Default low fuselage trailer ramps

When my Crown trailer ramp is fully lowered my ASW-20 fuselage does not
clear the dolly cradle. Furthermore the scissors jacks require
excessive torque from the fully lowered position. Currently I roll the
main wheel up a small wooden ramp to raise everything a few inches. I'm
interested in other solutions. In particular does anyone have
experience with the screw jack ramp arrangement described on the Cobra
web site? Since a Cobra or Komet ramp won't directly apply to my
trailer I'm considering building my own such ramp. Does anyone have a
source for this type of screw jack in the USA? I have seen similar
jacks used in some older European cars. My web searches on "screw jack"
only return very large capacity equipment.

The illustration opposite shows different versions of lift ramps for
the fuselage: ...a version with screw jacks, especially useful for
gliders with low fuselage...
