Nothing beats a good old fashioned ramp.

Couldn't find a 22ft long sheet of plywood Dave. lol I pushed my father up and down the ramp in the wheelchair and it's harder than I expected. I get the ADA codes now. It took a decent amount of effort to maintain a reasonable speed on the way down and to get him up it. Have you thought about a nasty wind from a storm blowing it off the ground? I know its heavy, but so are some of these storms... We're going to anchor it to all of those patio stones. Anchored to 4 currently, at each end. For some reason my father only picked up 4 tapcons to screw into the patio stones. I dunno what it weighs for sure, but the shipping weight was supposed to be 400lbs. Add 20 12" square x 2" thick concrete slabs and it's got quite a bit of weight to it.

i would still get some ground anchors like above and aircraft cable it down in a couple of spots just look at a trailer park after a big windstorm you can tell what trailers were anchored down and what ones were not

sure beats working on the ground bent over. Those motorcycle lifts are good but expensive.
