How about using an electric or hand-crank winch arrangement to raise the
front or lower the back, or put additional weight at the back so it's
more balanced. Perhaps some kind of movable weight, say even like what
you're driving on that will then pivot down when weight is put on them,
then raise the ramps back up as you drive forward onto the trailer? Is
this feasible?
