daverclasper Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hi Any top tips to stop them from slipping, using common garden utensils/materials please. These are fairly high, steeper slope ones. Car on Street, so can't drill in batten etc. Any help great please. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Hello Dave. Are you driving the rear wheels up on to the ramps or the front ?? I have never had an issue with ramps moving forward when driving up on to them in the garage which has a concrete floor. One tip you can try and it does work is to place rubber mats under the base / feet of the ramps; they will stop the ramps moving along the floor. Hope that assists ?? Good luck. Richard.

Colin Lindsay Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Loop old strips of carpet around the first rungs, overlap by about three feet so that you have two layers of carpet, the tyres drive onto that and it holds the ramps in place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mishmosh Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Use rubber car mats under the ramps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnD Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 If car on street, how is it that you have enough room to use ramps? At least half a car length needed, so you can drive up onto them. Suggest invest in a jack! Plus axle stands, unless you use the ramps as stands. And no need for extra space. If you must persist with ramps, may I respectfully suggest that modifying them with carpet, rubber mats etc is a dangerous bodge? Working under a car is hazardous - and Triumpheros are an endangered species! John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougbgt6 Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Good advice John, I've decided my days under the car are done. Just waiting on a new silencer system from the club shop and I'm not embarrassed to say I'm taking it to the tyre and exhaust place to have it fitted.

dave.vitesse Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 As Jon said one method is to jack the car up and push the ramps under the wheels. Its one I use. But you do need a jack that will lift the car high enough. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
