ABOUT PUZZLE CAR PARKING SYSTEM Puzzle Parking is a Semi-automated or fully automatic system based on the system of stacking and moving cars closer together. It features combination pallets that enable horizontal and vertical movement of parking spots just like a sliding puzzle.

It is an independent parking system, meaning there is no dependency of any car on other cars for retrieval from the system. It can be easily configured and customized to any property criteria. Parking systems are generally powered by electric motors or hydraulic pumps that move vehicles into a storage position.
