exhibit ramp
[what is exhibit ramp? I know a ramp is "a sloping surface connecting two levels". What does it mean in this context?]

Selected answer:ramp with exhibit wallspace
Explanation:
I would say that in the context of, say, a museum, this is a floor ramp that is not just an empty connector but an active part of the exhibition wallspace. (Floorspace less likely because of the slope.)

Explanation:
As Michael and Charlie said, without context it is hard to say for sure. It does sound like something used in the motor industry to me, however. Car dealers normally have a car or two on display on a ramp, especially 4x4 vehicles.
