Multiple parker

Brief explanation

The term multiple parker refers to a structure consisting of a vertically movable hydraulic lift table with more than 2 platforms that serve as a parking space for vehicles. The basic principle is the same as that of the double parker, only with a larger number of levels.

Detailed information

The actual basic structure can be installed outdoors on its own as well as inside a garage or in parking garages and underground garages. It is crucial that there is sufficient space above and below so that the levels, including parked vehicles, can be moved up and down.

Variants

In addition to the version described, which allows simultaneous use for all vehicles, there are also forms without a pit. With these, the two upper levels can only be used if the lowest parking space is free. The third level is therefore only accessible if both lower shelves are not occupied. The advantage is that installation can easily be carried out retrospectively without having to dig a pit. An outdoor parking space can therefore be turned into 3 parking spaces relatively easily.

Multiple parkers can also be combined with horizontal systems.

Possible applications

The tripling of the original parking space is of course particularly advantageous where space is at a premium. This can be the case, for example, on properties that have little free space next to or in front of the house. A multiple parking space can also be an interesting option for narrow driveways. If the lowest level is kept free, passage is possible and the two upper parking spaces serve as parking lots.

Within closed garages or in parking garages and underground garages, the multiplication of scarce parking space is of course the decisive advantage. It makes no difference whether the system is used in smaller garages in the private sector or for apartment buildings or on the parking decks of office buildings, the basic principle always remains the same.

Triple parker

Triple parkers are suitable either for a detached house with a small garage or for an office building with little underground parking space in width, but with a basement of sufficient depth (or height).

The ability to park three vehicles in one system elegantly proves that there are perfect parking systems for every requirement. Triple parkers can also be installed several times in a larger underground car park if it offers a lot of space downwards (or upwards to the lowest floor) from the outset, but comparatively little space. The basic principle is to use the parking space more efficiently by parking three vehicles on three levels above each other. They stand almost or completely horizontally on their respective platforms. The required floor space is somewhat larger than a single parking space because it also has to accommodate the technology of the parking system. The triple parker is the most cost-effective solution for high land prices in the city center: it offers three parking levels on one driving level or parking space. These are, of course, driven on horizontally when parking and unparking.

Specifications of the triple parker

Typically, cars with a height of up to around 170 cm can be accommodated in this parking system. Triple parkers are not really suitable for vans. The platform can be around 270 to 500 cm wide and can usually be loaded with up to two tons. The system works with low-wear hydraulics and the maintenance costs are low. It goes without saying that the systems carry a CE mark and are inspected by TÜV. The system usually requires a pit. Today’s modern systems allow a high degree of diversity. In the past, the pits were dug in rigid 15-cm increments, but variations in 5-cm increments are now possible. The technology is also so compact today that a lower ceiling height (often 5 to 10 cm less) is required than with older models. The vehicle heights remain the same as before. Among other things, such improvements were achieved by optimizing the platform drainage.

Stacking garage

Stacking garages (often called duplex garages or double parkers) make it possible to stack and park vehicles on top of each other using platforms.
Stacking garages expand the supply of parking spaces and thus create more flexibility in parking garages and large cities. They offer a good alternative on plots with little space and save costs in the long term.

How a stacking garage works

Steerable platforms allow one vehicle to be parked on the upper level while another is parked underneath. It would be like the mechanism of a car lift in a garage. The system is controlled by the driver via a control unit with a key. Safety mechanisms ensure that the cars are not damaged.

Models

The most cost-effective variant is the “non-retractable platforms”. No earthworks are required as the garage frame is built on level ground. It can be retrofitted to any garage with a ceiling height of three meters or more, depending on the height of the cars to be parked.

To be able to park the upper vehicle, the lower space must be free so that the platform can be lowered. This is a suitable option for long-term parkers who do not use their second car every day. The summer convertible serves as an example in winter, and the car can be safely stored in the cold season.

The second model is the “retractable platform” for independent parking. A pit is required for this, as the entire horizontal platform can be lowered. Both vehicles are therefore accessible at all times.

The last model is the underfloor system and the most expensive variant. The platform can be completely sunk into the ground and is therefore also known as a retractable garage. The car can therefore be completely concealed and is also suitable as anti-theft protection.

Advantages of a stacking garage

Stacking garages offer more parking options, even in confined spaces. Especially in large cities and small parking garages. They are adjustable in height and width so that even larger cars can be accommodated. With the underfloor system, it offers the car owner increased protection against theft.

Digital parking systems

Brief explanation

The term “digital parking systems” describes parking systems for vehicles that generally function via automatic control using digital technology. The parking space of the vehicle is digitally recorded by the system and then moved using elevators and platforms to save space.

With the help of the digitally stored data, the user can call back the parking space at any time to collect the vehicle.

Detailed information

The colloquially used term “automated parking garage” does not adequately describe these parking systems.

A distinction must first be made between semi-automatic and fully automatic systems.

Both park vehicles using a system of platforms that serve as parking spaces. Using appropriate conveyor technology, these are moved and organized both vertically and horizontally in an efficient and space-saving manner. In principle, therefore, this is a special type of automated storage rack. The alternative term parking shelf for digital parking systems is therefore entirely appropriate.

While semi-automated systems are partly operated by the user, fully automated digital parking systems are self-contained. Access for users themselves remains restricted to the entrance area.

Variants

Very different systems can be installed depending on the intended use. In the area of semi-automated systems, there are double parker or lifting systems, sliding lifting systems, driver replacement systems or turntable systems.

So-called transfer systems do not have lifting devices and only work horizontally. Parking shelving systems are also available in various shapes, such as radial systems with a circular or aisle systems with a rectangular layout.

Possible applications

Digital parking systems offer advantages wherever a large number of vehicles need to be stored in a space-saving manner. Large residential and office buildings can benefit just as much as shopping centers and public buildings. Demand is naturally high, especially in city centers.

Saving space is only the most obvious advantage. Another, which is becoming increasingly important, is the reduced volume of traffic. Digital parking systems shorten the search for a parking space. The advantages of avoiding traffic jams and the associated positive consequences for energy consumption and the environment are obvious.

Semi-automatic parking systems

Brief explanation

The fact that digital transformation is taking hold at all levels can also be seen in parking solutions. Transponder and ticket systems are among the analogue parking systems that are increasingly being replaced by digital systems as part of the digitalization process. Smart parking solutions are on the rise because they have many advantages over analog systems.

Semi-automatic parking systems are extremely variable, convenient and efficient. They are ideal for smaller apartment buildings and smaller businesses such as hotels. Of course, a semi-automatic parking system can also be installed in a detached garage. The parking lot user simply operates an app from the provider who has installed the semi-automatic parking system. This enables him to control an electronic operating system that is precisely adapted to the customer’s technical infrastructure.

Detailed information

To implement semi-automatic parking systems, one or more additional parking levels are installed. New access roads are not necessary. Because the platform covers the entire parking lot below, semi-automatic parking systems of this type also mean more protection for vehicles on the lower level. The platform surface is of course adapted to modern requirements and is not only easy to drive on, but also safe to walk on. As a rule, it consists of hot-dip galvanized steel profiles that are closed throughout. The material has a very high resistance to weathering and corrosion and is extremely abrasion-resistant. Semi-automatic parking systems can be equipped with additional features at any time, for example with integrated fans. A variety of door solutions with safety glazing are also possible.

If it is not possible to add a new parking level in a garage, a semi-automatic parking system that automates parking in the existing space provides support. The system automatically avoids situations that could lead to collisions. At the same time, it saves a lot of space, because the platforms travel on predefined routes and significantly less space is required for maneuvering than with analog parking systems. This means that the number of drive aisles can be reduced, allowing for a significantly higher number of parking spaces.

Parking systems for underground parking

Brief explanation

The collective term “parking systems for underground garages” refers to all types of systems that are suitable for use in underground garages with the primary aim of increasing the number of parking spaces. An underground parking garage is an underground parking facility for vehicles.

Detailed information

Underground garages can be found in private as well as public and commercial areas. As an alternative to the classic parking garage, which is above ground, an underground garage uses the space below ground to provide parking spaces. The numerous types and sizes of such underground car parks also place different demands on the underground parking systems, which increase the parking area enormously and thus make the use of the underground car park much more effective.

Variants

The question of which form of underground parking system makes sense and is possible in a specific case depends on the size and design of the underground parking garage. A basic distinction is made between analog, semi-automatic and fully automatic systems.

Both versions with and without a pit are possible for use in underground garages. Several floors multiply the number of available parking spaces. Depending on the structural conditions on site, the available space can be extended upwards or downwards as well as horizontally. Fully automated underground parking systems take over virtually all functions themselves. The user only has to drive the vehicle into the entrance area. This is then stored accordingly using a sliding system and can be recalled later.

Possible applications

Underground parking systems can be used in private residential buildings as well as in the underground garages of large office buildings. As there is a wide variety of different designs, the systems can be optimally adapted to the conditions on site. In the private sector, even a small underground garage under an apartment building can benefit enormously, while office buildings can significantly increase the number of employee parking spaces.

On a larger scale, such parking systems are also used by commercial parking garage companies, which operate underground garages as their main business model. The high efficiency of space utilization naturally makes the application particularly attractive in this case.

Multiparking

Multiparking is a variant of various car parking systems, including multi- and duplex or double parkers, the duplex garage and also parking pallets. The designation is selected when at least three, but usually significantly more, vehicles park in the system.

The systems for Multiparking are standardized through CE marking and TÜV certification. The latter are based on DIN EN 14010 and 1090. Differences result from the number of available parking spaces, from the technical realization and also from the space available for individual vehicles. In terms of their technology, such systems can be semi-automatic or fully automatic, but can still also function mechanically. How much space an individual car is allowed depends first of all on the floor space of the property. However, the available space can be optimized by cleverly positioning the pillars, among other things. If the manufacturer offsets these against each other, this allows the vehicle doors to be opened relatively wide, making it easier to get in and out. The load capacity and dimensions of the systems must also be taken into account. When cars and vans drive into the garage, heights of at least 215 cm are required, or slightly more if necessary. Older systems still use mechanical synchronization, while modern multiparking now relies on low-maintenance, highly economical hydraulic synchronization systems.

Flexible parking

For flexible parking, multi-parking systems move the vehicles and thus use the parking space more efficiently. This results in various advantages: The cars are stored in a more space-saving manner, but the entire real estate area is also used more intelligently. This creates space for other important areas of the home, such as an allotment garden or playground. Flexible systems also make it easy to park and unpark. Drivers can rely on the first-class functionality, the systems are fully developed. They are characterized by low operating and maintenance costs. These are all high-quality technical solutions that capture the trolley in a transfer cabin in fully automatic operation. The drivers drive in, leave their vehicle and can then leave the parking to the technology. The system drives the car on a parking platform and usually via a lift to the next free parking space in the parking garage. Parking is just as automatic: The drivers request their car, the system drives it via the lift and back into the transfer cabin. This technology is worthwhile for many vehicles in a large garage.

Parking systems for cars

Parking systems for cars are an intelligent way of making optimum use of the limited parking space available in densely populated urban areas. This works with high-quality technology for various systems and concepts. The car parking systems can function mechanically, semi-automatically and fully automatically.

Mechanical and semi-automatic standard parking systems can double or triple the number of parking spaces per unit area. Combi- and parking lifts stack the cars on top of each other. The design can be with or without a pit, which enables independent or dependent parking. A Combilift enables independent parking by moving cars to empty spaces. This works via parking plates that can be moved lengthways or crossways. The parking spaces move closer together and turntables make it easier to park on narrow access roads. Fully automated parking systems for cars stack the vehicles from a transfer area into a high rack via a lift/shuttle system. Such parking systems for cars can accommodate several hundred vehicles in a tower or high-bay system.

Variants of car parking systems

The individual technical solutions allow for a wide range of variants. These adapt to the structural characteristics of the respective building. Even in smaller office and apartment buildings, parking systems for cars are worthwhile if the location is the city center with very high land prices. In such locations, it would be far too expensive to buy additional parking spaces, which are hardly available anyway. Instead, buildings are being built upwards and downwards. Parking systems then make full use of the space. The individual variants do not always have to involve several hundred vehicles: Some parking systems for cars offer a total of 30 to 45 parking spaces, which can be completely sufficient for the residents or users of the office building. In such cases, inexpensive mechanical systems that drivers can operate themselves with a key are also an option. Real estate owners and project developers should seek comprehensive advice in advance to find the right option.

Fully automatic parking systems

Parking space is scarce – even the capacity of parking garages is no longer sufficient, especially in urban areas. New concepts should help. Fully automated parking systems are an innovative approach to this.

Functionality

The idea: Stack several cars in a parking lot. The vehicle is placed on a movable platform for this purpose. Moving units or lifting cranes then move the car to a free position. In most cases, the parking spaces can be moved both vertically and horizontally. The vehicle owner receives a receipt with which he can pick up his car later.

History

The idea is not new. The first “parking paternoster”, a forerunner of modern fully automated parking systems, was built in Chicago in 1937 and was designed for a maximum of 22 cars.

Benefits

The biggest advantage is the efficient use of space. If fully automated parking systems are included in the planning of large construction projects from the outset, parking space savings of up to 60 % can be achieved. This is not only due to the efficient use of the parking space, but also because the entrances and exits, wide parking spaces for people with disabilities and other aspects are completely eliminated. As no people are involved in the parking process with fully automated parking systems, there are also no costs for lighting and air conditioning.

The ecological balance is also positive, as fewer exhaust gases are produced. According to one calculation, up to 35% less CO₂ and 44% less benzene are generated with 780 parking spaces.

Psychologically, fully automated parking systems have the advantage that the vehicle owner does not have to enter the parking environment – the often dark surroundings trigger fear in some people.

Disadvantages

The automatic transportation of the parked vehicle takes time. The next vehicle can only be sorted in when the conveyor carriage has finished its work on the previous vehicle. The same effect also applies, of course, when a vehicle is collected again. Although designs with several conveyor systems are possible, this increases the cost of the system. Control logistics also become significantly more complex with two or more transfer systems.

Duplex parking systems

Brief explanation

Duplex parking systems double the existing parking space by placing a second level above it. The shelves can be moved up or down in a vertical direction. This is possible for single parking spaces as well as for two adjacent parking spaces.

Detailed information

The basic structure is quite simple in principle. In place of the original ground-level parking lot, a structure with at least two levels has been installed, which can be lowered or raised using the control element built into the wall. This allows you to position the level on which either the vehicle is parked or a free space is available. In addition to the engaged gear and the handbrake, brake triangles ensure that the vehicle is safely parked.

Variants

Duplex parking systems have now been developed in different variations. The simplest form is the so-called stack parking, where only the upper platform can be moved. The lower parking space must therefore be empty in order to use the upper level.

In order to be able to use both levels independently of each other, the construction requires space both at the bottom and at the top so that the levels, including the vehicle, can be moved either up or down. This means that a pit is required and, in an underground garage, sufficient space in the ceiling.

There are also differences in size. There are duplex parking systems with a single platform or with a double platform. Those with 3 floors are also possible. Special equipment with the corresponding extras is available for e-mobility or motorcycles.

Possible applications

Duplex parking systems also have numerous applications in the private sector. However, they are most frequently used in the underground garages or parking garages of larger building complexes. With optimal utilization, the number of parking spaces normally available can be practically doubled. And without having to walk long distances to a parking lot that may be outside.
