The hoist is an older 4 post so the bed is aprox 80mm high, plus the jacking beams at aprox 80mm again.

That was in a pretty polished garage floor and I'm in a different house now with much grittier concrete. Others thing I'm scared about using them is if I'll drive off the end of will the lip on them be enough to stop me with the amount of forward momentum needed to drive up the ramps.A very good solution for this, which Phill showed me is to use those matts that you put on your dash to hold sh*t there.They are like sticky pads to hold your phone on the dash. I have no idea what they are called.I put the ramps on top of those mats at the maint day and just drove up onto them slowly. My car is not lowered but it helped getting the trolley jack under the car.
