I found these hydraulic car ramps online but the company that sells them is in the UK and I do not believe they ship to the united states. Does anyone know of anywhere in the states that makes or sells these type of lift ramps. They would be pretty awesome for working under the car. Here are a couple pictures
Yeah Ide want to see some sort of lock or something. They almost look like the only thing keeping them from collapsing is the hydralic cylinder. No way would I lay under that without some jack stands or some type of lock out.
But they're cool! Be cool if you could sneak a pair under the rear wheels too.

I spent a couple of hours looking for something like the OPs photos earlier this week. Nothing in the US came up with my searches. I tried several word combinations. They do look useful. As stated I would only use them for the lift, and then place jack stands under the car after the lift.
I think they would be nice to have, but I would have the same concerns about no locking system. They may not be able to sell them in the states for that reason?
I didn't look at the link before. Yikes! 478GBP converts to $750 roughly. That's before you pay international shipping for 20# or so of oversized package. Cool, but not nearly $1000 cool.

Yep and shipping in the UK is around $70 USD so across the pond it will be very expensive :-(
I would not mind paying around £200 GBP for them (shipped) but more than that I can live without them ... unless I can find a nice used pair.
As this is the only thread I found mentioning these; I'm plugging for these non-Hydraulic lift stands, I bought 2 pair of these from Bill & they are 100% as advertised maybe even better than advertised. 4 stands are less than 1/2 the price of the jinky quick jacks and simular items.
for example these are the perfect jack for doing sub frame connectors on a 3rd gen camaro for those that do not have room for a drive on lift or can not afford one.

How much did they cost? There is no price on the website.
I saw some posts on other forums from a couple years back (2017) and they were saying about $600 for a set of 4 plus shipping (probably another $150). I like the design, but for that kind of money I'll just build my own.

in august 2018 it was $285 a pair plus shipping 4 stands delivered to my door in Las Vegas, Nevada cost me $763.98 total. compared to the alternative imho I find that was a bargain. they're well engineered, welded and powder coated and solid
price may be more or less now, bill's contact info is on his site and he responds quickly
there's video on his site and youtube of how to use them.
I trust them more than the more than double the price quick jacks and simular products that dont work well on 3rd gens anyway due to unibody design.
even regular jack stands are sketchy on a 3rd gen and you need to have suspension loaded to do sub frame connectors anyway.
I expect bills 100% made in usa lift stands to out live me which is more than i can say for the made in china crapola out there.
those are pretty darn cool . my only concern would be safety locks . I did not see any .
Jegs sells these and they do have safety rods that lock it at whatever height you choose. The only complaint was they broke the foot pump. My guess is they were jumping on it. I have them. They're great.
I made these out of 2x10.
They are extremely stable, and raise the car 12".
I can get them under the tires using my trolley jack on the K member and diff. This leaves me enough room to work under the car and enough clearance to pull the T5 using the same jack.
in the past I've used them with additional 2x10's to get the car high enough off the ground to remove the entire K member / engine / trans.
