1. A ramp component, comprising:
one or more ramp planks, each of the one or more ramp planks comprising an upper end and a lower end, and each of the one or more ramp planks comprises an upper surface and a lower surface that extend between the upper end and the lower end, wherein:
the upper end of each of the one or more ramp planks is configured to couple with an opening to a structure;
the lower end of each of the one or more ramp planks is configured to rest upon a ground structure; and
a length of each of the one or more ramp planks matches a length of a resultant ramp formed by the one or more ramp planks; and
a protrusion that extends from the upper end at a downward angle relative to the upper surface of the one or more ramp planks, wherein:
a distal end of the protrusion comprises a bulbous end or a linear member that comprises two parallel sides that are coupled by an end surface, the linear member having a length that is greater than a thickness of the linear member; and
the protrusion is configured to be pivotable relative to an engagement member of a structure to enable an angle of the one or more ramp planks to be varied when the protrusion is coupled with the engagement member of the structure.
