Default WARNING : Recall Alert!!!

I have a topic going in 87-91 forum about the best car jacking points. Several of you recommended car ramps. I went to Murrays today and they said that they just recalled the ramps because they were not holding cars up . I posted here so everyone can see this regardless of model year.

I went to Pepboys and picked up some Davric Car ramps on sale too, they said the Davric have not been recalled. I went to the website (www.davric.net) and no notice there. But to any of you that bought car ramps (I don't t know the brand) from Murray'* or a subsidiary check your ramps out!

rhino ramps are probably the most common. i dont think those have any recalls? they look like an excellent design.

I just went out and tested the Davrics and I'm not pleased, I'm switching to Rhino, Here are a few pics.

They are not non-skid, plus they were bending.

o.k having formerly lived near Detroit, I took this post entirely the wrong way.

Back on topic please. The lounge is one section above this.

You won't be dissapointed in the Rhino ramps.

I use my rhino ramps for my full sized Chevy 1/2 ton pickup with 4wd and 8 foot bed. It'* a heavy one and the ramps don't bow at all. They are very well constructed.
