I see a pivot on the middle upright and pins on the back upright. Man power.
Rear Lower hole is for loading and unloading and upper hole is for transport.

We actually use a winch to lower and raise the top deck

To heavy to do that , thought about hydraulics
But wanted to keep it simple .

so we have a winch mounted on the floor going up to the bottom of top deck to raise and lower the angle of the deck , it also can winch up a dead sled on the lower deck if needed.

My kids want me to take them to school in it next week. And all the teachers and bus maintenance want to check it out also since it was from my local school that we bought the bus from .

I saw a bus in the Bighorns that had a rack on top also to haul sleds.
It looked kind of top heavy but it seemed to work for them.

I've seen a few older pics of busses like that too . Not
