I've never had that happen, but that's probably down to luck with surfaces rather than any skill on my part. I've heard of people using a piece of rope or carpet looped round the bottom rung and driving onto that first to stop it sliding. Never had to do it myself though.

My money is on @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AOgetting there first!

I am pretty sure I've seen these that hook over or clip on to the front of the usual metal ramps, in effect giving a much lower and gentler slope onto the ramp. This means once the car's front tyres are on them the metal ramps shouldn't get pushed away as you try and drive onto them.

Might want to fix the title sir 👍

Yep use them all the time; but also found them nearly impossible to drive onto without at least pushing them out of place, and sometimes one would slide further than the other! So I've long since given up driving on and now just lift the car on to them with a trolley jack. As for safety, I've seen axle stands start to topple too, if too much lifting (bad) or sideways forces are applied to the car. (Though I'll always try and make sure high torque items where possible are at least cracked loose while the cars tyres are on the ground, even if some load is being taken on a jack. If I've got both ends of the car raised and one or More wheels off, I'll also put the removed wheel(s) under, or part under the car near where I'm working as a backup; in the insanely unlikely event of it falling off the stands, even if I'm pinned, it will be the wheels taking the bulk of the cars weight, not me!

Still looking

Have a pair of these and find they give you the hight to get a trolly jack underneath and then use axle stands.

I've thought about something like this as I've got a converluted system of home made ramps and blocks to get the car high enough to get the ramps under. It wouldn't pass any health and safety tests.

Hi All, Please can someone recommend an external rain storage cover, a supplier. Preferably one of a heavier material and either elasticated or held with straps under the body. I can see websites advertising covers for all manufactirers of vehicle, but suspect they may not be very custom for the Westfield. Thanks in advance. Mark.

if find those ramps tricky or don’t like them. I pull my car onto these low profile ramps so front car is higher. so i can then Jack it up as front of my car is too low for the low profile Jack to go under without hitting nose cone or side of the car. Then I use axle stands for it. But I still get decent high to change oil or mess around cleaning. But if want more hight/room those ramps or axle stand will be best.

I've honestly never had a problem just driving up onto my ramps and getting on with stuff.

Could you cut the sleepers in half and turn them round?

Fancy!

Ditto- I'd be happier if the sleepers were a tad wider 🤦‍♂️

I tried an old pair that were given to me, impossible to drive onto them as they kept being pushed away due to the light weight of the car a wide tyres. I have a 2 pairs of axle stands with a square section bar welded between them and thin carpet stuck to the bar, works great
