THE FUTURE OF RESIDENTIAL STACK CAR PARKING SYSTEMS…

 

Stack car parking systems have unifying features that define them all. Their main purpose is to park cars above ground. This utilizes vertical space that normally goes unused. Stack parking systems accomplish this with moving mechanical platforms that are raised or lowered. Vehicles are parked on pallets stably when operators make room for more cars below.

And Wohr is the industry buzz word in high quality automated stack parking systems for residential areas. With innovation and ingenuity Wohr has revolutionised residential automated stack parking to newer heights.

History of Stack Parking Systems

Stack car parking systems were developed in the early 20th century. In the 1920s, forerunners of automated parking systems appeared in US cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City and Cincinnati. 

Stack Vs Conventional Parking

In a stack car park space does not have to be as wide as in a conventional parking lot. There’s no need for ramps, and pedestrian paths. Stack car parks are technology-driven and offer decreased maintenance &operating costs unlike conventional parking lots that need huge construction investments. Conventional lots are also prone to auto-theft and accidents.

Residential Stack Parking Benefits

Benefits of stack parking for residential areas are higher space utilization, reduced congestion, and improved safety. A multi-level car stack parking system results in optimum space utilization. By parking in specified areas, cars no longer block arterial roads, and reduce traffic congestion. Security and safety of car and owner are an added advantage.

Space-Saving Design

The very intent of stack parking systems is to provide optimum use of space. At residential complexes, parking space comes at premium especially if the apartment owner has more than one car. Stacking vehicles vertically rather than horizontally, that too safely and efficiently is the hallmark of a stack parking system. Years of innovation by Wohr has led to a revolution in this sphere.  Automated stack parking solutions by Wohr are the pinnacle of quality, ergonomics, and efficacy.

Increased Property Value

It is simple understanding that providing stack parking in housing complexes increases the intrinsic value of the property. Such parking facilities fetch a higher ROI from the property. The property builder, developer, or owner can claim extra for parking facilities and save construction costs on a conventional parking lot. Providing a futuristic residential automated multi-level stack parking solution will benefit the property seller greatly.

Environmental Protection

Stack car parking systems are eco-friendly solutions. The environmental benefits of stack parking systems are reduced emissions, efficient use of resources, and improved air quality. Rather than squandering fuel and emitting exhaust, cars parked in residential automated parking systems are taken to their spaces environmentally cleanly and efficiently.

Safety &Security

Stack parking systems improve safety by reducing the risk of accidents, theft, and vandalism. Mishaps are common in parking lots where the rear-impact of two cars backing up from parking occur. Carjacking is common. All such incidents can be averted by installing stack car parking in residential areas.

Cost-effective

Stack parking systems are cost-effective as they reduce maintenance costs and fetch higher ROI. The singular feature of residential automated parking systems is the reduced total cost of ownership. Automated residential stack parks are the preferred means to make residential car parking affordable to all.

Convenient & User-friendly

Stack parking systems offer convenience for residents by automating the parking process and making it faster and easier. With convenient car parking, the apartment owner might say goodbye to worries about the safety of his car and the hassle of taking it out of that parking lot to go to work or wherever.

Future of Residential Car Parking Systems

The future of residential automated car parking systems is rather optimistic. Vehicle tracking systems use On Board Diagnostic (OBD) sensors or GPS to gather data on cars to ascertain parking spaces' occupancy.

Stack parking systems play a big role in shaping the future of residential parking and will continue to evolve in the coming years. This data from the OBD sensors is processed by the corresponding network server & shared in a readable format with car company managers and drivers.

Conclusion

The benefits of stack parking systems for residential areas emphasize their importance in solving the growing problem of parking congestion and space shortage. We may expect new technologies to enter most big open-air and underground parking lots soon. Statistics show that the number of cars is on the constant rise and the need for smarter residential car parking spaces is an imperative.

HYDRAULIC CAR PARKING SYSTEMS: VIABLE SOLUTION FOR MODERN-DAY PARKING PROBLEMS

 

Indian cities are developing like concrete jungles with large building complexes and high-rise construction becoming the order of the day. This naturally gives rise to huge parking area requirements which are impossible given the scarcity of space and high cost of urban real estate.

So how do we accommodate more cars in minimum space? The automated multi-level car parking system emerges as a viable and apt solution.

Multi-level car parking systems come in different varieties: stacked car parking, puzzle car parking, tower parking, and more. These car parking systems use either an electric motor or a hydraulics mechanism to lift and move cars from the entry level to the vacant space on the upper level.

What exactly is hydraulic power?

Hydraulic power, also called Fluid Power, is power transmitted by the controlled circulation of pressurized fluid, usually a water-soluble oil or water–glycol mixture, to a motor that converts it into a mechanical output capable of doing work on a load. Hydraulic power systems have greater flexibility than mechanical and electrical systems and can produce more power than such systems of equal size. They also provide rapid and accurate responses to controls. As a result, hydraulic power systems are extensively used in modern aircraft, automobiles, heavy industrial machinery, and many kinds of machine tools.

What are Hydraulic Car Parking Systems?

Hydraulic Car Parking Systems are multi-level parking systems that use hydraulics to lift and lower the cars within the automated car parking system.

The driver leaves the car inside an entrance area and technology parks the vehicle at a designated area. Hydraulic car lifters raise the vehicle to another level for proper storing. The vehicle can be transported vertically (up or down) and horizontally (left and right) to a vacant parking space until the car is needed again. When the vehicle is needed, the process is reversed and the car lifts transport the vehicle back to the same area where the driver left it. In some cases, a turntable may be used to position the car so that the driver can conveniently drive away without the need to back up.

Benefits of Hydraulic Car Parking Systems

Other than the most obvious benefit of more parking spaces in a limited footprint thereby saving valuable real estate, hydraulic car parking systems offer many advantages. These include:

·         Less construction time and cost

·         Better security because patrons do not walk to and from their space

·         High parking efficiency

·         No driving while searching for an available space = reduced emissions

·         Patrons wait for their car in a controlled environment

·         Less potential for vehicle vandalism & theft

·         Minimal staff needed if used by familiar parkers

·         Retrieval time can be less than the combined driving-parking-walking time in conventional ramped parking structures

·         Eliminates the need for valet parking

·         Reduces the competition for the best spaces. Since drivers do not need to be concerned about the physical location of the vehicle, they can simply drop off the car without going through a lengthy process of finding the best space

PARKSAFE 582: AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEM FROM WOHR

 

In recent years, technology has been developed and worked to address a multitude of issues that challenge modern society. Parking is one such problem that has benefited from modern technology.

With rapidly increasing populations and bursting urban centres, parking space for the growing number of vehicles is a real concern. Automated car parking is a technology that more and more people are considering to maximise space.

Automatic car parking systems are a highly viable option.

THE SAFETY ADVANTAGE

Statistics show that traditional parking garages are the number one area where people are assaulted by strangers. Conventional self-parking garages present opportunities for thieves, vandals and assailants to operate, and are difficult to monitor and secure.

In automatic parking systems, there is no direct access. Even patrons have to leave their vehicle at the transfer area and leave. When retrieving their car, patrons simply enter their code and the car is delivered to them in the transfer area. All this in a matter of a few minutes!

If the transfer area is fitted with a turntable, the car will be delivered facing in the driving direction - saving even more time.

REASONS TO INVEST IN AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

- vehicles can be stored and retrieved without human intervention

- achieve significantly higher automobile density within the facility

- conserve open space

- reduce expensive excavation
