Rhino Gear Vehicle Ramp, 16000 Lbs. Weight Capacity

Although I had my doubts about using ramps this lightweight, I'm happy with this product so far. I have two SUVs to support, at 4550 GVWR and 5550 GVWR respectively. These ramps easily support both, without any sign of flexing or instability. I wouldn't recommend them for vehicles much over 6000 pounds, but they'd probably be OK in a pinch. Looks can be deceiving - these ramps seem to be well-designed. The nesting option saves precious shop/garage space, and the light weight is a welcome change. The supporting structure appears to sport a redundant design, allowing for one section to fail without total collapse. The plastic, while thin, is extremely stiff and deceptively strong. I'm confident they'll each support 2 tons all day. The lift height is perfect for my S-10 Blazer - oil changes, starter replacement, inspections will be no problem. Looks like they'll accomodate all but the lowest vehicles regarding front-end clearance. Of course with any ramp this light, slipping is likely to occur. That's the tradeoff. The rubber anti-skid pieces help somewhat, but not that much. However, that's a problem you can mitigate fairly easily by placing rubber mats underneath, or otherwise securing the ramps against something solid. A minor hassle perhaps, but more than offset by the weight and size advantage. The mats do a great job of preventing skids, so I'll simply accept that as a requirement. Beats jacks and jackstands any day. If they hold up over time, this will be one great bargain. 4 oil changes and they're paid for.

Purchased these ramps or the Rhino 1200 a couple years ago and used them about six times to change the oil in my Mustang. This spring when it was about 40° F one of the ramps literally exploded as I drove my car up onto it. Pieces flew thirty feet. We were lucky no one was injuried and no damage resulted to my car. I will not buy another Rhino product nor recommend them to anyone.
