Default Ramp hire in Leeds

Hi chaps

Does anyone know of anywhere that does ramp hire by the hour/day ?

Got a bit of maintenance lined up for the car that I want to do myself and ramps would make it a load easier (no garage at my gaff).

Lee

I have major clearance issues in getting any trolley jack under the car. I have to very carefully drive up small packer chocks to just get the trolley jack under. Time isn't a luxury I have unfortunately and having struggled before, makes sense to use ramps if possible.

Ideally I need to be able to stand up with my head in the engine bay to sort out my wiring etc which will be an absolute b!tch upside down on my back. LOL
