Need longer 4-post lift ramps...

[brentmc]

The aluminum ramps I have for my 4-post lift are the standard size, but because my floor is not level with my driveway.

Because the floor is not flush with the driveway, the ramp hangs over the floor by about 14". I have tried to use wood under the ramp, but is not the best solution.

I was thinking about something like car trailer ramps to extend the ramps past the lip.

Any suggestions?

Would car trailer ramps work?

My lift has a slot on the end of the ramp and the ramps have a"tongue" that slides into the slot....

What is the difference in height where the drive meets the garage floor?
Pics might help.

The difference is about an inch--here are pics:

Who made the aluminum ramps?

they came with the lift and are not bent because I am using a wood block to hold the end of them up as I drive on them...

Otherwise, the ends of them stick up above the driveway a couple of inches...

I am wondering if I can either use car trailer ramps with a hook end or somehow modify my set-up to be able to use these ramps.

Northern Tool sells these 5,000 lb ramps that have hooks that look like they would fit.

They do not say they work for cars, but at 2.500 per axle, it looks like it would...

Would you be able to get a new set of ramps and get them cut to fit your application??

I'm beyond confused (but that's nothing unusual)... what's the problem again? Why are those ramps curved at the end?

What was wrong with just using a piece of wood under the ramp?

Also, what would happen if you just kept driving over the ramps? Would they just end up conforming to your driveway shape?

Are you trying to make everything flush so you don't have to drive up an inch or are you trying to support the ramp.
