WOHR STACKED CAR PARKING SYSTEMS: THE COST-EFFECTIVE, SPACE-EFFECTIVE SOLUTION

 

We've all experienced the average parking lot and while these designs work fine in many situations, they are insufficient in others. Municipal or government regulations today call for land developers to provide a minimum of parking spaces as per the number of residential or commercial units in the project and developers struggle to fit the spaces in their blueprint. In some cases, businesses or facilities may grow and expand until their existing parking areas become insufficient for the increased number of employees and visitors.

In such situations, car parking systems come to the rescue. Whether it is a new development or an old building, multi-storey car parking offers a sound solution. Car parking solutions come in different types such as stacked parking systems, puzzle parking systems, pit parking systems, tower parking systems and more.

What are stacked car parking systems?

Stacked parking systems, as the name suggests, stack one or more cars on each other. The system enables people to make use of vertical space rather than horizontal space. Stack parking systems use moving platforms that can be raised and lowered on mechanical frames using hydraulic systems. The vehicle is parked on the platform and sits safely on it as operators lift it to make room for another car below.

How do stacked parking systems work?

Stacker type parking systems are generally semi-automatic systems that feature a pallet on which the vehicle is parked and then lifted to make additional parking space below the loaded pallet.

The lift uses an electric motor, a hydraulic cylinder and a series of cables and pulleys to raise and lower the cars.

Wohr's range of Stack Parking Systems

Wohr's stack parking systems are designed to double/triple the parking space above ground or in basement car parks. The systems can be easily customised to be a truly space-effective installation. They fit all passenger cars up to 2.5 tons, and offer global quality, lowest cost of operation, easy maintenance and reliable service for years.

The range is available in both dependent and independent versions:

DEPENDENT:

1.       Parklift 411 – Two Level Dependent Parking Systems
The two level dependent system has a single unit that is for two cars, and a double unit that is for four cars. In the Parklift 411, the lower platform can accommodate cars that have a maximum height of 150-200cms. The platforms can stretch till a width of 2700mm, and have an impressive load carrying capacity ranging between 2000-2600 kgs. As this is a dependable parking system, it can be installed in outdoor spaces as well where the lower platform is mostly used for visitors, and the upper platform for more permanent users. This makes it an ideal system for valet parking, car service centers, car rental services, etc. The Parklift 411 system requires very low maintenance and cost of construction.

2.       Parklift 421 – Three Level Dependent Parking Systems
Just like the two level dependent system offers spaces for 2 vehicles, the Parklift 421 offers parking spaces for 3 vehicles – one at the bottom, and two above it in a horizontal fashion.  This is a more compact space solution as it comes in various options – side by side parking, one above the other, or even outdoor installation.  The three level dependent systems have a single unit that is for three cars. The Parklift 421 offers three parking spaces with a single drive way, which opens up more parking spaces conveniently. It includes proven hydraulic technology that provides a hassle-free parking experience.

 

INDEPENDENT:

1.       Parklift 440 – Two Level Independent Parking Systems
The Parklift 440 is an independent parking system with two levels, which means that either platform can be moved without moving the other platform. This type of parking system is more suitable for indoor spaces, also with an availability of pit parking, where there’s a level beneath the drive way. A single unit has a capacity of two vehicles and the double unit has a capacity of four vehicles. The Parklift 440 accommodates cars with heights between 150-205 cms, where the car’s length should fall between 500-620 cms. It has a weight carrying capacity of 2000-3200 kgs, and can be installed at residential buildings, condominiums, hotels, malls and office buildings.

2.       Parklift413 – Three Level Independent Parking Systems
The Parklift 413 offers parking spaces for three vehicles. Being an independent system, none of the vehicles need to be moved out in order to access the other two platforms. This system is also more suitable indoors, with the availability of pit parking. The single unit for this independent parking system has space for 3 vehicles, and the double unit has space for 6.  The car heights are restricted to 150-170 cms with a platform that has a weight carrying capacity of 2000 kgs, and stretched up to 270 cms (Single Unit) and 500 cms (Double Unit).
