Video Transcript for Race Ramps Car Lift Service Ramps Review

Hi everyone, Aiden here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at these race ramps, car lift, service ramps. Now we've got it all set up right now just giving our car an extra few inches of lift, but these are really designed to be used in conjunction with something like a scissor lift that will slide underneath your car. So this is gonna be a really great option if you have one of those to give your vehicle a little bit of extra clearance, especially if it's a low to the ground vehicle and allow this to live in a small shop or maybe a home shop if you've got one where you're frequently doing work on your car, it'll give you that extra clearance. You set it up on the lift very easily every time. Let's check it out.

So this is very much set up like a drive on lift where it's going to be one long piece here that's made up of a bunch of smaller pieces. So you drive up onto it and it leaves all that space underneath your vehicle set up for a lift to go or just to give you extra clearance. These do sit up four inches from the ground, so it's not gonna give your vehicle a ton of lift, but to get something under here like a scissor lift, it's gonna be enough just to make sure you don't scrape the bottom of your car and make that setup process easier. Now the ramp section is actually quite short. It's really just this piece because once you get up onto the platform, it's flat all throughout until you get to the front where there's a small stop for your tire so you don't drive too far forward.

But this ramp section will give you a seven degree angled approach, which is great for any low clearance vehicles, and this is probably what you're getting it for, is a low clearance vehicle that needs the extra height to fit over top of one of those lifts that you might have at home. Now these are constructed by high density EPS foam, which keeps things very lightweight. Each ramp in total weighs only 40 pounds, which is really nice because if you do need to move it around then it's easy to do, or if you leave it set up, that's fine too, but it's going to be resistant to any sort of like spills that you might have on here, and it's going to be really strong. So I don't know about you, but for me, I hear foam and I wonder how strong it's gonna be, but it's very dense, very solid, without any give to it, and the coating on top feels a lot like a spray in bedliner. As far as weight capacity goes though, each ramp can support 3000 pounds.

So in total, the whole thing can support 6,000 pounds. Now when you pull this outta the box, you'll notice on the bottom of these pieces it says 1500 pounds. That's because each of these, each four of them can support 1500. So for one tire, 1500 for the front and back. So in total it's 3000 for the ramp.

But when you get your own and you see that at home, that's why it says that, it's because one tire will rest on each of those sections. Now, even if you don't have a dedicated lift that's gonna live underneath your car or between the ramps, I do think this could have a place at home. Let's say for instance, you wanted to get a floor jack under here. Once you've driven up onto the widths, because it's a multi-piece design, just take the middle section out, slide it out of the way, and you've got tons of room under here now to slide a floor jack under and lift the vehicle up a bit. Again, just giving you a little bit more room to work if you just need an extra few inches of clearance. Now, if you're like me though, you're probably thinking that this is way too much to use just at home. I don't have the space for something like this, nor do I have the lift at home to use something like this. For me, if I'm just doing something like an oil change on my vehicle, I just need a little bit of extra room on the front end, that's where a basic set of ramps I think would be a much better fit for myself and for most other people. And we've got tons of options to choose from here on our site, both from race ramps and other brands, if you'd like to check those out. I've actually worked with a set of race Rams very recently that gave you 10 inches of clearance. So it's a lot more lift and it really just goes from the front tires. They also had a heavier weight capacity, so for some larger, heavier vehicles that could be a good fit too. It really just comes down to how you're gonna be using it at home. If you've got the lift that this is designed to be used with, then I think this is a no-brainer. It's gonna make that way easier to use, and if you're frequently using it to work on your car, then I think it's worth it. But for me, who's just occasionally doing some maintenance and for maybe you at home, you probably don't need all this. And a basic set of ramps I think would do just fine, and you can find the right height to match up to your vehicle and give you the clearance you need to comfortably work on your car at home, but if you have the need for something like this in your home or your shop, then I think it's going to be a great fit. It's certainly well constructed and they make it easy to use and break down when it's not in use but that'll do it for our look at this Race Ramp Service Lift Ramps. Thanks for watching.
