We bought a pair of these items last year and initially were happy with them. They gave us enough adjustment to get the MH level easily and they are shaped so that the wheels sit in a curved part and are held firm.
After about three months of use they started to show signs of crushing, but still did the job. A few weeks ago we were at a steam rally and one of the ramps cracked between the first and second levels, but only on one side. A week ago, while setting up at Pickering steam rally, it cracked again, this time down the other side, but held together. When I moved off the ramps at the end of the rally the it split completely in two.
Because I liked the amount of height they gave I decided to replace them, thinking that it was probably rough ground that had caused the failure. When I looked on the Johns Cross website they could not be found, so I checked Fiamma's web site for them. They are now not listed by Fiamma, so I rang Johns Cross to see if they had them in stock. It would appear they have been discontinued. I wonder if this is anything to do with the fact that they snap in half ?
I have now ordered a pair of Milenco Quattro Levels from Johns Cross, so lets hope that they last a bit longer than the Fiamma ones did. I will keep the odd Fiamma one which will do to level up in my drive.
