WOHR MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

 

As India's towns and cities get more crowded and congested; as the number of vehicles grows exponentially while available parking space struggles to keep pace – weare faced with an urban crisis. Road spaces get obstructed, flow of traffic gets hampered, probability of accidents increases. Simultaneously,drivers end up wasting time, energy and fuel; pollution levels rise.

Multilevel car parking provides a feasible and effective solution.

WHAT IS MULTILEVEL PARKING?

Simply put, a multilevel car parking system is a manual or automated facility that utilises vertical rather than horizontal space for parking vehicles.It houses multiple vehicles on every level thereby enabling optimal utilisation of precious space.

Multilevel car parking offers more advantages. It comes with low maintenance, operational and construction costs. If automated, it offers more safetyfor both the vehicle and the driver than conventional parking lots. Multilevel parking systems also free up valuable urban space for landscaping, amenities or other lucrative use.

While we may think the shortage of parking space is a comparatively modern issue, it's interesting to note that the first recorded multilevel car parking system was built way back in 1918 in Chicago, USA.

WOHR’S RANGE OF AUTOMATED MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

Wohr offers a wide range of options in multilevel car parking. Barring a few exceptions such as the turntable and platform parking systems, all of Wohr’s products are multilevel parking systems. Broadly, they can be divided into 3 categories:

1.    Stack Parking: A stack parking system is a type of automated parking system that “stacks” more than a single vehicle in a singular parking space. The cars are placed on levels above and below each other, which gives the developer the benefit of providing parking spaces for multiple vehicles, while increasing space efficiency of the area.  Stack parking systems are supposed to double, or multiply the parking space available, and also uses the basement area if required. It is one of the most prominent parking systems available today.

 

These stack parking systems are segregated further into 2 types – Dependent and Independent.
Dependent parking systems are those where the lower platform has to be evacuated first, in order to let the upper platform come down.
Independent parking systems are those that do not depend on either platform in order to access the vehicles and remove them.

2.    Tower Parking: A tower parking system is one type of an automated parking system (APS) that is mechanically designed to vertically allocate parking spaces, especially in very small and narrow plots. This system is also known as an elevator parking system as it uses a lift mechanism to reach the various “levels” it provides, ranging from 5 to almost 35.

A tower parking system uses the most compact plot area, and maximizes the parking spaces within the same. For example, it provides enough space to vertically park 60-70 vehicles, in the space of just 3 vehicles. Developers have now moved towards installing these tower parking systems in their buildings as they help with feasibility, security, safety and provide more parking spaces in a more systematic manner.

3.    Puzzle Parking: A puzzle parking system provides multiple parking spaces in the form of levels – Upper & Lower. These levels, or parking spots, have the capability to move horizontally or vertically, just like a “Puzzle”, to automatically park a vehicle in a vacant spot. These systems are independent in nature, which means that any car can be parked or retrieved without vacating another parking spot.

These parking systems make use of hydraulic systems to move the “pallets” vertically and horizontally, depending on the availability of a vacant spot. It is a fully automatic system where the driver just has to park the vehicle in the lower platform and vacate the car. The system then moves the pallet on which the car is placed to a vacant spot wherever it is possible. In order to do this, there is always one vacant spot, which enables all the other platforms to move freely and retrieve the car that is needed. This system is easy to maintain and has lower operating costs as compared to a conventional parking space.

 

ADVANTAGES OF WOHR’S MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

-          Optimal utilisation of space

-          Higher cost efficiency: lower maintenance and operational cost

-          Lower construction cost; easier and faster to build (owing to the prefabrication)

Puzzle Parking Systems from Wohr

 

Wohr’s diverse range of puzzle parking systems is a success story going back decades. Wohr’s first puzzle car parking system - the Combilift - was installed in 1988, and the technology has been continually optimized and developed over the years. 

Operating Concepts of the Combilift Series 

The Combilift system from Wohr is a semi-automatic, space-saving puzzle car parking system that allows for convenient parking in the tightest of spaces by stacking vehicles and moving them closer together. 

The entire Combilift range supports vehicles of up to 2.6 tonnes. The Combilift system can accommodate vehicle heights of up to 2.05m depending on the system configuration. It also has options for parking widths of between 2.30m to 2.70m. 

Wohr has designed several operating concepts that offer user-friendly operations. The safety aspect is a notable priority. The operations for the standard Combilift system are done by using RFID chips as operating devices. 

The Combilift Series from Wohr 

The Combilift systems are puzzle car parking systems that are designed for consummate usability. This series has high levels of functionality and now offers configurations that make parking even more convenient. 

Combilift 551: The Combilift 551 is designed with two parking levels without a pit and permits independent parking. All parking spaces can be accessed directly from the entrance level by lifting and sliding the parking platforms. There always remains one empty parking space at the entrance level. 

This system incorporates an astute design in which the entrance level platforms move laterally and upper-level platforms move vertically. When bringing down the upper platforms for parking in or out, the entrance level platforms are first moved to one side to provide an empty space into which the pertinent upper platform is lowered. 

Combilift 552: The Combilift 552 series can be added as an extra row of parking spaces in front of the Combilift 551, 542, or 543 if additional depth is available. Up to 3 Combilift systems can be installed one behind another. 

A central operating device is used to request for parking spaces. The spaces that are in the way can automatically slide to the side, allowing users to drive into the selected parking space. 

Combilift 542: A pit puzzle parking system that allows for independent parking on 2 levels above one another, the Combilift 542 is ideal for when headroom is restricted. This system requires a clearance height of just 2.20m for sedans and 2.30m for SUVs which permits it to be built into typically sized underground car parks.

The Combilift 542 always has one less platform at the entrance level. When a lower platform is requested, the upper platforms will move laterally until there is an empty space into which the requested platform is raised. 

Combilift 543: This parking system from Wohr is compact and space-saving and has three vertically stacked levels. The entry is always at the middle level. The parking position is selected via an operating panel. 

Vehicles enter and exit at the middle level and up to ten grids can be installed beside one another and can be operated using a single operating device. As with the whole Combilift series, parking spaces can be selected using an RFID chip, handheld transmitter or Wohr’s Smart Parking App.

PARKSAFE 580 AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEM BY WOHR PARKING SYSTEMS

 

The increasing adoption of automated car parking systems is a trend that’s here to stay. Across the world, real estate developers and municipal agencies have come to realise that the scarcity of parking space is a substantial problem that requires urgent attention and consideration. The continued adoption of smart car parking systems can help alleviate some of these problems. 

The automatic car parking system is one of the most pioneering innovations of our times. Some salient features of this parking system are:

 ●     It is a multi-level car parking system in which cars are parked vertically, thereby using less space on the ground.

●     The automated multilevel car parking system typically has horizontal pallets or carts on each level and a vertical lift that carries the cars from the drive level to and from the different floors for parking and retrieving.

●     The driver is eliminated from the parking process. The car is driven to an entry point where the driver and passengers exit the car. The vehicle is then automatically transported to its allotted space. 

The Parksafe 580 is an automated parking system with one central vertical lift and storage shelves positioned either rightwards or leftwards of the vertical lift. It is available in tower, pit or tower/pit configurations with the transfer area at either the base level, top-level or at one of the intermediate levels. It is possible to arrange between 1-3 parking rows rightwards or leftwards of the vertical lift. 

The safety provided by the Parksafe 580 is another major facet of the system. There are no ramps, sharp edges or gaps in the transfer area, which ensures the safety of the users while using the system. The Parksafe 580 automated car parking system comes with a free fall arrestor that acts as a safeguard against the pallet free falling in case some part of the system fails. The Parksafe 580 also features mechanical interlocks during every exchange which ensures that the lift is never suspended during critical exchange operations. This system also comes with software and hardware switches to protect the lift from overtravel. The system comes installed with a dedicated safety PLC and stop monitoring circuit. The Parksafe 580 comes with access monitoring and control to manage the service and fire doors’ operations. Fire and earthquake detectors can also be installed onto this system for protection from calamities. This system includes vehicle detection and dynamic monitoring wherein the system can detect tall cars, open doors or an open trunk if they extend beyond the permissible limits. The E-stop and Open-Door buttons are strategically placed for enhanced safety in case of an emergency. The system can also detect fractures in its driving chain and warn the operator before an accident occurs. The Touchless RFID Chips used to operate the system are coded and tamper-proof to prevent theft, vandalism etc. 

Wohr has worked towards making the operation of the Parksafe 580 as convenient as possible. It features an Active Driver Assistance System - with a display and traffic lights - to assist the driver with the parking process. It is also possible to integrate a turntable into this system so that the car always reaches the driver the right way forward. The system also comes with a remote control that allows the driver to initiate parking commands safely and conveniently from the car. The waiting lounge where the driver waits for his car to arrive features a display letting him know the status of the system. The Transfer Area in the Parksafe 580 has an appealing design that helps polish the aesthetics of the rest of the setup. It is also possible to conveniently integrate EV charging points into this system. 

Wohr’s focus on the reliability of its systems is also quite commendable. The Parksafe 580 comes with an Auxiliary Drive that allows the user to operate the system manually in case the main motor is not functional. The structure of this parking system is tested and validated taking into account wind, earthquakes, and local standards. This system can be installed quite quickly since Wohr ensures strict quality control at the factory and no welding, drilling or cutting is done on-site. The Parksafe 580 comes with a remote monitoring system that provides email notifications for any errors that may occur. This system has the most advanced motor and drive technology available, along with smart sensors that ensure the smooth operation of the setup. 

The Parksafe 580 features special sound barriers to avoid the transmission of noise and vibrations to the building. It comes with an insulated highspeed roller shutter - with safety sensors and see-through panels for monitoring. This system also ensures fast access times with a max lift speed of 0.9 m/sec. This system features an energy-efficient design with Automatic Transfer Area lighting control and a coloured touchscreen user interface with safety verification. 

There are a number of ways in which the system can prove to be beneficial for architects and developers. For example, the system comes in flexible configurations that allow it to be installed in a variety of layouts and floor plans. This system can be either freestanding or installed inside the building. It can be configured to be overground, underground or even a hybrid setup. The Parksafe 580 doesn’t require a machine room, which ends up saving even more space for architects and developers.

Combilift 551 offers independent parking in 2 levels above each other without pit. By lifting and sliding the platforms, you get direct access to all parking places at the entrance level. ‘Independent’ means it is possible to load and unload a vehicle individually without the need for taking out the other cars underneath.

A driving lane in front of the full width of the automated parking system is required to access all parking spaces. Entrance-level platforms move laterally and upper-level platforms move vertically, with always one platform less at the entrance level. To collect a car parked on the upper level, the platforms at the entrance level will first move to one side to provide an empty space into which the required platform is lowered.

This puzzle lift parking system offers three special advantages. Firstly, no excavation is required so the system can even be fitted in the upper levels of a garage. Secondly, operation costs of this system are low. Thirdly, it takes hardly a minute to park and retrieve vehicles from this automated car parking system.
