Ramp-Up Industrial Design Explained

A ramp-up building lets lorries and vans drive directly up to higher storeys instead of queueing for cargo lifts. At Generations @ Tannery, vehicular ramp access reaches up to the 5th storey.

What "ramp-up" actually means

In a ramp-up industrial building, an internal vehicular ramp allows standard cargo vehicles to reach upper floors under their own power. This removes the bottleneck of relying solely on cargo lifts for loading and unloading — a meaningful difference for any operation with frequent goods movement.

Who benefits most

Ramp-up layouts are particularly prized by e-commerce fulfilment operators, logistics firms, light manufacturers and distributors, where turnaround time at the loading point is a daily cost. Direct drive-up access shortens that cycle and reduces congestion at ground level.

Ramp-up plus high-capacity lifts

Above the ramp-served floors, six high-capacity KONE passenger lifts move people efficiently through the upper storeys — among the stronger lift specifications in the city-fringe market. Explore the layouts on the floor plan page and the building circulation on the site plan.
