Hew wide is the base of these metal ramps? I'm wondering about the
relatice safety of a stack of 2X12's ---


I do.  I have two sets, old green ones that are stamped in shape,
as opposed to welded-up ones.  I always felt safer under the stamped
ones since they looked to me as being less likely to buckle suddenly,
as they weren't dependent on rigid straight sections to begin with.
I expect, but have no proof of, a more gradual failure mechanism.

But a nice jack stand or two underneath in addition is an nice
life preserver.
