Slim is in: Automatic Tower Parking Systems

by Wohr As parking space becomes a major issue in urban areas, a radical solution is required to solve the problem. Keeping in mind that land is scarce in our congested cities, we need a solution that multiplies parking space in a small footprint.

The solution to this problem is Wohr’s Automatic Tower Parking systems.

Why Tower Parking?

Tower Parking offers the most efficient system when it comes to saving horizontal space and making the most of vertical space. Tower systems can be designed and built to multiply parking capacity more than 20 times. However, lower configurations can also be installed to accommodate different height restrictions.

Here are some salient features of tower parking systems:       

It can be a completely stand-alone structure or can be integrated with a building. It can be fitted into narrow gaps too.

An automatic system with computerized control systems. Hence, it does not require any operator to function.

Does not need any ramps or drive ways, hence saving space to maximize the parking.

Offers safety against theft, damage and vandalism.

It is Ecofriendly due to its compact construction and reduced carbon emission.

Tower parking is ideal for commercial buildings that have a higher parking volume to accommodate.

Large residential complexes; where podium parking is not possible, tower parking offers the viable solution.

Wohr's Tower Parking Systems Wohr offers three basic models of Automatic Tower Parking Systems: Slimparker 557 Tower, Slimparker 557 Shaft, and Crossparker 558.

All three systems offer automatic parking of 22-23 cars of different car heights and lengths. The carrying capacity per platform / per car available is 2000 kg and 2600 kg. The systems have very small floor plan area and very slim construction.

Slimparker 557 Tower The new parking system offers up to 23 above-ground parking spaces on narrow and long ground plans. A central vertical lift located in the transfer area conveys the car to one of the 6 possible parking levels per system. Each parking level can store up to 4 cars.

The slim construction contours allow incorporation of a soundproof wall. This safeguards the residents of housing areas against adjacent road and rail traffic noise. Narrow gaps can be used for additional car parking spaces.

Highlights:   

Narrow gaps are perfectly closed Slim installation width of only 280 cm, can be extended up to 310 cm in 10 cm steps Individual façade can be done by the developer - max. weight of approx. 50 kg per m²

Slimparker 557 shaft When there is more space in length than in width, the Slimparker 557 shows off its merits. This slim system merely requires an installation width of 2.60 meters in narrow broad strips between buildings. It has been specially designed for the area between the set-back lines and building. Vehicles can be stacked up to 6 levels deep in front of, and behind the lift. The ground level lid can be furnished with the most varying coverings and can be camouflaged to suit its surroundings.

Highlights:     

Below grade arrangement especially designed for the area between the set-back line and building Can be driven over when entrance is lowered 2 to 4 row arrangement behind each other For multi-row arrangement an empty space is required Top platform can be covered individually by customer to suit to the surrounding

Crossparker 558

The Crossparker 558 offers an extension to the Slimparker 557 as far as width is concerned. Two further grids can be arranged on each side, left and right next to the central lift. In this way, the amount of parking spaces can be as much as doubled on the available ground surface.

Highlights:     

Below grade arrangement especially designed for the area between the set-back line and building Can be driven over when entrance is lowered 2 to 4 row arrangement behind each other For multi-row arrangement an empty space is required Top platform can be covered individually based on customs wishes to suit to the surrounding
