Can a ZTT reverse up a set of ramps
 
Hi need to work on the back exhaust and was wondering if I can reverse up on a set of 200mm ramps ?
Thanks

Answer is yes if you have the runup sections attached

I would think you should be able to do that, but be aware, the problem with putting a car on ramps is usually the ramps slipping along the road/driveway as you drive onto them (especially the lighter rear end of the car). My advice is to use two strips of carpet about 3 ft long, cable-tied to the middle of the ramps. As you drive onto the carpet strips they will hold the ramps in place as you drive onto them. :}

AS above it might be best to jack the car up then put the ramps under the wheels that's how i do it when i have the car on four ramps like in the photo above.

I've got an old pair of Paddy Hopkirk ramps and yes you can reverse up onto them no problem, but as Steve mentioned to drive the front wheels up them you need to knock up some extensions.

That is on a saloon mind, never tried it with a tourer.

I bought a pair of these and modified then to link with my ramps.
