Ramp-up, not cargo-lift
In a conventional multi-storey industrial building, goods travel between floors in a cargo lift. That works, but it creates a bottleneck: a single lift shared by every tenant, queues at peak loading times, and a hard ceiling on the size of vehicle you can move upstairs. A ramp-up building removes that bottleneck entirely. An internal vehicular ramp connects every storey, so a lorry drives straight to your unit door regardless of which floor you are on. CT FoodNEX is a fully ramp-up development — vehicular access reaches all ten storeys.
Why food manufacturers care
Food production runs on tight cold-chain windows and frequent deliveries: raw ingredients in, finished goods out, often several times a day. Every minute a chilled load spends waiting for a lift is a minute of risk. Direct drive-up access means a refrigerated vehicle reverses to your roller shutter, loads or unloads, and leaves — no transfer, no queue. For a food business weighing where to base production, that operational difference compounds across thousands of trips a year.
How CT FoodNEX is laid out
The building stacks four module types up the ramp — Platinum Deluxe on the ground storey, Premier Deluxe across levels two to four, Classic Module on levels five to nine, and a tenth-storey Sky Suite. Container access is graded by floor: 40-foot containers at ground level, 20-foot on levels two to four, and 7.5-metre rigid-frame vehicles higher up. You can see how each storey is configured on the site and floor plan page, and the published loadings and access dimensions sit on the specifications page.
Is it right for you?
Ramp-up format suits businesses that move physical goods often and value logistics certainty over the lowest possible price per square foot. If that describes your operation, it is worth seeing the ramp in person — you can visit the sales gallery to walk a unit, or review what is currently available on the units and pricing page.
