There was a block of wood under for some of the time, while I was working under the wheels were still on so pretty safe (if it dropped onto its wheels there is still room for me underneath), this was taken just before the wheels whent back on. While I was painting the chassis it was on the jacks for about 10 days and didn't budge.

Joy.... My little bird of paradise... This thread is from 2015...
So no doubt all sorted... "Safely"...![]()
I would love these jacks ,but when I checked the weight of the kit it was a no no,are these fitted to van or normal jacks? fed up with my millenco triple ramps and are looking for alternative.

That is clearly incorrect given the photographic evidence that only the inner ram of the rears show chrome degradation and all the other ram parts are clearly a machined unplated SS product. As for jacks being coated to protect against corrosion, I believe that refers to the body of the jack which is sprayed with an underseal type product during installation.Its always been my understanding that the foot plates are stainless steel, but the rams are a hardened steel chrome plated and ground to size the chrome plating will give a certain amount of corrosion resistance hence the need to spray them from time to time very similar in construction to motorbike front forks, dont think you could achieve the strengths properties, wear resistance needed with stainless steel.

Interesting that the link says
Where corrosion resistance is required stainless steel can be used as an upgrade

Keep us informed on what he saysI think they need replacing but not had a reply from Mick yet. I'll try ringing later.![]()

I hope not he has got to fit our front air but I did say no rush, maybe not the thing to sayHe is absolutely chocka block![]()
Cheapskate!So if I'd paid six grand instead of £4,800 I could have had all 8 rams made of stainlessinstead of 6
By not divulging the specification it leaves them free to use what they like. Most customers probably go Shineeewithout spotting a difference until the chrome ones corrode.

The remote came in extremely handy for me when solo at Lyndon Top. The ground on the bottom field slopes away, and with the aid of 4 x interlocking ramps, I was able make blocks and carry out fine adjustment at each jacking point, using the remote to lift the front quite high and level. It would have been a right faff with the hard wired control.Hi Jock and Rita
I have just added the remote to our new ones today, apparently they are discontinuing it in preference to the clip out LCD screen so I grabbed the last one that SAP had![]()
For sure, it takes some getting level in the bottom fieldThe remote came in extremely handy for me when solo at Lyndon Top.

This must be a manufacturing fault that surely will quickly be sorted out by E&P, otherwise severe damage will be done to their reputation. They look like something you might see on a twenty year old digger.This is a front leg and both rams have machining marks so definitely turned from solid stainless. No corrosion at over 4 yrs old

This is a rear leg and the primary ram is machined stainless with no corrosion but the inner or secondary ram is chromed steel and corroding.
