The ramps do not use motors. They use two pneumatic pistons one to deploy the ramps and another to deploy the platforms. The ramps and platforms are tethered to their respective pistons when the first piston releases the tether for the ramp is released and the ramp swings out because it is attached to spring loaded hinges. The same process then repeats for the platforms.
