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. 

Benefits of Wohr’s Multilevel Car Parking Systems 

-       Optimum utilization of space

-       High cost-effectiveness

-       Lower maintenance and operational costs

-       Lower construction costs

-       Easier and quicker to build

-       Enhanced safety and security

-       Highly environment friendly

-       Save time and fuel

-       Convenience for drivers

-       Cost savings for builders

-       Require minimal lighting and staff to operate

Modern Hydraulic Parking Systems from Wohr

 

With enormous building complexes and high-rise buildings becoming de rigueur, Indian cities are growing into concrete jungles. This in turn leads to huge parking space requirements which are impossible to fulfil due to the scarcity of free space and the high costs of urban real estate.

 So, what’s the solution? How can we accommodate more cars in minimum space? The multilevel car parking system presents itself as a salient and practical solution.

 Multilevel car parking systems have a number of diverse variants: stacked car parking, puzzle car parking, tower parking and many more. These car parking systems utilise an electric motor or hydraulic power to lift and transport cars from the entry level to vacant spaces on the upper levels.

 

What is hydraulic power?

 Hydraulic systems transmit power by the controlled circulation of pressurized hydraulic fluid - usually a water-based solution or water-glycol mixture - to a motor that transforms it into mechanical output that can perform work under load. Hydraulic systems come with increased flexibility over mechanical and electrical systems and are capable of producing more power than other systems of a similar size. These systems react accurately and rapidly to control instructions. All these advantages mean that hydraulic power systems are widely used in aircraft, automobiles, heavy industrial machinery, and many other applications.

 

What are Hydraulic Car Parking Systems?

 Hydraulic car parking systems are a type of multilevel parking systems that makes use of hydraulic power to raise and lower cars within an automated car parking system.

 The driver parks the car within an entrance area and the hydraulic system parks the car at its designated parking spot. Hydraulic lifts raise the cars to an upper level for safe storage. The car can be moved vertically and horizontally to a free parking space until it is required again. When the vehicle is called for, the process takes place in reverse and the hydraulic system transports the car back to the entrance area. Turntables can be added to position the car in such a way that the driver can easily drive out without having to reverse or turn.

 

Advantages of Hydraulic Car Parking Systems

 Hydraulic car parking systems offer many advantages in addition to the most apparent benefit of multiplying parking spaces in limited areas. These are:

      Lower construction time and costs

     Better security for the car and users

     Highly efficient parking

     No need to search for free parking spaces - saving time and reducing emissions

     Users wait for their car in a safe environment

     Reduced risk of vandalism and theft of the cars

     Minimal staff required to operate

     Lower retrieval times

     No need for valet parking

 Operating Concepts 

The Combilift series from Wohr is a semi-automatic, space-multiplying puzzle car parking system that offers convenient parking in the tightest of spaces by utilising the principle of stacking vehicles and moving them closer together. 

The entire Combilifit series is available for vehicle weights up to 2.6t. The Combilift series can accommodate vehicles up to a height of 2.05m depending on the system configuration. The width of the parking space can be between 2.30m to 2.70m. 

Wohr also facilitates the user-friendly operation of the Combilift through a number of easy operating concepts. The safety of the system is a particular priority. The Combilift works with an RFID chip as an operating device. 

Wohr Combilift Series 

Wohr’s Combilift puzzle parking system has been designed for efficient usability, high levels of functionality and ample availability. It comes in numerous configurations now in order to make parking even more convenient. 

Combilift 551: This multi level car parking system from Wohr offers two parking levels without a pit and provides independent parking. The lifting and sliding of the parking platforms allow all parking spaces to be accessed right from the entrance level. There always remains one empty space at the entrance level.

This is a smart car parking system wherein entrance level platforms move laterally and those on upper levels move vertically. When bringing down the upper platform for parking, the entrance level platforms will move to one side to provide an empty space into which the desired platform is lowered. 

Combilift 552: When there is additional depth available, the Combilift 552 multi level parking system can be installed to add an extra parking row in front of the Combilift 551, 542 or 543. Up to three units of the Combilift can be arranged one behind the other.

Parking spaces are summoned using a central operating device. Spaces that are in the way of the desired space automatically slide to the side, allowing users to park in the selected space.

Combilift 542: This is a pit puzzle parking system that offers independent parking on 2 levels above one another, and is ideal for when headroom is limited. This system needs a clearance height of only 2.20 m as a result of which, it can be built into regularly sized underground parking areas. 

Combilift 543: This is a compact, space-efficient smart parking system with three vertically stacked levels, with the entry always at the middle level. An operating panel is used to select the desired parking space. 

Vehicles make their entry and exit at the middle level. It allows up to 10 grids to be placed next to each other and is operated with a single operating device. The system can be operated using an RFID tag, handheld transmitter or the Wohr smart-parking app. 

Safety Gates 

Wohr recommends using safety gates to safeguard against incidents of theft or vandalism and prevent accidents caused by people loitering within the system or drivers trying to park before the platform is in place.
