Solving The Parking Space Puzzle With Wohr

 


Research has suggested that a commuter in a metro city in India spends over 80 hours every year looking for parking space. This might not come as a surprise to all of us who live in India and face this problem on a daily basis. To state it plainly, even though the population and the number of vehicles have increased drastically in recent years, parking space has remained the same or even reduced. With limited and expensive land in urban areas, the requirement for parking spaces has become a major burden on Indian infrastructure. 

Multilevel parking systems offer a sensible solution. Urban planners and architects and developers are seriously considering automated car parking systems in India. Among the various multilevel car parking systems, puzzle parking systems are the foremost choice.

 What are puzzle parking systems? 

Puzzle parking systems are semi-automated or fully automatic car parking solutions that work on the basis of stacking and moving the cars together. It works like a sliding puzzle and features pallets that move vertically and horizontally to move vehicles in and out of the system.

These are independent parking systems which means that there is no dependency for the retrieval of any car on other cars parked in the system. These systems can be easily designed and customized according to any space requirements. These smart car parking systems are typically powered by electric motors or hydraulic pumps that move vehicles in and out of the parking space.

Puzzle parking systems from Wohr 

WPS offers its puzzle parking systems under the name ‘Combilift’ with four models in the range. WPS has also added some modernity to their Combilift series with features such as automatic/manual doors, EV charging posts, RFID touchless operation and radio remote control.

Wohr’s Combilift Series includes:

Combilift 542 

The Combilift 542 is an independent parking system with 2 levels above one another with a pit which makes it ideal for when headroom is restricted. Such systems always have one platform less at the entrance level. When a user requests a lower-level platform, the upper platforms move laterally until there is an empty space where the required platform can be raised. 

Combilift 543 

The Combilift 543 is a compact, space-saving offering for independent parking on 3 levels above one another. The entrance is always on the middle level. The user can select his parking space via an operating panel. It has low-wear hydraulic systems that work to ensure the smooth and safe movement of vehicles.

 Combilift 551

The Combilift 551 is an independent parking system with 2 levels without a pit. Platforms on the entrance level move laterally and upper-level platforms move vertically, with always one platform less at the entrance level. In order to access the upper platforms, the platforms at the entrance level first move to one side to provide an empty space into which the required platform is lowered.

Combilift 552 

The Combilift 552 comes with independent parking on 2 levels above each other and can be configured to have 2-3 rows behind each other. A salient solution is to install the Combilift 551 or Combilift 543 system behind the Combilift 552

Towering Parking Solutions from Wohr

 


With parking space becoming a major issue in urban areas, a drastic solution is required to solve the problem. Since land is scarce in our highly congested cities, a solution is needed to multiply parking spaces in a small footprint.

The answer is Wohr’s
tower parking systems. These tower parking systems are smart car parking systems that actually take your car parking upwards! Wohr’s superior multilevel car parking systems allow one to make room for more cars, more convenience and more safety in our bustling urban areas. 

WHAT IS TOWER PARKING? 

Tower parking is basically an automatic car parking system in which a large number of cars can be parked in a very small footprint of 3 parking spaces. This smart car parking system consists of a lift in the centre which moves the car up and down and transports the vehicles to their designated spots vertically. This elevator parking system is the most appropriate car parking solution for maximising parking space in narrow plots. 

TOWER PARKING SYSTEMS FROM WOHR 

Wohr offers a tower parking system called the Slimparker 557 Tower. The Slimparker 557 Tower is a slim and versatile system that can be configured for up to 23 above-ground parking spaces on a narrow and long footprint. This car lift parking system has a central lift located in the transfer area that moves the vehicle to one of 6 possible parking levels per system. Individual parking levels can store up to 4 cars. Entering and exiting the parking bay is quick, safe and convenient and the system operates with very low levels of noise and vibration. 

Its slim construction design enables its incorporation into a soundproof wall. This is essential to shield the residents of housing areas against adjacent road and rail traffic noise pollution. Narrow gaps in the areas can be utilised for additional car parking spaces. 

The facade design and roofing design can be individually customised. WPS will be happy to consult with you on this!

The Slimparker 557 Tower is ideal for permanent use in office buildings and apartments. If you have frequently changing users as in the case of hotels, offices, shopping complexes etc, adaptations will have to be made in the constructed system configuration. You can always consult with WPS for customized solutions.

WOHR’S OTHER TOWER PARKING SYSTEMS

 WPS offers two more tower car parking systems in India. They are: 

Slimparker 557 Shaft

This system is ideal for areas with more space in length than in width. This really slim system needs a mere 2.6m width for installation in narrow strips between buildings. This system is designed particularly to be installed in the area between the set-back lines and the building. Vehicles can be stacked up to 6 levels down - either in front of or behind the lift. 

Crossparker 558

The Crossparker 558 is an extension of the Slimparker 557 in terms of width. It also allows for the installation of two further grids on either side near the central lift. This system almost doubles the number of parking spaces in the available footprint.
