If you're talking about ramps like the one at the Gwailor fort (or the inner gate at Bhangarh fort), then that's not so much for preventing elephants but battering rams.
Elephants are pretty agile. Protected battering rams, not so much.

According to the guides it was also to stop elephants, because it’s hard for them to charge in a confined space. Made sense to me at the time.
