Just bought some Milenco quattro ramps (great service from Kenwood)
On the cardboard wrapping there are pictures showing the proper way of using them, and, more to the point, ways in which they should not be used - stacked on top of each other, etc.
I'm puzzled, however; one of the pictures shows a MH reversed onto the ramps, and it shows this as incorrect - the "proper" way it would seem is to drive forward onto the ramps. I'm at a loss to understand why this is. My very few uses of my previous ramps has taught me to try to let gravity help when getting onto the ramps, if the rear of the 'van is low I would have reversed onto the ramps so that initially the slope was helping me onto the ramp, rather than position the ramp in front of the rear wheels and drive up.
Can anyone throw any light on this?
