I don't think I'd want to drive a GMC up on one of those. When it pivots to the horizontal position, it would be quite a jolt. Probably not that bad in a conventional vehicle with a long hood and engine up front, but could be a wild ride in a GMC.

"There is a sealed hydraulic cylinder at the front that slows the tipping motion. "
and " 1/2" steel all around" ? that is heavier than most lift racks.
Seems like a great idea but the tail dragging would for sure be an issue.

tail dragging and traction to climb. somedays climbing up car ramps can be tricky.
but I would think someone could make one custom for our application.

If you had enough linear space, you could just build a looooooong ramp out
of lumber with a gentle slope to get 3 feet of lift. :) If you've got
stupid amounts of space, you can build a ramp going down the other side, so
it's drive on, drive off. :)
Or dig a hole for a pit.

>watch jiss"!
No scarier than watching a $60k Healey roll on a rotisserie. I'd buy that rig in a heartbeat if it were within driving range. I'd add a winch like the boat tilt-lifts use, though, mostly so I wouldn't have to be in the cab, heh!
Pits are out for me as any 3yr-old with a plastic spade can hit groundwater in 3 minutes around here.
The wooden riser would be the cheapest and I could set them in place with the frontend loader. I have the room.
What I'd really like is your 4-post truck lift, Jim. I have a search scouring CL but they don't come up much. Plenty of 2-post models (now THOSE are scary) but no heavy 4-post models. Well, there's one 50k# unit, but it's a little big/pricey.

This is starting to sound like one of those "Hey, Youall, watch jiss"! Lets see, we have a GMC teeter-totter. Yea, that should be OK! Guys, dream on this one a little more...

I would think the shock would work just fine to slow the tilt.
Worst case, install a winch to help pull the coach up the ramp.
Tail drag could be eliminated and ramp angle lessened by making movable wooden leveling ramps and placing them in front of the tilt ramp.

And we did serve up a frothy beverage that evening! BTW, just posted on my site a solution one guy down here in Florida came up with. Can't have a pit in Central Florida-- or can you!
