Blitz Rhino Ramp Extreme 12000 sells for considerably less anywhere else November 22, 2009

I purchased these ramps on sale for thirty eight at Advance Auto Parts (normally they run forty five). Other local stores sell them for fifty to sixty, so even with the cost of shipping ninety two plus five more for shipping is a ripoff. I checked the website for blitzusa to confirm which one this is -Blitz only sell two ramps, and #11905 is the Rhino ramp 12000. Blitz Rhino Ramp 12000 Extreme
I used to have trouble with a pair of steel ramps which often hit the bumper on a couple cars I used to own. When this happened the bumper would sometimes push the ramps forward before the car's weight could get on it, and if one ramp slid farther forward than the other or moved to one side as it slid, this seemed potentially dangerous. I also had problems sometimes with the tires slipping when I tried to go up the steel ramps. Eventually I got rid of the steel ramps.
The 2007 redesign of the Camry has a low bumper that often scapes the curb in parking lots, so I wondered if these Rhino ramps would work with my car. After reading reviews of other car owners who had no problems I decided to give them a try. It turns out the rounded front bumper of my 2007 Camry projects out farther in the middle than it does in front of either tire and I had no problems whatsoever driving up on the ramps. The texture on the ramps seems to work well because I didn't have any problems with slipping either.
I certainly didn't need the heavier Rhino Ramps 12000 Extreme for my car (a pair of these weigh 21 lbs, compared to 15 lbs for the Rhino ramps 8000). Blitz Rhino Ramp 8000 However because of a special sale price right now, these heavy duty ones only cost me three dollars more. The size of these two models of Rhino ramps in the store seems identical and unless you turn them upside or heft them, I don't think you could tell them apart. When you turn them upside down both have vertical "panels" of plastic under the ramp for support, and the only difference I could see was the Rhino Ramp Extreme 12000 had a lot more of them to support 50% more vehicle weight (so they are spaced only 4-6 inches apart).
Two handles on each ramp make it easy to pick them up and carry one in each hand. There's a hole so you could hang each one on a heavy nail. You can't stack them the way you can stack steel ramps, however there's more contact with the ground to make them less likely to slide (and less likely to sink into soft ground), the surface of the ramps seems less slippery than the steel ramps I've looked at, and they can't rust the way steel can. They seem very stable and well-built. There's some rubbery plastic material to give more traction with the ground at the back of the ramps and that's the only part I imagine might either get worn (or turn hard and degrade) quickly. These ramps lift a car 6.5 inches off the ground so and so long as that's enough to change my oil, these will be exactly what I need.

This ramp is good for small cars. It may be powerful when you get the car up, but first you have to get the car on the ramp! With my BMW 650i, the ramp keeps sliding away and creating dangerous situations. It slid 6 out of 6 time and thank god it slid away from car and did not hit anythung serious, but it can also damage the car. When one slides and the other tire stays half way up, the car is slanted and you are always scared if one of the ramps gets wedged under the car. Then you are screwed really good!
I recommend this ramp for light cars with plenty of clearance. I wish they would make one with lower height and longer (lower degree of ascend).

I was trying to decide between buying a hydrolic jack versus a ramp for oil changes on my 97 BMW 328i. I used to use my dad's jack and saw that one of our neighbors used a ramp and simply drove his car up to get underneath. Jacks were about $100 where these ramps were a lot less. They have anti-slip pads which prevented the ramps from sliding as I drove up them and the wheel well helps you easily identify when your car is position. Plenty of clearance for my oil change. Product is heavy duty yet light weight so easy to store. Great choice for amateurs and cheapskates like me.
