An old flatbed semi-trailer in the 40 foot range would allow you to have a more gradual slope on the ramp. Downfall to a longer ramp is you will have to drive careful for more feet before you're off the ramp. Truck dollies work well for adjusting ramp height and they're strong but they give a limited amount of height adjustment. If you're just wanting to vary the height a few inches dollies are the way to go. A couple of hydraulic cylinders would work too but you'll have to have a way to lock both of them before you use the ramp.
The permanent ramp at the Albert City Threshing Show has bridge beams underneath with special made high lift truck dollies for adjustment. (thanks, John) It's a real Cadillac of a ramp. The dollies are cranked with a gear reduction electric motor with top and bottom limit switches. Cranking by hand would test your stamina for the amount of range they have. Jim
