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

DISCOVER AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEMS WITH WOHR

 

The automated car parking system is an idea whose time has come! Across Indian cities and around the world, urban planners and real estate developers are increasingly turning to automated parking systems to provide more parking spaces in limited land.

While we may think automated parking systems are a modern phenomenon - it is in fact, a fairly old invention. The earliest use of an APS was in Paris, France in 1905 at the Garage Rue de Ponthieu. The APS consisted of a ground-breaking multi-story concrete structure with an internal car elevator to transport cars to upper levels where attendants would then park the cars in the vacant space on that level.

WHAT IS AN AUTOMATED CAR PARKING SYSTEM?

It is a mechanical system designed to minimise the area required for parking cars. It is a structure where cars are stacked vertically to maximise parking space and minimise land use. Automated parking systems offer many advantages and come in multiple types and forms.

They can be divided into two broad categories:

Fully automatic: Here, the system does not require an attendant; the system's mechanical process will automatically transport the vehicle from the entry point to the vacant parking space and retrieve it when required.

Semi-automatic: This car parking system requires some action from the driver or an attendant before the mechanical system moves the car to and from its parking space.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Automatic car parking systems use a combination of conveyance devices, computers, sensors and cameras to park and retrieve the vehicle. Similar to a valet parking system but without the valet.

- The automated parking system offers one or multiple bay rooms for depositing/retrieving vehicles.

- The driver enters the bay or ramp and stops at the marked sign. Once positioned properly, the driver shuts down the engine, secures the parking brake and steps out of the car, and exits the site.

- Sensors analyse the vehicle to determine its size and shape.

- The mechanical arms of the system are now set in motion. Depending on the available empty spots in the system, the car is carried to the respective space, using various electro-mechanical components and a shuttle system that moves vertically and horizontally.

The entire process takes hardly 2 minutes. The smart parking system uses RFID or an electronic card/key containing a code that identifies and admits your vehicle during entry, and later locates the car and brings it to you.

In some cases, the system is fitted with a turntable so that the car is brought to you facing in the exit direction. This means that drivers do not need to reverse the car - they can just drive straight out.

WHY ARE AUTOMATED PARKING SYSTEMS SMARTER?

No points for guessing. The advantages of such automated multilevel car parking systems are quite evident. The most obvious is that they fit more cars in the least floor space. Having no access ramps, elevators or stairways, they occupy less space on the ground.

More space is gained from the fact that the cars are stacked much closer together than in traditional parking lots where they require clearance for the doors to open. This feature also serves to provide safety and security against thefts, accidents and vandalism.

Being a fabricated metal structure, you save on construction costs. You also save on fuel consumption (and thereby reduce CO2 emissions!) as you do not require the engine to be running while the car is moved through the building.

These systems are versatile; can be built above or underground as per the space available.

AUTOMATIC PARKING SYSTEMS FROM WOHR

Wohr offers an Automatic Car Parking System: Combiparker 555. Working on the principle of stacking and moving cars closer together, it offers up to 8 levels vertically and up to 7 grids horizontally.

Vehicles are parked in parking levels with specially designed adjustable sliding carrier units. In every second grid, transport lifts ensure the lifting and lowering of vehicles. These grids also serve as entrances and exits.

This cost-effective technology is easy to operate and ideally suited to car service centres, car dealers, car rental companies, commercial and residential buildings.

Wohr's other automatic parking system is a tower parking system: Slimparker 557. Available in tower and shaft variations, this new parking system rises up to 6 levels, each accommodating 4 cars.

Slim construction contours mean a small ground plan and slim installation width of only 280 cm.

SOLVING THE PARKING SPACE CONUNDRUM: WOHR PUZZLE PARKING SYSTEMS

 Research suggests that a commuter in Delhi spends over 80 hours every year looking for parking space. It's not hard to believe. All of us who live in India's cities face this problem on a daily basis. To put it simply, even as the population and number of vehicles have grown exponentially in urban centres, parking space has remained constant or even reduced. With land being limited and expensive, the demand for parking space is an almost unbearable burden.

The pandemic situation in the last two years hasn't helped. There is an influx of people into towns and cities in their private vehicles, causing an even bigger space crunch.

Multilevel parking options offer a viable solution. Today, increasingly, urban planners and architects are giving thought to automated car parking systems in India.

Among multilevel car parking systems, puzzle car parking systems seem to be the preferred choice.

What are puzzle parking systems?

Puzzle Parking is a semi-automated or fully automatic car parking solution based on the system of stacking and moving cars closer together. Like a sliding puzzle, it features combination pallets that repeatedly move vertically and horizontally to move vehicles in and out.

It is an independent parking system, meaning there is no dependency of any car on other cars for retrieval from the system. It can be easily configured and customized to any property criteria. The smart car parking system is generally powered by electric motors or hydraulic pumps that move vehicles into and out of a storage position.

BENEFITS OF PUZZLE CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

Puzzle parking systems can be installed in various ways for aboveground and underground parking. In particular, the two-layer puzzle type is generally used for underground parking lots due to easy installation.

This system requires no additional architectural work and features quick installation, easy operation and maintenance, and a fast in-out manoeuvre. Drivers need to spend not more than 60 to 90 seconds to park/retrieve their vehicles!

Puzzle parking is designed with safety features such as photo-electric sensors, anti-corrosive platforms and anti-slip platform designs. A PLC-based system enables better control and smooth operation sequencing.

This automated car parking system offers various combinations and permutations of levels, making it best suited for residential complexes, IT parks, commercial complexes, malls and hotels. Whether you are planning a new construction or retrofit, puzzle parking provides the perfect fit.

PUZZLE PARKING SYSTEMS FROM WOHR PARKING SYSTEMS (WPS)

WPS' puzzle parking systems are marketed under the name 'Combilift' and currently include four models. WPS has introduced some modern features for their Combilift series such as automatic/manual doors for additional security. WPS also offers remote operation and RFID for touchless operation - an especially relevant feature in these pandemic-stricken times.

The Combilift series includes:

Combilift 542

This is an independent parking system in 2 levels above each other with a pit, suitable for when headroom is restricted. This system has always 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

This is the most compact, space-saving Combilift for independent parking on 3 levels above each other. The entry is always at the middle level. The user selects his place via an operating panel. Low-wear hydraulic systems ensure the smooth and safe movement of vehicles.

Combilift 551

An independent parking system on two levels without pit. Entrance level platforms move laterally and upper-level platforms move vertically, with always one platform less at the entrance level. To bring down the 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

The Combilift 552 offers independent parking in 2 levels above each other and 2-3 rows behind each other. A smart combination is to put in Combilift 551 or Combilift 543 system behind Combilift 552. The 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 that is located in the rear row.

WOHR MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

 

As India's towns and cities get more crowded and congested; as the number of vehicles grows exponentially while available parking space struggles to keep pace – weare faced with an urban crisis. Road spaces get obstructed, flow of traffic gets hampered, probability of accidents increases. Simultaneously,drivers end up wasting time, energy and fuel; pollution levels rise.

Multilevel car parking provides a feasible and effective solution.

WHAT IS MULTILEVEL PARKING?

Simply put, a multilevel car parking system is a manual or automated facility that utilises vertical rather than horizontal space for parking vehicles.It houses multiple vehicles on every level thereby enabling optimal utilisation of precious space.

Multilevel car parking offers more advantages. It comes with low maintenance, operational and construction costs. If automated, it offers more safetyfor both the vehicle and the driver than conventional parking lots. Multilevel parking systems also free up valuable urban space for landscaping, amenities or other lucrative use.

While we may think the shortage of parking space is a comparatively modern issue, it's interesting to note that the first recorded multilevel car parking system was built way back in 1918 in Chicago, USA.

WOHR’S RANGE OF AUTOMATED MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

Wohr offers a wide range of options in multilevel car parking. Barring a few exceptions such as the turntable and platform parking systems, all of Wohr’s products are multilevel parking systems. Broadly, they can be divided into 3 categories:

1.    Stack Parking: A stack parking system is a type of automated parking system that “stacks” more than a single vehicle in a singular parking space. The cars are placed on levels above and below each other, which gives the developer the benefit of providing parking spaces for multiple vehicles, while increasing space efficiency of the area.  Stack parking systems are supposed to double, or multiply the parking space available, and also uses the basement area if required. It is one of the most prominent parking systems available today.

 

These stack parking systems are segregated further into 2 types – Dependent and Independent.
Dependent parking systems are those where the lower platform has to be evacuated first, in order to let the upper platform come down.
Independent parking systems are those that do not depend on either platform in order to access the vehicles and remove them.

2.    Tower Parking: A tower parking system is one type of an automated parking system (APS) that is mechanically designed to vertically allocate parking spaces, especially in very small and narrow plots. This system is also known as an elevator parking system as it uses a lift mechanism to reach the various “levels” it provides, ranging from 5 to almost 35.

A tower parking system uses the most compact plot area, and maximizes the parking spaces within the same. For example, it provides enough space to vertically park 60-70 vehicles, in the space of just 3 vehicles. Developers have now moved towards installing these tower parking systems in their buildings as they help with feasibility, security, safety and provide more parking spaces in a more systematic manner.

3.    Puzzle Parking: A puzzle parking system provides multiple parking spaces in the form of levels – Upper & Lower. These levels, or parking spots, have the capability to move horizontally or vertically, just like a “Puzzle”, to automatically park a vehicle in a vacant spot. These systems are independent in nature, which means that any car can be parked or retrieved without vacating another parking spot.

These parking systems make use of hydraulic systems to move the “pallets” vertically and horizontally, depending on the availability of a vacant spot. It is a fully automatic system where the driver just has to park the vehicle in the lower platform and vacate the car. The system then moves the pallet on which the car is placed to a vacant spot wherever it is possible. In order to do this, there is always one vacant spot, which enables all the other platforms to move freely and retrieve the car that is needed. This system is easy to maintain and has lower operating costs as compared to a conventional parking space.

 

ADVANTAGES OF WOHR’S MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

-          Optimal utilisation of space

-          Higher cost efficiency: lower maintenance and operational cost

-          Lower construction cost; easier and faster to build (owing to the prefabrication)

-          Safety & security(as there are no ramps or walkways, people do not walk around the car, thus saving the vehicle from harm, theft or vandalism)

-          Environment-friendly (the underground implementation renders the outdoor space free for landscaping)

-          Saves time and fuel as drivers do not have to drive around trying to locate parking space

-          Comfortable for the drivers

-          Cost saving for builders by saving height or depth

-          Requires minimal lighting, cleaning, maintenance, staff, etc. to keep running

Puzzle Parking Systems from Wohr

 

Wohr’s diverse range of puzzle parking systems is a success story going back decades. Wohr’s first puzzle car parking system - the Combilift - was installed in 1988, and the technology has been continually optimized and developed over the years. 

Operating Concepts of the Combilift Series 

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

The entire Combilift range supports vehicles of up to 2.6 tonnes. The Combilift system can accommodate vehicle heights of up to 2.05m depending on the system configuration. It also has options for parking widths of between 2.30m to 2.70m. 

Wohr has designed several operating concepts that offer user-friendly operations. The safety aspect is a notable priority. The operations for the standard Combilift system are done by using RFID chips as operating devices. 

The Combilift Series from Wohr 

The Combilift systems are puzzle car parking systems that are designed for consummate usability. This series has high levels of functionality and now offers configurations that make parking even more convenient. 

Combilift 551: The Combilift 551 is designed with two parking levels without a pit and permits independent parking. All parking spaces can be accessed directly from the entrance level by lifting and sliding the parking platforms. There always remains one empty parking space at the entrance level. 

This system incorporates an astute design in which the entrance level platforms move laterally and upper-level platforms move vertically. When bringing down the upper platforms for parking in or out, the entrance level platforms are first moved to one side to provide an empty space into which the pertinent upper platform is lowered. 

Combilift 552: The Combilift 552 series can be added as an extra row of parking spaces in front of the Combilift 551, 542, or 543 if additional depth is available. Up to 3 Combilift systems can be installed one behind another. 

A central operating device is used to request for parking spaces. The spaces that are in the way can automatically slide to the side, allowing users to drive into the selected parking space. 

Combilift 542: A pit puzzle parking system that allows for independent parking on 2 levels above one another, the Combilift 542 is ideal for when headroom is restricted. This system requires a clearance height of just 2.20m for sedans and 2.30m for SUVs which permits it to be built into typically sized underground car parks.

The Combilift 542 always has one less platform at the entrance level. When a lower platform is requested, the upper platforms will move laterally until there is an empty space into which the requested platform is raised. 

Combilift 543: This parking system from Wohr is compact and space-saving and has three vertically stacked levels. The entry is always at the middle level. The parking position is selected via an operating panel. 

Vehicles enter and exit at the middle level and up to ten grids can be installed beside one another and can be operated using a single operating device. As with the whole Combilift series, parking spaces can be selected using an RFID chip, handheld transmitter or Wohr’s Smart Parking App.

Automated Car Parking Systems from Wohr

Wohr has been dedicatedly designing and manufacturing car parking systems that combat parking problems for more than 6 decades now. Wohr has had a remarkable journey so far - with the first system built in 1959, and their first automatic parking system in 1988, as well as the recent addition of a parking turntable. Wohr works relentlessly on its R&D to innovate and customise to solve different problems and serve the particular needs of projects. 

Having installed over 700,000 parking spaces worldwide - 100,000+ in India alone - Wohr is undoubtedly the global leader in car parking systems. Wohr also has the most extensive range of multilevel car parking systems. 

Automated Parking Systems from Wohr 

Wohr is the market-leading car parking manufacturer and offers a wide range of automated car parking systems to suit the particular space and project requirements. Their systems offer greater safety and security as the driver just has to drop the vehicle in the well-lit zone and the automated parking system does the rest.

Hydraulic lifts carry the car safely to vacant parking spots. While retrieving the vehicle too the car is brought and stationed at the well-lit pick-up zone where the driver awaits. The addition of a turntable allows some systems to ensure that the car faces the exit so drivers save time and effort. 

Since multilevel car parking systems have no stairwells, ramps, driving lanes etc, you end up saving on space and construction costs, while your vehicle is safe as well. Since there are no pedestrians, valets or parking attendants, your vehicles are safe from theft, vandalism and damage caused by poor driving. 

Features of Automatic Car Parking Systems 

●     These systems work on the principle of stacking and moving cars closer together.
