About stacked parking systems

Stacked parking systems allow 2 or 3 cars to be parked one above the other in the space of a single car. Besides a platform, there is an operating control panel/pendant, and the system is either hydraulically or electro-mechanically operated. Stacked car parking is simple to operate, economical to run and maintain, and ideal for both indoor and outdoor installation, and well suited to valet parking. Furthermore, stacked car parking systems have a long service life - 15-20 years, which may extend to 30 years with good care and regular maintenance.

Multiple Advantages With Wohr's Multiparker

 

If you've ever visited Akruti Skypark in Mumbai, India, you would have seen Wohr's automatic car parking system technology at work. An impressive public garage, it rises 20 levels high and accommodates 240 parking spaces under one roof.

Wohr's car parking system at Akruti Skypark is the Multiparker 750. Located on Mumbai's upmarket Bhulabhai Desai Road, it is a fully automated system wherein parking and retrieval of cars takes barely 2-3 minutes. Estimates suggest that a parking facility of this kind with 240 cars, frees around 1.25 km of road space in an already congested locality.

When a large number of parking spaces is called for, Wohr recommends the Multiparker range of automated car parking systems.

Here, storage and retrieval units or shuttles move vehicles along all three motion axes. The various versions thus cater to a wide range of different requirements, the purpose of which is always to gain the maximum amount of space in order to be able to accommodate yet bigger amounts of vehicles, via the lateral and vertical stacking of said vehicles to form a parking rack.

MAXIMISE SPACE, MINIMISE FOOTPRINT WITH WOHR AUTOMATED CAR PARKING SYSTEMS.

 

Automatedcar parking systems is a trend that's here to stay. Across the world, real estate developers and municipal agencies have come to realise that scarcity of parking space is a very real problem that requires urgent consideration. The added problems of air pollution, wastage of time and fuel, traffic congestion, etc. make this situation even more serious.

The automatic car parking system is one of the best innovations of our times. It is a multi-level parking system in which cars are parked vertically, thereby using less ground space. The automatic car parking system typically has horizontal pallets or carts in 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 removed from the parking process. The car is driven to an entry point where the driver and passengers exit the car. It is then automatically transported to its allotted space.

Automated car parking systems are made of steel that can withstand high pressure and tension. A case in point is Wohr's Combiparker 555 installed outdoors, at a commercial complex in Kolkata, West Bengal. In August 2020, when Cyclone Amphan wreaked havoc on the state, bringing trees, buildings and other structures to the ground, the Combiparker withstood the onslaught with unshakeable strength and tenacity. Needless to add, Wohr Parking Systems are justifiably proud of this automatic car parking system project.

Puzzle Parking At Its Best: Wohr Combilift Series

 

WOHR offers a variety of puzzle parking solutions and celebrates a success story that goes back decades. Since WOHR installed its first Combilift in 1988, the puzzle car parking system technology has been continually optimized and developed in parallel with the technical progress made in recent decades.

Operating Concepts

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

All Combilifts are available for vehicles up to 2.6t. Depending on the system configuration, the Combilift can accommodate vehicle heights of up to 2.05m. Parking space widths of 2.30m to 2.70m are available.

WOHR offers user-friendly operation of the Combilift through various operating concepts. Safe use is a particular priority. The standard Combilift system is operated using an RFID-chip as an operating device.

Wohr Combilift Series

The Combilift puzzle car parking system is designed for optimal usability and, in addition to high levels of functionality and availability, now offers different configurations to make parking even more convenient.

Combilift 551: The Combilift 551 has two parking levels without a pit, for independent parking. By lifting and sliding the parking platforms, all parking spaces can be accessed directly from the entrance level. There is always one empty space at the entrance level.

A smart design where entrance level platforms move laterally and upper level platforms move vertically. To bring down upper platform for parking in or out, the platforms at the entrance level will first move to one side to provide an empty space into which the required platform is lowered.

Combilift 552: If additional depth is available, the Combilift 552 can be added as an extra parking row in front of the Combilift 551, 542, or 543. Up to three Combilifts can be arranged behind one another.

Parking spaces are requested using a central operating device. Spaces which are in the way automatically slide to the side, allowing users to drive into the selected parking space.

A smart combination is to put in Combilift 551 / Combilift 543 system behind Combilift 552. Empty space in the first row will be positioned in such a way that it is possible to drive through to reach the selected space, located in the rear row.

Combilift 542: The Combilift 542 is a pit puzzleparking system that provides independent parking on 2 levels above each other, suitable for when headroom is restricted. With a clearance height of only 2.20m required (clearance height for SUVs on both parking levels 2.30m) this parking system can be built into conventionally sized underground car parks.

This system always has one platform less at the entrance level. When requesting a lower level platform, the upper level platforms will move laterally until there is an empty space into which the appropriate platform is raised.

Combilift 543: The Combilift 543 is a compact and space-saving parking system on three vertically stacked levels. The entry is always at the middle level. The user selects his place via operating panel.

Vehicles enter and exit at the middle level. Up to ten grids can be arranged beside one another and operated by means of a single operating device. As with all Combilifts, parking spaces in the Combilift 543 can also be selected using an RFID, handheld transmitter or the WOHR Smart-Parking-App.

Safety Gates

For its puzzle car parking systems India, WOHR recommends safety gates to ensure protection against theft and vandalism, and prevent possible accidents caused by people entering the system or drivers entering the space before the vacant platform is in place.

In order to meet its customers’ individual requirements, WOHR offers a variety of safety doors for the Combilifts, ranging from metal sheet, perforated metal, metal mesh doors or rolling shutters.

WOHR hasn’t just focused on an appealing design, but also on the functionality of the safety doors. For instance, materials and processing techniques that maximize the life of the doors and the safe parking of vehicles have been used. In the standard system, doors are operated manually. However, doors with an optional electric drive are also available.
