In this video, I thought I’d talk about using car ramps and do a review of the Rhino Ramps (11909) 12,000 lb ramps.
*Please leave a 👍 if you like the video!*
**Note: There are some reviews on Amazon, where users have complained of damage to the ramps. I personally have not experienced any damage to my set of ramps, but I wanted you to be aware.**

Can I fill the 2 center holes with concrete for extra safety?
Really well made video thank you!
I have these. On a smooth surface as your driving up they will slip.
i dont trust ANYTHING hollow for my car to be sitting on in the air while im under it. f that. ill stick to a solid ramp over a hollow one ANY DAY
Very well thought-out video, thanks. I'm watching because my 11909 rhino ramps often slip on me. I've had them go both forward as I drive up, and once even backward under the car. It's a little scary. I don't wax my garage floor (ha ha), but it's smooth concrete and the oil and fluid stains don't make it any stickier.
Next oil change, which is coming soon, I will try your trick of wedging the ramps right up under the tire before driving. I've done it this way, and now can't recall if it always prevents slipping or not. I've also done it by rolling up slowly and steadily, and that works sometimes, and sometimes slips. If your method doesn't work for me, I'm going to try cheap rubber mats under the ramps, which some people use. . . . And thanks also for the tip about those tire centering marks. Never noticed them before.
As another viewer mentioned, I always put a jack stand on either side as well––either at the jacking point, or under the frame somewhere. You just can't trust the manufacturer's specifications on weight capacity, especially as the plastic ages. Better safe than sorry.
My local parts store had these. My vehicle is 3600 lbs. so I was uneasy about laying under my car when it was propped on plastic ramps. Watching this video has given me a little more confidence to make the Rhino purchase. I will not be paying the mechanics shop $120 for my OW-20 fully synthetic oil change. Oil+filter+ramps= $88 and only $50 after because I won't be buying new ramps every time. Thank you for the video.
Has anyone use these rhino Ramps for a newer style Camaro
Hi .if anybody using this ramps. I don't think it will be safe to go under the car How ever I have an idea you can fill it with a cement then you can use it for any car. Remember when the cement dry. But you also need a two wheel dolly for that to move them because they will be heavier. idea! Got that
They don't give a lot of clearance under the car.
While I am all about safety, I do wonder about the necessity of chocking the tires on ramps. Between the car being in park (locking the transaxle for the front wheels) and the parking brake locking the rear tires, I really do not see much if any risk that the car will roll off the ramps.
