Having to unhook to raise the trailer when you put the bike in or take it out is a pain. My friend had the same problem with the new toy hauler he bought. We added a ramp extention by adding 4 feet of 3/4 plywood the width of the ramp. We used 5 four inch hinges to mount the extention. You could also use a large piano hinge if you could find one big enough. He now blocks the ramp up about 10 inches and drops the ramp extention and rides right up. Down side is that it makes the ramp heavier to lift...
