Note that the center wheel does not need tot be powered for this to work.
It will definitely not help with your weight issue. 5 pounds is far too much to be had by putting holes in aluminum.
What is the material used for the ramp surface? It looks like aluminum with holes - if so consider a much lighter material, like 1/8" aviation plywood (sold at hobby shops). Far lighter, brutally strong. Or somehting like that.
1/2 pound per ramp can be lost by holing the ramp frame
We lost 1/4 pound in wire this year by just cutting things to length.
good luck with that
