you can move the whole thing around even with a car on it, it cost
£800 but priceless in terms of accessibility and safety.

Care to elaborate on your judgement?

It ought to be obvious to anyone why those ramps are unsafe.![]()
There's no'guide' runners to prevent the car running off the side of the ramp or the flat sections.
The sloped runup is ridiculously insecure, inadequate and unsafe.
I don't see anything to stop the car rolling backwards off the ramps.
I don't know how much the platforms weigh but I'd imagine an unskilled driver could make the whole mess move forwards or separate at some critical moment(either on the way up or down) resulting in a trashed car.
There's no guarantee as to the integrity of the wood used or the fixings that hold the sorry mess together.As the car drives onto the ramp and moves along it the stresses and strains within the structure will change quite rapidly and if there is a weakness then this is the moment it will show itself.
BTW, I'm not disputing that wood is a strong material if used correctly.
Those ramps should be on the same H&S nightmare video as the skateboard ramps posted on here a few weeks ago![]()
