Which levelling blocks

[Fisherman]

I have a set of Milenco quads and a carry bag that you can have for a song when you head up back home Barry. We are in Evesham so easy to pop in and collect. Drop me a line if you are interested.

You do realise Barry will take that offer literally

Very kind of you Graham but I think I want the Maxi T3 as I am convinced they must have larger pockets which in my scientific and in detail analysis suggests a 16" wheel might sit nicely in them for longer term use. Probably. The surface of the pockets looks more solid and less harsh than the other two also.

Noooooooooooooooooo

I really don't like the look of these ludicrously expensive levelling systems where the wheels end up in the air. Same opinion (Right or wrong) applies. I wouldnt want my wheels hanging off the ground for two or three weeks either.

These are not even genuine Fiamma blocks either. I Cant remember where I got them. I think they were about twenty quid.

But surely it's much better for the tyres to be hanging off the ground rather than sitting on anything with the risk of flat spots?

I suppose. I was thinking it might put a strain on something them hanging there but thats probably daft as there is more strain on them sat on the ground. Anyway they look daft.

We have a pair of new Millenco Trident ones in a bag that we dont need any more as we have downsized and cannot afford the space or weight of any extras. They would be ideal for you as they take larger wheels - they are the largest/highest Millenco ones but only 3 wheel positions not four. see pics.
Cost a few pence less than £70 18 mnths ago and the bag cost another £15 - appreciate they are not worth that to you so make me a sensible offer. I can always say no.

Now this will be interesting ....... Barry's favoured ramps new with bag and cheaper than retail ............ could this be the end

Not necessarily as I prefer the look of these. Look less harsh on the tyres and the biggest 3 level in the world according to Millenco.

Thanks. Very kind of you. Will think about it but as per my post above I think I prefer the design of the Maxi T3. I think shipping them privately might be a problem also. I don't think we discussed the Trident though. Will check the spec against the Maxi.

 

[mry716]

Just as you choose but easy enough to collect if you think they would be ok for you as we are in the middle of the country at Grantham and that is on the A1 so easy access. Plus if you wish you can park o/night as we have water and electrity outside for hook up. AND you would get a free whisky nightcap !

FWIW, I have a pair of Milenco Triples and the 16" tyres on my van permanently deformed them at first use. I've lived with them and the degree of deformation has increased since the photos below were taken. Thus, if you're going for Milenco, I'd suggest either Max or Trident rather than the Triples I have...

Thats another reason I prefer the look of these. The shouldn't deform. They might crack of course. I just can't imagine been up for a week or more on those ones in your picture will be good for the block or the tyre. These might be though. At the end of the day they are just levelling blocks for about half the price of a full tank of diesel. IF they last a couple of years of Baz use then great.

The only thing I do think might be an issue on these massive ones is getting up on concrete surfaces. That initial step up is too steep. They all look like that. I bet it just shoves them along but on concrete the smaller Jumbo steps I have will probably suffice as the slope never tends to be as bad.

This offer is sounding more appealing by the minute!

Very kind cheers but I think I'll go for a pair of Maxis. Might still call in and drink your Scotch though.

You could use the councils levelling system.

No worries.

If anyone else is in the market for a set of Milenco Quattro's drop me a line.

 

[RichardHelen262]

These are on offer with code and come with the carrying bag

Too small I think. Anyway, I have decided Ill go for these. Would prefer to get a look at some first but unlikely. Ill just see if I can find somewhere that does returns if they are no good.

I bought some 'runners' along with the ramps and they clip on underneath so on slippy groung you can clip them on and drive over the runners and that holds the ramps - stopping them slipping so check the ones you are interested in as they may also have that facility
