- In this video I discuss the plastic 6500lb rated ramp set from Harbor Freight as well as make comparisons to the steel set also sold there. Then I use them to see how well they work. Thanks for watching, please subscribe!
Just bought a set for my car this morning. I have a kia optima so the weight was fine as they're only about 3250 lbs. I was worried the clearance would be an issue, but it wasn't. I have a pretty level, gravel drive, so i placed boards under them, pulled up on them and backed back off just to test, shook it around a bit, and they stayed right in place and didn't skid at all. Left the car on them for about 30 mins just to make sure. Seems to hold up fine. For oil changes, they give plenty of lift for my car and I'm a little big. For 60 bucks, great investment, even if they only last a few years. I expect they will last a little longer than that though. Great video too. Helped making the decision for plastic ramps
Thank you for the video. Would you be able to do a 1-year followup if possible? Thanks again!
I just bought those last Monday 2-20-2023,the Rino ones got stuck under my car last year and last Sunday,they bent and went back to shape but I no longer trust them.I did use the Rino ones a few times before,I use them to change my oil.
I'm getting a set of the plastic ones and I'm going to completely fill all the cavities in the undersides of them with expanding foam. That should stiffen them up and make them more rigid.
I've owned a pair for 4 years. Sturdy and safe.
this may be dumb but I was thinking you can fill with CONCRETE in the spaces lol .. to secure it more ..
Concrete would make them extremely heavy but something like expanding foam would probably help a lot.
Good for you, for noticing the misleading weight limits. Your car should be fine on the ramps.
I have a Ram 1500 and after crunching the numbers I would be at the max. capacity. I recommend people go to a public truck scale and weigh their vehicle before crawling under to work on it.
How are they holding up
Great, no issues.
So if I drive my truck on these which weighs probably close to 6,000 lbs how much weight is on the 2 ramps ?
I can’t figure that out for you, that’s dependent on things such as weight distribution. Chances are it’s more than 3000lbs since most trucks aren’t anywhere near 50/50 weight distribution.
Seriously?
Another feature is that these are 12 inches wide which is great for trucks or SUVS with wide tires. Most steel ramps are about 9 inches wide.
