Kraton Lightweight durable jump ramp < $45

[hchan]

Nothing ground breaking here structure or concept wise other than maybe the weight. Couple folks asked about the ramp i use and how it seems to weigh so little making it more portable (relatively) so i put a video together. It’s a cheap build as well assuming you already have tools. $44.72 with tax in the USA for materials at the depot (Just built one for a friend).

Should note that i don't own 8s cars. Friend has hit it a number of times with his 8s and it held up fine, but cant comment on continuous use at 8s. Mine has lasted 4 years on 6s and downward with no issue though.

Thanks for the instructions! Here’s one I built based off of your video

Frankly speaking, I prefer steel or aluminum ramp to wooden one. It is much more durable, stable and versatile. I made my third in order to have it in my trunk and not to be bothered about free space for other things. There are some photos during production process. It weights about 6,5kgs. 800mm length, 600 mm width. And the cost of it is about 50$. Aluminum plate is the most valuable part of construction.
P.S. If there are too much noise from me in your thread - let me know. Sorry for my language either, I try my best.

How did you put the bend on it ?

One of my friends has a thing like this. So, he bent two pieces of square tube for me. Generally it used for bending tubes for greenhouses skeleton.

Generally we use manual device like this. I found some similar tools on Amazon.

I’m having good fun with this ramp my nephew built. Made with Sintra board so it’s extremely light. Not sure it would hold up well if left out in the weather, but it’s so light there’s no excuse.
