Expanding cities and urban regions all over the world are facing the same challenge – a fast growing demand for parking-spaces hit on narrow space. Old building stocks and heavy transit traffic cause a shortage of parking space for residents, visitors and business.

Choosing a parking solution that can stack vehicles upwards and use vertical space efficiently is by far the best way to make use of the limited area available for parking. Stack parking solution allow vehicles to be parked in limited horizontal space which can greatly reduce the upfront costs that would normally be incurred for securing land.

These transfer areas are accessible on street level. When holding his transponder chip to the operating device the driver activates the parking procedure. The door opens automatically and the driver is guided by a text display to the right position in the lift.

As soon as the driver has reached the right parking position, he stops the car, disembarks, locks his car and simply leaves the transfer area. By confirming the parking procedure at the operating device he starts the fully-automatic parking procedure. The door closes and laser-scanners at the ceiling of the transfer area check the correct positioning and dimensions of the car. The car is stored fully automatically.

When the driver wants to pick up his car again returns to the transfer areas and chooses his car via his transponder chip and the parking lift procedure starts in the opposite way. As soon as the parking system has transported the car into the transfer the doors open and the driver can easily exit with his car.

Not only car drivers gain from this trendsetting solution, but also the whole residential area profits. Parked cars are no longer blocking the street, which makes the situation more comfortable and safer for pedestrians and bikers. The reduction of traffic noise in scissor car elevator combination with the now good parking situation turned this inner-city district back into a place worth living and working.
