## Abstract

A ramp having a main section and a landing section. The landing section has a riser section with a first end and a second end. A first connector connects the first end of the riser section to a distal end of the main section. A landing platform, having a first end and a second end and gripping structures depending from a lower surface, is connected by the first end to the second end of the riser section with a second connector, where the second connector selectably retains the landing platform and the riser section in a desired angular position. In some embodiments the main section includes an upper section having a connecting end and a distal end, and a lower section having a connecting end and a distal end. A connector connects the connecting end of the upper section to the connecting end of the lower section. The connector selectably retains the upper and lower sections in at least one of a rigid substantially-arched surface and a rigid substantially-planar surface.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A ramp comprising:
a main section, and
a landing section, comprising,
a riser section having a first end and a second end,
a first connector connecting the first end of the riser section to a distal end of the main section,
a landing platform having a first end, a second end, and gripping structures depending from a lower surface, and
a second connector connecting the second end of the riser section to the first end of the landing platform, the second connector selectably retaining the landing platform and the riser section in a desired angular position.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The ramp of claim 1, wherein the main section comprises:
an upper section having a connecting end and a distal end,
a lower section having a connecting end and a distal end, and
a connector connecting the connecting end of the upper section to the connecting end of the lower section, the connector selectably retaining the upper and lower sections in a rigid substantially-planar surface.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The ramp of claim 1, wherein the main section comprises:
an upper section having a connecting end and a distal end,
a lower section having a connecting end and a distal end, and
a connector connecting the connecting end of the upper section to the connecting end of the lower section, the connector selectably retaining the upper and lower sections in a rigid substantially-arched surface.
