You installed a drain and conduit for the single hydraulic and the single control cable.
You plan to cover it with a piece of plywood.

Paul, here is a link to another site better describing the steps taken:
Group Purchase on Atlas Scissor Lift - Rennlist Discussion Forums
To address your questions in specific:
- Cut Slab down to gravel
- Dug out gravel / mud to a depth if 14" or more
- Dug 5 piers 12" wide by 36" depth
-
No metal plate used on top of gravel
- 1 1/2" PVC drain pipe used front (for hydraulic lines to go through) and rear (drain line)
- 1 1/2" Stainless Steel angle used on top of concrete edge to prevent cracking / chipping
- Composite (Trex) decking material anchored into upright sides of hole, top edge set 3/4" from top to accept 3/4" Plywood to cover hole / lift when not in use
