When we attempted to lift the platform in an effort to remove any possible deflection, the height remained the same. Furthermore, 494 was not even able to climb up the platform at all! Their casters behind their rear set of wheels made it impossible to climb over the platforms 1" lip.

Im positive he told me that. I'm also aware that the lift was not all the way. They waited 5 mins to be sure there was enough pressure. but they only did it once. apparently the 5 min of waiting was enough justification that the ramp didn't work. 494 did make it on 997's ramp. 997 just had to be in the lifting zone backwards for it to work.
