I see from my online search to find a solution that car ramps slide when attempting to drive up on them for others also!
I solved the ramp sliding problem I was having by pushing the first few inches of tie down straps from Harbor Freight ratcheting tie downs through the top of each Rhino ramp's centering hole. I used the end of the strap that was just strap without the hook so its flat thin end could be pushed through the hole. This hole is there in the front of each ramp to help you center the middle tire tread with the center of the ramp.
Once you push the section of nylon tie down strap into the hole, tie a large enough knot so that the tie down strap will not to pull back through that hole if tugged on. (tie two knots on top of each other to get the knot large enough not to pull back through the hole) That knot should be on the under side of the ramp.
Extend the end of the strap with the hook on it away from the ramps toward where the back tires will be rolling over the strap. I placed a few strips of duct tape over the straps to keep the straps in place and flat against my garage floor. When you roll up to the ramp the rear tires will be on top of the straps. Since the straps are also now attached to the front of the ramps the straps will keep the ramps from pushing forward when your front tires first make contact with the ramps.
Others solve the scooting ramp issue by drilling holes and bolting wood stops in place.I did not want to drill holes in my garage floor. The industrial anti skid tape used on stairs to keep those using the stairs from slipping did not work either for me.
The strap method works well. ---try to make a smooth even on the throttle attempt when driving up and onto ramps
As with everything your results may vary. I accept no liability for anything that somehow does not go well.
Tie down straps attached to the front of Rhino Ramps and made taught by having the rear tire sit on its other end keep the Ramps from scooting forward
