Flat jack - levelling air cushions (52 Viewers)

[StillGoing]

The Dutch motorhome next to me is using air cushions. Has anyone used these? Any opinions? Are they better and easier than the normal plastic ramp?

Thanks!

I suppose they take the contour of the tyre but probably need deflating to get off them.
And they will take up less space in the van.

I’d imagine they are easier if you aren’t any good with a clutch, or a nervous driver.

Probably only needs 17psi and the volume isn't huge. So probably easy to inflate. I suspect the lift isn't quite as good as a ramp though. And probably not as good a chocking you against the slope.

Not a lot of lift, from looking at the photo Might well woble more as well.

The fifth wheeler parked next to me at the Bash this year had some, I was most envious but, if I remember correctly, they were expensive in comparison.

Sorry, can't remember his handle?

Don't forget, the fire service use air jacks to lift vehicles....even HGV trailers.
While these are smaller the lifting ability will be comparable.

Seen a large Hymer using them at Edinburgh club site a few years back, I thought they looked good and easy to use.

A bit wobbly though?

4' x 4' square used to be 19,99 about 40 years ago & connected to the exhaust would lift a vehicle to change tyres,etc.
We used to use them for replacing /direction change of 4 foot square air conditioning outlets on celings off the top of a personnel lift.

Temu sell them but only smaller ones .I've just bought a 16" x 6" one today
