Car Service Ramp
« on: September 03, 2008, 08:21:55 PM »
Anyone knows where I can get one of these in Singapore?

These are lot more convenient than stands and I really hate going under the car to put stands while the car is supported by the hydraulic jacks.
Thanks a million!

Go to those Army Surplus store that sells ammo boxes etc etc,  you can find those very good stands for your car when u need the lift. Tough & Strong Tripod style kind.

Btw, y Sillypore? are you a Singaporean or you call yourself Sillyprean?

My wonder only la...cos I pretty proud of my own nationality...No offend, just wondering...

Thanks for the info. Singapore got surplus store meh? I only know beach road....
The tripod type autobacs also have but those need a hydraulic jack to lift the car first. Then have to go under the car to put the stands in. That was what I did long long time ago and I hated it... Moreover, I have to store 3 pieces of equipment... No room in my flat lah. The foldable ramps use less space and just drive on and drive off. Easier...

Actually, feeling very much like a Sillyprean now.... Let's not start a patriotic debate here... Hahahahhaha
Let's just say my patriotism has been over shadowed by materialistic and meritocratic considerations which is the cornerstone of the polices that our MIW had developed.

Yes, I mean those cos they are the safest way to suspend your car rather than using those ramps.

In every country, there's pros & cons. I have learn this thru my travelling trips to diff countries that no matter how or what, Singapore is still one of those stable and safe country to be in and of cos for those 02 pointers they comes with a price.

Not suitable for Latio as the 9 1/4 inch clearance is too high for Latio front spoiler.

The side of your front spoiler will hit the ramp, even if your Latio does not come with body kit.

Tripds are always ok. Adjustable height. The only worry is for lowered cars with rear body kit... Might strike ground if front jacked up too high.

It is not lift height that matters. It is the ramp angle. That is what the extensions are for. They reduce the ramp angle.
If you see the heavy duty ramps on the same site, those may have problems because they have steep ramp angles although they lift about the same.
Used those in the U.S. on camry and a lowered Chevy Monte Carlo without problems.
Tail strike is not really an issue with our car.
