You know, after all the comments here, etc, I think that ramps and
winches are probaly a safer way to go.

Good idea. Poor execution.

Needs a way to lock the wheels to the frame that does not rely on the
long moment arm acting on the lift shafts.

Maybe a shock absorbing system, betwen the lock point and the ground, too.

I susppect any damage done was due to overloading or overloading and
rough terrain both. Maybe a rated load and really rough ... Maybe.
