Our modern cities, no matter how big, are in desperate need of space. With the number of vehicles on the roads increasing every day, parking has become quite an issue. As a result, many residential and commercial spaces have started to consider modern parking systems. Today, multilevel parking has emerged as the optimal solution for the spatial needs of metropolitan cities of India. Various advanced parking systems like stack parking, puzzle parking, tower parking, etc., are being widely adopted by both residential and commercial complexes of all sizes. As cityscapes are modernizing, the applications of multilevel parking systems are evolving. So let’s take a look into the key aspects, features, and advantages of tower parking systems.
Understanding the Tower Parking System
A tower parking system stacks multiple cars one over the other. The height of such towers depends upon their individual capacity and the available space. If there is a small available space the system could be built as a standalone building but can be integrated into the main structure if needed. A tower parking system is a type of fully automatic car parking system that could be a straight stand-alone building structure or of a cylindrical appearance.
Sophisticated and Automated Parking Mechanism
The tower lifter performs the operation of lifting & stacking cars systematically in available slots. Once the driver carefully parks the vehicle on the lifter, the system lifts and parks it in an empty slot or a pallet at the click of a button. The retrieval process for the vehicles is reverse sequence of the same.
It is a type of automatic car parking system which, at times, might seem like a vending machine. The tower lifter will move in up and down motion along the y-axis while also rotating clockwise/anti-clockwise to change the direction of the vehicle. The pallet can move along the diameter of the tower and to the opposite parking space. One can find 10 levels to 35 level (or sometimes more) options in the Tower parking system.
The various levels of the tower are equipped with sensors that detect empty pallets. These sensors work in a unison and help the system decide, manage and move, the vehicles—carefully optimizing parking spaces. The tower parking system is fitted with an advanced combination of sensors that initiate operation from the entry of a vehicle on the lift, finding a suitable vacant space, lifting the vehicle to the vacant spot’s level, moving sideways towards the spot and releasing the vehicle.
Key Advantages of Tower Parking Systems
● Comfort for drivers – The system is highly autonomous and requires little to no manual intervention. The drivers just have to leave the vehicle on the platform and the machine handles the rest, from finding a spot to safe parking and retrieval.
● Suitable for smaller spaces – The system is designed such that it requires lesser space as compared to the larger integrated parking solution systems. This makes it highly adaptable and useful for smaller-sized commercial public parking spaces.
● Moderate maintenance and operating costs – The system only requires periodic maintenance, and regular checks, also, there are not many operational costs involved.
● Optimal utilization of space – This fully automatic car parking system does not require X-axis expansion in any format thus the vertical stack parking optimizes the space.
Klaus Multilevel Parking offers a premium fully automatic tower parking system which is suitable for all passenger cars according to the clearance and maximal surface load. This system accommodates cars in safety and is customizable for the project’s needs. One of the best examples of KLAUS’s Tower Parking System is the fully automatic tower system fitted at Godrej Central, Mumbai.
