no, we have two pneumatic cylinders that raise the front and the back.

we drive up the bump, turn sideways and get the the edge, deploy the front lifter, drive forward until the center wheels are on the edge, retract the front cylinder, fire the back and drive forward until the back wheels are on the platform then retract the back.
