A ramp support 10 having a support arm 14 and a ground engaging portion 16 at an end thereof. The support arm 14 has a first fixing 18 for coupling the support arm 14 to a ramp or a ramp gate 12 and a second fixing 20 for coupling the support arm 14 to an axillary ramp support 110. The support arm 14 further has a frangible or deformable region 22 between the ground engaging portion 16 and the second fixing 20. The support arm 14 is deformable about the deformable region 22 which bends, shears or breaks in response to a load applied to the ground engaging portion 16. In a further embodiment, an auxiliary ramp support 110 is provided having a bracket 132 and a ground engaging portion 116 at the end of the bracket 132. The bracket 132 has a fixing 118 for coupling the bracket to a ramp or a ramp gate 12 and a deformable region 122 between the ground engaging portion 116 and the fixing 118. The auxiliary ramp support 110 may be used to replace portions of the ramp support 10 cut away following deforming of the deformable region.
