MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS FROM WOHR Add Title

CURRENT SCENARIO 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. 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 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.

WOHR’S RANGE OF MULTILEVEL PARKING SYSTEMS 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.

WOHR’S RANGE OF MULTILEVEL PARKING SYSTEMS 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 is designed to be low-maintenance and has lower operating costs when compared to conventional parking.
