The growing population has created many problems. One of the challenging ones is car transportation parking which we face almost every day. Besides the problem of space for cars on the road, the problem of space for a parked vehicle is much greater, for private vehicles remain parked most of the time. While residential projects still escape with designated parking, the real problem is with commercial spaces and often this is overcome by taking extra open spaces to park.

Automated car parking systems are popular nowadays. It is a method of automatically parking and retrieving cars that typically use a system of pallets and lifts and signaling devices for retrieval. They serve advantages like safety, saving of space, time and fuel, but also need to have an extra and a very detailed assessment of the parking required, space availability and traffic flow.

The concept of automated parking is still restricted to large cities. Some of the problems in this system as felt by the industry is the absence of a regular body for monitoring the quality of such systems, lack of skilled labor to assemble them or factors like poor after-sales services and technical snags that limit market growth.

This allows two passenger cars to be parked one above the other. Its single post saves space and offers flexibility. Besides a platform which is curved at the ends to allow the car to roll on/roll off conveniently, there is an operating control pendant that can be located anywhere in the garage, basement, and outdoor structure for operation from a safe distance.

Operating on the principal of a conveyor, horizontal circulation type car parking lift is used for parking cars in two to four levels in tight basements without any driveways. The cars are driven on to or off steel platforms at one entrance at ground level and parked cars circulate in the basement at different levels.
