Inter-Floor Transportation by the d'Humy Motoramp System
Title
Inter-Floor Transportation by the d'Humy Motoramp System
Description
In this article, Blanchard explains how the staggered floors in the design of the d'Humy motoramp system reduce the length of the ramps. He suggests that the shorter ramps are safer than longer ramps and allow more space for parking cars. However, he also points out that factories and storage facilities would benefit from the shorter ramps that consume less floor space.
The article also includes a side elevation of a building with the d'Humy system, with a cutout to show the ramps.
