They are very useful. Ramps were made to make things easier by spreading the effort over a longer distnace. Say that you were trying to get over a brick wall which was about you height and you were in a wheel chair. Instead of using tones of effort to get over the wall, you could build a ramp and use small effort over a longer distance. The longer the ramp, the less effort but more time. The shorter the ramp, more effort but less time. They are classified as simple machines and as inclined plains.
