Like any simple machine, it spreads the work over a greater distance. For example, if you want to raise a load five feet, by using a 30° inclined plane, you spread the same work over ten feet, so only half as much force is needed.

It reduces the rate of work needed to lift a load or an object.

The total energy should be the same, inclined plane or direct lift of that object.
