Default Anyone Got Any Ramps? Or Ideas?

Bit of a long shot maybe, but has anyone got any ramps like this?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/car-ramps_W0QQ...1%7C240%3A1318

I've got an extra long 7.5 tonne wagon and it would be ideal to shift a car in, but to get one up I'd need properly long ramps, and obviously can't be too steep.

These would be ideal, but at £600 if I were to buy them it would defy the object of using my own wagon to save a bit of time and money, lol

Cheers

Waaaaaaaay over priced,you will get ramps cheeper from the likes of recovery equipment manufacturers or here

Other option is to get roadside crash barrier and modify them.

They're no good at all, they're only 6ft long, lol!

The ones on eBay are 18ft long

If you are not any good with metal stuff, any half competent welding place could knock these up for a LOT less than these overpriced ones.
