Pat, If these ramps will support 3000Kg safely I see no problem. I never get beneath a car trusting on one lifting device. I always support whatever end of the car I have up on the ramps with either the 3 ton floor jack or else an additional pair of heavy duty jack stands along the frame and sometimes all three. Once supported I also rock the car back and forth to test the stability of the supports. I am not a big fan of ramps and prefer the floor jack and heavy duty jack stands but I have a set and use them occasionally but never without an additional support. I also "chock whatever set of wheels are on the ground and if the rear wheels I set the e-brake as well to prevent roll back.
