Features and Variations
Parking systems are offered in a variety of configurations to suit different space
requirements and building types.
- Levels:
Systems can be configured with multiple levels, ranging from two to ten
parallel
grids, and can be installed above ground, in a pit, or a combination of both.
- Customization: Variations are available
to accommodate different types of vehicles,
such as
sedans and SUVs.
- Operation:
Manufacturers offer both electromechanical and hydraulic operating
systems.
-
Installation: While often installed indoors in basements or podiums, systems can be
placed
outdoors with proper structural engineering with cladding and roofing for protection.
- Automatic
retrieval: The system is fully automatic and controlled by a user‐friendly
interface, such as a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) with HMI.
- Minimal
footprint: Parking allows for a higher density of parked cars in a smaller
area
compared to traditional parking.
- Independent
parking: Most systems are independent, meaning any car can be retrieved
without re‐moving others.
