Just wondering what fitting costs especially the electrical side of things is...

You either have a very tall garage, or your car will be rather flat after the ramp's first use!

For the electrics, it says both single and three phase models are available.

For badger baiting or cockfights?

mainly so i can easily work under the car

[JeffD]

You can se the maximum height it will raise to which sounds handy so no worries about flattemning your motor :-)

I have used a pit in past as my dad has one - really good but I think ramps are more versatile - pits by reason have to be narrower than your car and you stil have to jack car up if you need to remove wheek etc for the job.

Ideally Id like to buy one and have the sellers come and install it etc so yo know its wired up correctly and all safe etc.

looks good but you have to think, Would you trust it enough to put your car on, go under it and not worry about it falling on you??

they're the same ones as we have at work, they are really good, dead reliable and easy to use. They do go up a long way though and are very tall themselves.
