Thx NormK & Speedy

Lots of ideas to save our backs.

I think I will adopt a hybrid solution which should fit my space & budget.

I will use an old solid door as a ramp - at about 2metres long & a 0.8m height, the angle should not be too great to get up. And should just fit my available space.
I will also use an old small hand winch I have, which I will setup on the other end of my heavy bench to drag it up & let it down without too much effort. The winch should be easily setup/takedown.

Only need to think then of a suitable anchor point on the mowers ... without bending axles.
Maybe a cheap sling around the mower ...
