They parked the car next to the trailer, and dug the ground out from under the car between the wheels on one side. I laughed my butt off when I got there, but it did work, and looked fairly safe.
I inspected a couple of european motorcoaches in a similar fashion. I think they were all Lags, not that that matters. The carrier didn't have a lift or pit, but he did have a shallow ditch that went underground at the edge of the property (ditch into a culvert pipe). They drove the coaches over the top of the dry ditch, and I crawled underneath to do the inspections.

Weird, but quite safe.
