solution to superglides on ramps?

[jaredszakacs]

hey guys my ramps have superglides on them and i have had to replace them ove three times cause they dont stay bolted down. is anyone else having this issue it seems like my carbides keep breaking the heads of the screws off.

Have you tried riveting them on? Haven't had any issues with ours....

those super glides are like brittle plastic ! no good . use some plexy glass or a better type of plastic 0.o and keep yer bolt holes closer is the edge ...

Read the thread, he is not having trouble with materials. He is breaking the heads off the screws..............

You ever tried to drive a quad up your ramp ?god i hope not, definately a way to get hurt

read my post 0.o and those glides suck .

Is everyone using a plywood backing for the glides on there ramps and screwing into that? or are you guys screwing right into the rungs of the ramp? if you didn't want to use wood I also though you could weld an 8 inch wide thin gauge aluminum plate on and rivet the glides to that...

I hope you slip on the plexy glass, and fall on your ass.



That would be funny as hell!

Mine are just fastened to the ramp.

Counter sink the heads of the screws

Yeah I've torn a lot off the ramp. Either break the heads off or catch a lip of the glide. My rungs are spaced kinda awkwardly so I think I'm just going to use puck board or strips of bedliner.

why not just use a 1/4 in plywood backer, puck board on a ramp seems like an accident waiting to happen...

That how they did it for years. Walk on the rungs.

The nice thing about the superglides is you can walk up the glides with no fear of falling through the rungs and nutting yourself. Lol.

Build a set of skins for under your skis out of a couple crazy carpets? Was thinking about superglides, but not after reading this thread.

put x glides on my deck and ramp last yr, more aggressive than superglides, so far so good....always use xtra screws for when the skis go sideways on the way down...

Nice they look like almost an exact copy but cost less.

+1 for the rivets, My buddy's is riveted and we've never had a problem ever.

The cheap knock off chit princess auto sells works like a charm.... Way thicker comes in a roll. Narrower is all

And here i thought old willy would of just cut up old milk jugs for glides.
