Brief explanation
Mechanical parking systems are systems in which the vehicles’ own movement during the parking process is completely or partially replaced by the mechanical movement of platforms.
Detailed information
In contrast to a purely manual parking process, in which the driver steers the vehicle into the final parking position themselves, mechanical parking systems take over parts of this process to varying degrees. A distinction is first made between analog, semi-automated and fully automated systems.
The core of such constructions is the actual platform on which the vehicle is parked. Depending on the design and system, this can now be moved together with the parked vehicle. This movement takes place mechanically and, depending on the type of construction, via analog operation, digital control or even fully automated.
Variants
The various design forms for mechanical parking systems can occur in pure form or in combination with each other. There are hydraulic lift tables with 2 or more levels, different sliding constructions in a horizontal arrangement, simple parking spaces or entire fully automated parking garages. What they all have in common, however, is that the vehicle is parked on a platform, which is then moved as a parking unit.
Of course, it should always be noted that the respective design also sets corresponding limits for the size of the vehicles. However, this also applies to many “normal” parking spaces, which can also be limited to the sides or upwards, for example by a roof.
Possible applications
Mechanical parking systems can be used wherever there is a need and the conditions for construction are right. A simple lift table in the form of a double parker can solve a major parking problem in front of or next to the house, even in private homes.
As the various elements available can be combined with each other as far as possible, optimum solutions can in principle be found for all problems.
