Review on 🚗 RhinoGear 11912ABMI RhinoRamps MAX Vehicle Ramp - Pair: 16,000 lb. GVW Capacity by William Auditore

I have been using ramps to service my cars for several years. I ruined my last set by accelerating my F-550 too quickly, the hard stop had bent the ramps and distorted them. They didn't collapse. My old ramps were RhinoRamps, rated at 12,000 pounds and 12 years old (I mentioned age because the plastic could lose strength over time). The new 16,000 pound ramps are wider and a little heavier so I'm hoping they're ok as long as I control the speed of my truck going up the ramp and stopping. pounds total body weight. How many people know the GVW of their vehicle and then how much weight is on the front of the vehicle? The ramps are stamped at the bottom £4,000 each, making a total of £8,000 per pair. The stamped ramp rating should be consistent with how the product is being sold. My truck is an F-550 with a gross vehicle weight of 17,500 pounds. According to this review, the ramps will not support my truck. My empty truck weighs 10,000 pounds with 4,500 pounds on the front axle. Based on these numbers I'm sure the ramps will be enough to support my truck. Why Have Marketers Confused With GVWR? Big numbers look impressive but are meaningless. The bottom line is that ramps are fine for anything up to 400 pounds per ramp, or 8000 pounds overall. I am very embarrassed but I have one good thing to say about this product. The first time I went up the ramps they shot and skidded across the concrete floor. I then laid on structural concrete and then folded the right ramp in like a taco. I climbed the ramp cautiously, and the force slowed. The left ramp may have been a few inches farther from alignment, but structurally the ramp should not have suffered structural failure. Very disappointed with this product and consider it unsafe for large SUVs and pickups. My truck was within 4.00 pounds for the ramp rating, you didn't have to use ramp jacks. Buyer Warning!
