Is that a real thing ? Haven't ever seen it served in the MB area (we always frequent local places too).
Pffft, no, I was serious - it sounds good ! But I see what it is now....Lol. I hope you're kidding. It's an acronym.....
TIL learned a new one, thanks!Lol. I hope you're kidding. It's an acronym.....
worst case you die. no biggie.
awkay ma dood
being that way I feel safe rn about this magnificent purchase
hope no one buys it before I can pay for 'em
In addition to all the prior concerns with the ramp, I don't like how the back tires are unable to rest on a flat surface. Appears it would need to be longer.
I would struggle to get under that car on those. But even with "corporate produced ramps" I plan my escape and, of planning to do more than break the oil plug loose, often throw a floor jack or jack stands in places in case the plastic ramps I have decide to crumble.
That was a placement issue, not a product defect. Solid wood ramps are way more sturdy than that steel thing and those plastic types. This better for ya,
If I'm understanding what the OP is looking for, neither of these measure up. He wants to raise both the front and the rear of the car, so it will be close to level when raised.
I totally get it. This is one of the reasons I don't use ramps. I want a car to be level when working on it.
@Saikou, have you considered something like QuickJack? Is there something like these available in Spain? Perhaps it isn't in your budget, but something like this should do what you are looking for.
Ramps in the front, a jack stand at the back.
Or if you're doing 4 wheel brakes, three jack stands,
Look up Kwik-Lift. I have one and am pretty happy with it. The ramps are heavy but they dismantle into two segments when you want to store it.
Obligatory 1000 Ways to Die TV show reference. You know if you have to ask, you probably already have doubts. If you have doubts, you probably should not be getting under the vehicle like that.

No forward stops, you are very brave indeed. And accurate!
As long as you can count to five, you're golden.
The stands have pads so they don't sink in.Three jack stands on asphalt.
Just like others mention the legs need some bracing. And it looks so steep that the rocker panels would be scratched across that peak point coming up the ramp. Also doesn't look real stable, like if the car had a decent side push, I'd want them longer and wider, with some sort of support for the side push deal.
