Many years ago I built one myself after going armed with a tape measure to copy one in the shops..

All I can say is I don't think there is any weight taken on the examples in the photos, mine deformed the tyre quite a bit before it lifted.. I think there's probably an axle stand hiding underneath the caravans somewhere...

I had to use 2 yellow wedges, pieces of wood and a trolley jack to get level in Purbeck, will get more wedges if we go again

So, to come back to my original question, would a cordless impact wrench be powerful enough to lift up to 1000kgs?

You don't know until you try but my guess would be that the impact wrench would do the job just fine but the lifting gubbins would break under the stress of the impacts. 

Just my guess and, as the saying goes, that plus a pound buys you a lottery ticket  ;)
