DIY Car Servicing Ramp

[EmersonHart13]

He has three engineered beams evenly spaced and then tied together on the top bottom front and back with 1" and a quarter plywood. Yes inch and a quarter. All glued and screwed. The sides are the outside of the actual beam.

Seriously you could park a Mack Truck on these. I want to build a set but I think I will substitute standard lumber for the engineered beams. He got the beams for free from his neighbor. They are completely unnecessary though.

Engineered is used for longer unsupported spans. This span is completely supported so all it does is reduce weight.

Yes that would suffice

The best part is he is parking a Cobra on them. How much do those weigh? like 3000 soaking wet with the entire offensive line from the Chicago Bears inside?

lol

I want to say those cars are sub 2,500 lbs without driver.

 

[EmersonHart13]

Yeah, holy over-engineered.

Doesn't matter. Still fucking bad ass.

Wow what a thread revival. Id be interested in these as well but probably beyond my pay scale

I'm building a set today I plan to do 12x12 and somewhere between 12-15" tall will figure out the height as I go, I may only do 2 today I haven't decided yet if I need a set of 4 or not, but I'm going to use these to drop the Trans out of my mustang for the converter install

PICS when done please

I did a bigger set a couple years ago for my pontoon but I probably posted it in the boat thread
