No, not tried them, but it looks positively dangerous, especially in jack mode.

I’ve never been successful with drive on ramps. They either shift when trying to drive on, or the tyre width is too wide. What’s your thinking, what kind of jobs would you plan to do?

You could opt for a mobile scissor lift, but you can’t work under them. Personally I’d opt for jackpoint stands. You can raise all 4 wheels, and it’s safe enough to work under.

Yeah I agree also, the pivoting point when raised would make it imho fairly dangerous, unless the stands were fixed to the floor, which defeats the object tbh, then they run the risk of tipping.
