How do you store your car ramps?

[tyback]

Cleaning my garage today and storage space as you know is a premium. How do you store your car ramps? Those old ramps you just use every now and again. They seem to always be in my way but I don't want to get rid of them. Let's see how you store them.

I stack them and set them outside on the side of the garage. the black is faded but in 20+ years they are not rusty, surprisingly...I keep threatening to get rid of them but somehow keep finding a reason not to. sometimes it's easier to just set them out for a quick job than pulling in and using the lift.

I put two lag bolts in a wall stud and hang them up, mine are the old style that have the protruding holes in the ramp portion.

I have Race Ramps stored in their OEM box. I just deal with them standing upright in a corner.

I hang mine on the wall.

simple screw as high as you can reach and hook them on. mine hang so the bottoms are at about 8 feet. never in the way.

I built a rudimentary shelf out of some scrap wood placed pretty high up for my race ramps and traditional style ramps.

So far in the back of a shed, that I can never get to them...

I store mine in the landfill. I started storing them there after I had one fail. Chris

Mine hang on the wall in a dead corner between the man door and garage door. They JUST fit.

Used a couple wheel barrow hangers and some scrap 2x4 to hang mine on the wall. Put the hanger about 1/2" above the top of the ramp to give me enough room to get the ramp onto the board. Hanger then just keeps the ramp from tipping over.

They are actually hanging on the wall tapered end up. Not sure why I can't get the picture to post upright.

I had mine hanging on the end of a shelf, now I just set them on the floor with the tall end down and tucked up next to the wall.

Under a workbench with a box of oil on top.

To take it a bit further, I made a "story Pole" to align them for each car.

It is a piece of aluminum angle marked for the widths of the various family cars.
I use it to place the ramps at the right widths, and parallel to each other.
Then, I use it along the side of the car to show when the car is all the way forward on the ramps.

On the floor standing up on end.

I have them on a little sliver of wall between the large double doors and the small single door.... blessed with a 3 car...

You can see them on the corner. I used some scrap wood screwed into the studs and a 4 inch deck screw in to the wood and used the hole that was there from the factory to hang them. The wood was cedar fence picket that I had picked up off the curb for a project. I had some left so I cut to length and attached it to the wall. It'd only about as wide as the ramps. Don't mind the mess. I have cleaned it up considerably from that. I've been in it since early June, but took on several big projects in the house for wood working and refinishing a few things that I've been working on. That little corner of the garage is slowly getting cleaned up. I had just hung the ramps and completed the little shelves for the jackstands and made the hanger for the folding ramp. All from scrap I had floating around the garage. Its coming together nicely. I snapped that photo for a friend that had asked what I was doing that afternoon..... I told him I was organizing.
