I just wanted to say how pleased I am with my new hose ramp from restormate ( John Kelly) 

Its just the right size, very lightweight, but strong.

And its cheap

Chris R. What are the sizes of ya ramp? Gotta mate in fabrication and im gonna ask him to make me one up.

[stevegunn]

They are made of reinforced marine ply coated with line x and are non slip too.For the price of them it's not worth messing about getting them fabricated

[Buster Ingram]

Your dead right Steve they do look smart and small enough to tuck away in your van. And above all they are the right money too.
I carn't wait for Chris to visit me again ( guess what I'll be tucking away in my van)

ive made one of these 40 quid materials, it just like the hydramaster ones which sell at 250 its got hinge and folds in half. its sprayed yellow and has the black grip tape on, it real good job, i would say yes give it a go make yourself one.

I've been considering getting a few of these but I've got one question about them...I can see you using them on pavements to allow the public to get past, but if for example, you're on a one way road and you can't park on the correct side of the road but there's a space directly opposite, can they be used as ramps for cars to get over the hoses if you decide to have them going across the road??

Cheers,

Dave

Hi Dave, we supply the hoseramps. Although they are extremely robust and do take the weight of a vehicle I don't think they would be suitable for use in the way you envisage. Constant vehicular traffic would eventually have a detrimental affect as it would to any of the commercially available ramps. They are designed for footpath use to enable prams, bikes and motorised wheelchairs to negotiate your hoses safely.
For road use I would recommend rubber mat types similar to those used on temprary traffic light cables and the such.

supprised you even answered that John

While on the subject does anyone know where I can get a cheap ramp (New or secondhand) for getting a heavy porty in and out of a van?

Has anyone made one?

Got mine today, and agree with Chris R

Great ramp, much more practical than the others iv seen at Alltec or Woodbridge
and lightweight, cant fault it.

A picture of the ramp in use. Gives a better idea of its size.
