So when are you marketing your 'aliminium' (trademarked??) ramps so we can all benefit from their wonderful design and reasonable cost. Will they be widely available in leisure stores or mail order only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 For amusement's sake I've resurrected this 2-year-old forum discussion. Although Milenco's website entry for their Quattro levelling ramps still carries the contentious statement that originally provoked this thread "...Pocketing the wheel at every height eliminating the need for chocks..." I notice that the company's latest advert in MMM (June 2012 issue, page 220) says something different. Quattro levels are now advertised as follows "...They pocket and better support the tyre at every height without chocks (use handbrake)..."
