Ouch. That is an accident waiting to happen. Lifts are really not that expensive! Just buy one!

I absolutely agree, with the proper inner supports, this would easily hold up a car. I have not had to analyze wooden structures since my college days (35 years ago), but box girders are extremely sturdy. ….most bridges are box design, do you stay off of them?

only sold over seas, http://www.jtproducts.ukonline.co.uk/index.html
On a serious note, that first (home-brewed) support has a 'problematic' height-to-(footprint) width ratio.
And strength? -- who knows? Durability? -- the same.
Binny better have his will written.
Now, let's get back to our lovely padded creeper...

Its the ramp leading up to the box section that would worry me.
