By pulling up upon the top of the linkage with a pneumatic piston, the linkage swings upward and the retracted force of the piston will hold a robot and the platform 12"+ in the air.

This design and ones like it, if they can be made to work properly, are superior to ramps in almost every way, as far as I'm concerned.
exactly we designed it to go 13 inches to be sure it would clear the foot mark
