You do the same work in both scenarios but the power exerted is different. Since on a ramp the work is done over a longer distance the force you have to exert is decreased. Therefore, it "seems" to be easier to push a box up a ramp rather than lift it up.
The load in a full truck is mainly higher than the centre of gravity (COG) of the empty truck. As a result the COG of a full truck is higher. It is this than makes it easier to tip.

A pallet truck is a manually-operated device for lifting and moving pallets.

The force required to pull a truck up an inclined plane depends on the weight of the truck and the steepness of the incline. The force needed would be higher on steeper inclines and with heavier trucks. This force can be calculated using the equation: Force = Weight * sin(angle) + frictional force.
You help a buddy move, and he rents a moving truck. To load or unload the truck, you take the ramp out, attach it to the rear of the truck and let it slope to the ground. The ramp is an inclined plane.

A crane truck is a vehicle equipped with a crane for lifting heavy loads, typically featuring a rotating boom that can extend and move in various directions. In contrast, a boom truck combines a truck with a telescopic boom, primarily used for lifting and transporting materials but generally without the extensive lifting capabilities of a traditional crane. While both are used in construction and heavy lifting, crane trucks are designed for more substantial lifting tasks, whereas boom trucks are often used for lighter loads and tasks like maintenance and tree removal.
Driving a car uphill on a winding road is an example of using an inclined plane to overcome the force of gravity. Sliding an object up a ramp to lift it to a higher elevation utilizes the mechanical advantage of an inclined plane. Loading heavy boxes onto a truck using a ramp is another practical example of applying the principle of inclined planes to make work easier.
