The main frame is 40x40x6, the risers are 25x25x3 & the braces are 25x6 flat.

They weigh just over 20kg each.

I don't know the specifics of Elty's ramps but usng that MG wheel as reference at quick glance I'd say they were the same size

I would say they are roughly the same size.
I would say mine are more heavy duty, we'll have to compare ramps one day. Seeing as we only live less than half a mile from one another

I would regard those as being DIY/domestic duty, one day I might replace the pair I had stolen by Swifty, but now having a hoist the need is not so great, Rick

Hopefully my Patrol would beat that at the moment as I have just had the drop links removed so no arb to front or rear to stop flex. However am in the process of making new ones that are a bit longer than standard to allow for the lift.
One problem you will have with that patrol off road is that towbar will plough every thing you drive over, it looks bigger than the one that was on mine and that was a nightmare.

Kind regards

Russell.

I'd say i'm in the welterweight category, can I bring mine? Had an F350 on them once with a twin axle and they survived
