I'm interested in what you hear back on this. I have access to (for no cost) a
pair of ramps for a drive on lift. My nephew bought a lift recently and the
holes in the ends of the ramps were drilled wrong. The company replaced them,
and didn't want the originals back. The Kwik-lift idea looks like a good use
for these things. Overkill, probably, but the price is right.
