<p class="MsoNormal">I think you are looking for something like this: <a href="https://www.southworthproducts.com/en/products/portable-lift-tables/dandy-levelers-self-leveling-portable-lift-tables">

<p class="MsoNormal">I have never used one before but just looking at it I would not think it would be safe for transporting fluid materials unless you could find one with a lip that would prevent materials from falling off. Depending on the grade of your
ramp, I would not think it would be too unsafe to use a regular low level cart and place all jars into crates or boxes and secure them to the cart.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you really need one of these, there are lots of different suppliers who make these in various sizes but none are cheap.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hope that helps<o:p></o:p></p>
