That rule defines the conditions for receiving the Lifting Bonus. It does not specify method, and neither do any other rules I saw. It doesn't even say that the partner's Robot must actually "lift" the lifted Robot; it says only that it must fully (and exclusively) support it.

If you still don't believe that a passive ramp applies, you're apparently assuming something that isn't in the rules. That box you think you see is only an illusion.
