I think using 2 hydraulic car jacks is cheating. Zero may well happen to have two, but I don't think the average domestic garage has.
Attach the ends of two scaffolding planks to the cover, then lift each and pile bricks under their centres so that the planks point up in the air at the other end. Splay them out so that the ends are your car track apart, Rest two more planks against the raised ends, and then drive your car up the ramps until the boards pivot and lift the cover. Push two more planks under the raised cover, lower, and slide it clear.
Snag - you may be no more likely to have 6 scaffold planks than 2 trolley jacks.
