Tower Parking System — What is it?

The Vertical Solution for Urban Parking Challenges

Tower parking system is a vertical, mechanized parking solution that allows for the efficient vehicle stacking in multi-level structures. This inventive system uses automated or semi-automated technology to park cars, similar to how an elevator does for people. Designed and built to maximize vertical space, these systems enable the storage of a greater number of vehicles in less physical space, making them a practical solution in urban areas with high land values.

How It Works:

In a standard tower parking system, a vehicle that pulls into the facility will be raised and positioned into one of a number of vertical parking slots. Through an advanced network of controllers and sensors, the process is seamlessly managed without human assistance. There are two main variants: Automated Tower Parking and Semi-Automated Tower Parking

Our Tower products including our flagship Slimparker 557 Tower System and Crossparker 558 are at the forefront of this evolution, equipped with state-of-the-art design and technology tailored toward the future of towerparking solutions. These systems are designed to be precise, providing an automated parking system that makes your parking not only more effective but also utilizes the space better by fitting multiple vehicles.

The Limitations of Conventional Parking

Addressing the Flaws of Traditional Parking in Urban Environments

Traditional parking solutions, be it surface lots or underground garages, are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. As they are terribly inefficient, this is especially true in (sub)urban environments, where every square meter of land counts. Here’s how and why traditional parking solutions no longer work for urban areas:

1. Limited Land Utilization

Urban developers and building managers need to maximize land use. Traditional parking lots need a vast amount of area, leading to massive, underutilized spaces that could be used for profit. Alternatively, tower parking systems take up minimal footprint while they park dozens of vehicles, thus maximizing land value.

2. Time Inefficiency

The time lost looking for a space or navigating bustling garages does not just annoy users; it exacerbates urban congestion. The automation in Wohr’s automatic parking car in India systems significantly reduces the retrieval time, ensuring vehicles are dispatched quickly and efficiently.

3. Security Challenges

Safety is a prime concern when it comes to a parking space. Conventional parking can leave the car vulnerable to theft, vandalism or even accidental damage. Our systems minimize the human access within multistorey parking, significantly reducing these risks. One way that users can be assured of building safety is through the use of tower parking systems, which have access to a controlled environment that keeps vehicles away from the risks of parking areas or garages.

Strategic Benefits of Our Tower Parking Systems

The benefits of using tower parking systems go beyond mere space management. Read more about how our innovative tower parking solutions are helping to add significant value to urban and commercial properties in India and other countries.

●     Maximum Space Efficiency

Tower parking has one major benefit: it saves space. For instance, a system such as the Slimparker 557 Tower System can park up to 60 vehicles in a vertical stack occupying space that would accommodate just 6 to 8 cars with conventional methods. For developers in crowded markets such are as Mumbai, where every square-foot matters, this is a game-changer.

●     Time-Saving Innovations

Multiply with Multilevel Parking Systems

 

India is faced with a major urban crisis with the number of vehicles growing exponentially and the availability of parking spaces reducing. This situation leads to road space being impeded, flow of traffic getting hindered and the chances of accidents increasing. It also results in the drivers’ time, energy and fuel being wasted, with the accompanying rise in pollution levels. 

Multilevel Car Parking provides a practical and potent solution! 

What is Multilevel Parking? 

To put it plainly, multilevel car parking systems are manual or automated facilities that make use of vertical space over horizontal space for the parking of vehicles. They can house multiple vehicles on every level, allowing for the optimal utilization of scant parking space. 

Multilevel car parking systems come with many advantages. They offer low maintenance and low operating and construction costs. Automated types of car parking systems offer increased safety for both the car occupants and the car itself when compared to traditional parking lots. These multilevel parking systems also release precious urban space for other purposes like landscaping, amenities et al.

While it may seem that the scarcity of parking spaces is a modern development, the first multilevel car parking system was designed and installed all the way back in 1918 in Chicago, USA. 

Wohr’s Multilevel Parking Systems 

Wohr brings with it a wide range of multilevel car parking systems which can be split into 3 categories: 

1.    Stack Parking: A stack parking system is a kind of automated parking system that can ‘stack’ more than one vehicle in a single parking space. The cars are positioned on levels above and below each other - giving the developer an opportunity to provide parking spaces for multiple cars while making efficient use of limited space. Stack parking systems can double or even multiply the available parking space and can also utilize the basement or pit area if necessary. It is presently one of the most popular parking available on the market.

Stack parking systems can be further split into 2 types - Dependent and Independent.

Dependent systems are those in which the lower platform has to be emptied before the upper platform can be lowered.

Independent systems are those that aren’t dependent on either platform for the parking and retrieval of vehicles.

2.    Tower Parking: Tower parking systems are one of the types of automated parking systems that are configured to allocate parking spaces vertically, particularly in small and narrow plots. This system is also called an elevator parking system as it makes use of a lift to transport cars to its numerous levels.

A tower parking system makes the most of compact plot areas and multiplies the parking space within them. An example of this is that it can provide space to park 60-70 vehicles in the space of just 3. Major real estate project developers have been transitioning to the installation of these systems in their projects as they offer feasibility, security, and safety and multiply the available parking spaces in a highly systematic manner.

3.    Puzzle Parking: A puzzle parking system can provide multiple parking spaces on different levels - upper and lower. These parking spots can move both horizontally and vertically, in the form of a ‘Puzzle’ in order to automatically park a vehicle in a vacant spot. These are independent parking systems that allow for any car to be parked or retrieved without having to vacate another parking spot.

These systems employ hydraulic power to move the ‘pallets’ vertically and horizontally as per the available vacant spots. This fully automatic parking system allows drivers to park their vehicles on the lower platform and vacate the car. The system then transports the pallet on which the car is parked to a vacant space where possible. This system always consists of one vacant parking space that enables the other parking spaces to move freely and retrieve the car that is required. This is an easy-to-maintain system with lower operating costs when compared to conventional parking.

Multilevel Car Parking Systems from Wohr

 

India’s towns and cities are only getting more crowded and congested, with the number of vehicles growing exponentially and the availability of parking spaces not keeping pace, we are looking at an urban crisis. The lack of parking spaces leads to roads getting obstructed, traffic flow getting hampered, increase in the probability of accidents. It also leads to a waste of time, energy and fuel leading to a rise in pollution as well. 

Multilevel Car Parking provides a feasible and productive solution. 

What are Multilevel Parking Systems? 

Multilevel car parking systems are manual or automatic facilities that make use of vertical rather than horizontal space for the parking of vehicles. These systems can house multiple cars on every level thus enabling optimum utilization of precious space. 

Multilevel car parking comes with more advantages. It offers low maintenance and low operational and construction costs. Automatic parking systems offer more safety for both the driver and vehicle than typical parking lots. Multilevel parking systems also save valuable urban space for landscaping, amenities or other useful purposes. 

The shortage of parking space is a long-running issue, with the first multilevel car parking system being built a long time back in 1918 in Chicago, USA. 

Wohr’s Range of Multilevel Parking Systems 

Wohr has a wide range of offerings in multilevel car parking. All of Wohr’s products are multilevel parking systems - with a couple of exceptions. 

These systems can be divided into 3 types: 

1.    Stack Parking: Stack parking systems are a type of parking system that stack more than a single vehicle in a single parking space. The cars are placed on levels above or below each other, benefiting the developer by providing parking spaces for multiple vehicles while increasing the efficiency of space usage. Stack parking systems can double or multiply the parking spaces available and is one of the leading parking technologies available today.

Stack Parking Systems can be segregated into 2 further types - Dependent and Independent.
Dependent parking systems are ones in which the lower platform has to be emptied first in order to let the platform descend.
Independent parking systems are those that are independent of either platform for accessing and removing vehicles.

2.    Tower Parking: Tower parking systems are a form of automated parking systems that are mechanically designed to vertically allocate parking spaces, especially in situations where the available space is very narrow and small. They are also known as elevator parking systems as they use lifts to reach their various levels. Tower parking systems use the most compact plot areas; maximizing the parking spaces available. They provide enough space to park scores of vehicles in the space of just 3. Developers have started installing these tower parking systems in their buildings - helping with feasibility, security, safety and providing more parking spaces in a systematic manner.

3.    Puzzle Parking: Puzzle parking systems provide multiple parking spaces on levels - Upper & Lower. These levels are capable of moving horizontally or vertically in the form of a ‘Puzzle’ - automatically parking a vehicle in a vacant spot. These systems are independent in nature - meaning that any car can be parked or retrieved without having to vacate another parking space.

These parking systems utilize hydraulic parking systems to move the ‘pallets’ vertically and horizontally - depending on the available parking spots. It is a fully automatic parking system in which the driver just has to park the vehicle on the lower platform and vacate the car. The system then moves the pallet with the car to a free spot where available. This can be done because of the presence of a vacant parking space which allows the other platforms to move freely and permits the retrieval of the car that is needed. The system is designed to be low-maintenance and has lower operating costs when compared to conventional parking. 

Advantages of Wohr’s Multilevel Parking Systems 

-       Allow for the optimal utilization of space

-       Offer higher cost-efficiency with lower maintenance and operational costs

-       Have lower construction costs as they are easier to build and install
