This CPD presentation video, brought to you by Double Parking Systems will cover:
- Introduction to mechanical parking systems
- Applications
- Design considerations including a deep dive into relevant Building Regulations
- System types
Mechanical parking systems are designed to maximise the number of parking spaces available in a given area. These systems come in a variety of types and involve lifting, moving and storing vehicles, typically in multi-level configurations.
With mechanical parking systems, drivers do not need to navigate traditional car parks. Instead, cars are parked on platforms that can be moved into a more space-saving position.
Mechanical parking systems offer a variety of benefits, including optimising land use and providing the highest parking density.
Since they free up valuable space that was once reserved for car parking, these systems allow for more beneficial uses of the space available, such as additional structures or green spaces. This enables more efficient and sustainable planning while enhancing overall project value.
Cost savings and reduced construction times are also key advantages of mechanical automatic parking systems.
Unlike traditional multilevel car parks that require extensive foundations, ramps and driveways, these systems are modular and have reduced structural requirements. The frameworks are prefabricated in a factory setting, so onsite installation is typically a matter of assembly rather than construction.
Since vehicles do not need to be manoeuvred within the facility, and since people typically do not need to enter the storage area, mechanical parking systems have a reduced need for ventilation and lighting, and there is no need for traffic management systems.
For users, these systems improve convenience and security. Because drivers don’t need to navigate busy and confusing car parks, they can park their cars faster and with less frustration. Mechanical parking systems also offer quick car retrieval times – typically around three to five minutes, but often less than one.
And because of the enclosed nature of the systems, vehicles are typically concealed, providing increased protection from theft and damage.
