Look at the load rating.
Datatek:- 7 ton per pair, tested to 12 ton per pair. Phenomenal weight for plastic/polypropylene?

Plastic?
Personally I wouldn't touch them. Plastic degrades too quickly for my liking.I agree about the degradation, I think it is accelerated by leaving item's in the sun! Apart from that I can't see anything else on offer with these spec's, delivered to my door for fifty sod's!Plastic?

Have a search for Hippo Ramps. I made a set and they are useful in that once the car is up on the platform you can move the angled part to make access easier.
Found them for you.

HippoRamps (TM) are real. We ain't joking. Follow the link above.
Many years ago we had a set of metal ramps. The type where yer had ter take a run up ter get the wheels over the ladder diagonal bit. Rust got to them and they were too much of a risk ter use. So eye made some out of wood.

You forgot to add that they are a good source of kindling if you get fed up with the ribbing for owning a Gaylander.

Yep soak in paraffin and light for a satisfactory conclusion.

I use a set of camper van leveling ramps. Manged to get them off Flebay for a couple of quid as I needed to get the MX5 high enough to get the jack underneath. Works fine for the Landy and if I need anything higher I use a jack and axle stands.

My freelander is more reliable and cheaper ter run than your big freelanderYou forgot to add that they are a good source of kindling if you get fed up with the ribbing for owning a Gaylander.
I started this thread stating that I have an RRC. It is a 1994 " VOGUE SE 300Tdi AUTO on AIR". It is not the downstair's maid's shopping trolley ie.(freelander/evoque, etc.). Such cheek! For the " RANGE ROVER " members I have ordered the KATSU ramp's , mainly because they are lightweight. Thank's all regarding timber ramp's.My freelander is more reliable and cheaper ter run than your big freelander
