As you all know, we try our best to inform our customers so that you know all the safety precautions to take with any item we sell so you don’t get hurt. So before using these ramps we ask you to make sure everyone is clear from the ramps. Never use two ramps on one side of the vehicle. Always be careful to drive up the ramp with the wheels pointed straight and make sure to apply the parking brake. Once you’re done driving the car up on to the platform and putting the parking brake on we recommend that you verify the vehicle is secure and that it won’t roll in any direction.  It’s important when you’re done with your work, that you slowly back down the ramps to ensure you don’t rip off or damage any body work. When utilizing equipment like this you will want to exercise  extreme caution to keep everyone and everything safe from damage or injury.
