Milenco Quattro's. Superb. Good fit for tyres too.

I too had the Milenco Quatros but they were too high for my low rear ground clearance and didn't clear the waste water outlet. I changed them for their "triples" which work fine and takes up less room.

Hi

4.5 tons per wheel, axle or total? Wink

I cut some square sided wood blocks that are about 10" wide and 3" deep as that will also act as a base for my jack and were free.

When after about 2 years one split I bought some plywood, and cut it into approx 2' long and 10" wide strips. Gluing and screwing these together to make one block, these have ended up stiffer but also lighter which I didn't expect for the same size. I've also drilled holes in one suitable for mounting a small vice on, which can be held in place for use by jacking the block down into the ground a little from the bumper/towbar. Only used once but was handy at the time Smile You could also drill a couple of holes to thread some decent rope though for handles to both carry and pull them up if you've sunk a little.

Our wheel size makes needing a ramped block irrelevant, but if you made some out of ply, you could produce any profile and height you wanted to suit your wheels. Perhaps not free, and not as light as any plastic ones, but would take up a similar space at least? And plastic vacuum formed won't present much of a footprint to stop you sinking on soft ground, or do I have that wrong?

Smile
