@pro70z28 Thank you very much for the very inspirational photos much appreciated mate!
What you have been able to show in a few photos is that this is not as difficult as some of the poster's here have made out.

Bob, methinks that the manufacturing of ramps and selling them would be considerably different to the selling of PLANS for someone else to construct the ramps.

Basically, if an architect drew plans for a building design to what you want, and an engineer approved the design, then YOU...

Some interesting information regarding ramp designs

Did you know that there is engineering methods that can be used to increase safety factors?

Well the immediate thing...

[gasgrassorarse]

Gday, as the title suggests, Im after some car ramp plans that I can make myself.

Basic ideas are that I want to make the platform section around 350mm high, 300mm wide (across the tyre) and 500mm long (from front of ramp to back) and approximately 1200mm long ramp section which is...

Whos to say that the seller is not a licenced electrician or power worker?...
