If you guys want to see a slick setup for the ramp version, contact Monte Mars. He put together a couple of these back to back with flip latches that keep them connected while stored.
I like the stability of the good tire resting on the top pad ( Typically the block lengths are 24", 21",& 15"). I can speak from experience that using the ramps, reduces down time by as much as 50% (maybe not that much when used in coordination with a bottle of Jack).
A little story, if you would. The nice DOT officer at the weigh station, in the southwest corner of Iowa, below Council Bluffs, use to push us up against the wall, in high school and take our lunch money..................uh.....sorry. Had flashbacks.
Seemed to take great pleasure in doing a full inspection on any Prestige vehicle that happened by. On one ocassion, he shut us down because we had surge hydraulic brakes on our haul trailer, instead of a straight electric system. The stack of 7 trailers was not allowed to move until shifted to an electric brake trailer or until the hydraulic system was replaced by electric on the trailer in question.
It is hard to describe how much fun it is to rent a crane and unstack seven trailers, then restack them onto another haul trailer, in the middle of bum.......in the middle of nowhere.
So my brake specialist and I loaded up the needed materials, drove the 9 hours to BFE .... uh.... to nowhere. We pulled the front axle upon these ramps, removed the hydraulic drum system from the rear two axles, that were suspended in the air, replaced with straight electric backing platesand drums, then backed the rear axle up the ramps and completed the same work on the front axle. From start to finish, everything was operational and the driver was on his way within two hours. Then we happily drove the 9 hours back home.
