Automated Multilevel Car Parking System Offered By Wohr - Combiparker 555

Automated multilevel car parking systems are growing in popularity across the world - for their ability to maximise the number of parking spaces with minimum land usage, and the sheer convenience and safety they offer end-users.

Like a multi-story parking garage, an automated multilevel car parking system provides parking for cars on multiple levels stacked vertically. However, the cars are parked and retrieved automatically using a system of pallets, lifts and signalling devices that transport the cars to and from parking spaces.

Utilising such a mechanical system eliminates much of the space wasted in a multi-storey parking garage. With the elimination of ramps, driving lanes, pedestrian pathways and the reduction in ceiling heights, the automated multilevel car parking system requires substantially less structural material than the multi-story parking garage. Many systems utilize a steel framework (some use thin concrete slabs) rather than the monolithic concrete design of the multi-story parking garage. These factors contribute to an overall volume reduction and further space savings for the automated parking system (APS).

Wohr’s Combiparker 555 is state-of-the-art in technology and operates on the tried and tested principle of stacking and moving cars closer together, to create even more space. It can provide up to 8 levels on top of each other and up to 7 grids next to each other.

Vehicles are parked in parking levels or pallets with specially designed adjustable sliding carrier units. In every second grid, transport lifts ensure the lifting and lowering of vehicles.

Highlights 
  • Compact parking on up to 8 levels above ground 
  • Variable arrangement of 3-7 grids beside one another 
  • Different car heights are possible at different levels

Redeveloping Property? Build Automated Car Parking Systems Into Your Plan

Redevelopment of old, dilapidated buildings is a growing trend. Old buildings have recurring problems of maintenance and management which become tedious and expensive; residents aspire for better, more modern amenities. Moreover, with real estate values touching new heights, residents are discovering that they can unlock immense value from their property by offering it for redevelopment.

In Maharashtra, the state government, in a bid to boost redevelopment of cooperative housing societies in the state, has brought down the consent required for redevelopment from 70% to 51%. Also, all redevelopment projects registered under MahaRERA will have to be completed in a time-bound manner. Such norms will make it easier for housing societies to go in for redevelopment. As per MahaRERA in a Times of India report on 10th July 2019, nearly 40% of one lakh registered cooperative housing societies in Maharashtra are contemplating redevelopment.

Car parking is a factor that calls for proper planning when undertaking a redevelopment project. As per current urban trends, families today own more than one car, so the Municipal rule that generally specify one parking space per apartment does not suffice. Gone are the days when one could park one’s additional vehicles on the road. With the number of cars booming and scarcity of parking space, roads are either overcrowded, unsafe, or in some cases, declared ‘no parking’ zones by local municipalities.

Moreover, municipalities require housing societies to reserve 10 to 25% of parking space for visitors. So provision of adequate parking space becomes a huge challenge for developers. Scarcity and high value of space add to the problem.

Build APS into the blueprint

In such a scenario, automated parking systems (APS) become a powerful redevelopment planning tool. Space saving and flexibility are the two main advantages that make these car parking systems invaluable for project planners and architects.

Compared to conventional garages, stilt parking and multi-storey car parks, APS can offer a greater number of car parking spaces utilising less amount of space and building volume. Studies have shown that APS uses up to 70% less land and up to 50% less building volume.

Flexibility is another key characteristic of APS - and a major reason for architects to consider APS at the earliest stage of the design process. APS can be tall and thin to fit in narrow alleys or as an attachment to a building wall. Their shape can be irregular and designed to fit inside existing structures or confined areas. Slender cylindrical shapes make it easy and fast to install APS underground.

Naturally, when planning a redevelopment, residents/owners are sure to want ample, safe parking for their multiple vehicles. Wohr offers safe, logical solutions in automated multi-level car parking systems. Wohr is the leading automated parking system manufacturer in India and Europe, offering the most extensive range of parking systems worldwide.
