the end of it.
Since they are filled with crevices then fill them with high strength concrete
That's possible though it would make them heavy af to carry
Lol I thought of the same thing .. but like he said , wouldn't be mobile anymore lol . unless you're in a wheel chair carrying them lol ..
Those are a Pittsburg tool. They have a lifetime warranty.
I’ll check into that! Thanks!
Nope. 90 days. Lifetime is only hand tools.
You've been ripped off!!!
this is crap. Lumber is cheap now.
time to build a wood ramp instead.
Wow, just watched, plastic for thousands of pounds, just common sense if want to risk life
To be honest, I think the ramp could have actually lasted long. It’s made with a torsion box design so even if on piece cracks the others should maintain their integrity. But I’m not willing to risk my life to test the theory. When it’s in good form, though, I trust it implicitly
Not even solid
