Saw this on another forum and I think it is a smart idea. Anyone got any thoughts or a better solution for working under a car in a normal garage?

I have a very shallow pit normal Halfords ramps and a high lift jack and high axle stands.
At least one Locoster has bought a high lift pallet truck for the purpose

Seems like a good idea, but I think it's quite expensive for what you actually get, and also very bulky to store. It would have been better if they had been designed to fold flat.
How much????!
My inclination would be to make some big chassis stands, and buy a decent jack with plenty of lift, Machine Mart do one for 4X4s about £200, then get a crawler. Those stands look like they are going to get in the way too much, you couldn't get underneath from the sides, and you couldn't stand close to the cockpit side either.

i made a cheap one of these for a guy it worked out to about 50 quid for the jack and 400 for the ramp fully made and painted, worked very well and made working on the car dead easy.

I'd still get/buy some tall axle stands and a good jack. As has been said, those ramps really limit sideways access and will be a pig to store.
