    Any one has experience with these? Pros and Cons! Pricing?! Basically, I'm interested in Repair Shop Ramps, they don't have to be the specific brand from the photo, but would like to find ones that are full truck length rather than singles under each wheel!

    Local tech school had one. If the truck didn't have lockers, you had to be at a crazy speed to get up the ramp as it usually briefly lifts an axle. Pain in the butt to work around. Basically a pit without a pit. The individual wheel lifts are alot superior IMO. Smaller, not banging you head off them and more access to the truck. Also can be moved bay to bay or put aside if not needed. I would take a pit over the full lift and a scissor lift or 2 air wheel lifts over it. Even if I could get one for free I don't think I'd take it. Kills an entire bay.
    What are your goals for one? Replacement for a pit for services? Or more advanced repair?

    I have solid floor, and using jacks. The single ramps are always sliding, at least one. I am thinking of a ramp that is stationary in front, but can be raised up at the rear once truck is on. Buddy has one but is custom made and came with the shop when he leased.

    Needed for alignment, ease of access, etc. Shop is under construction, trying to get equipment that will save time and be more precise than jacks!

    I used a Mohawk 25K ramp hoist for years. It was very nice but the portables are the new and best thing going as @pushbroom says. If you have the coin, that is. I would most definatley consider a Mohawk In the running though, it provided many years of reliable service. A fully equipped Mohawk will also provide as your alignment bay. This will probably be the best bang for your buck for an alignment rack.

    This Mohawk portable lift looks very sturdy. I gotta find the best set up for the money. Don't want to overspend and end up with equipment that I'll be paying off for the next 50 years! But I am definitely focusing on the portable lifts...
