Research suggests that a commuter in Delhi spends over 80 hours every year looking for parking space. All of us who live in India's cities face this problem on a daily basis.
Even as population and number of vehicles has grown exponentially in urban centres, parking space has remained constant or even reduced.
With land being limited and expensive, the demand for parking space is an almost unbearable burden.
2. CURRENT SCENARIO
Research suggests that a commuter in Delhi spends over 80 hours every year looking for
parking space. All of us who live in India's cities face this problem on a daily basis.
Even as population and number of vehicles has grown exponentially in urban centres,
parking space has remained constant or even reduced.
With land being limited and expensive, the demand for parking space is an almost
unbearable burden.
The pandemic situation in the last two years hasn't helped. There is an influx of people
into towns and cities in their private vehicles, causing an even bigger space crunch.
Multilevel parking options offer a viable solution. Today, increasingly, urban planners and
architects are giving thought to automated car parking systems in India.
Among multilevel car parking systems, puzzle car parking systems seem to be the
preferred choice.
3. WHAT ARE PUZZLE PARKING SYSTEMS?
Puzzle Parking is a semi-automated or fully automatic car parking solution based on the system of stacking and moving cars
closer together.
Like a sliding puzzle, it features combination pallets that repeatedly move vertically and horizontally to move vehicles in and out.
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.
The smart car parking system is generally powered by electric motors or hydraulic pumps that move vehicles into and out of a
storage position.
4. Puzzle parking systems can be installed in various ways for aboveground and underground parking.
The two-layer puzzle type is generally used for underground parking lots due to easy installation.
This system requires no additional architectural work, and features quick installation, easy operation and maintenance, and fast in-out
manoeuvre.
Drivers spend not more than 60 to 90 seconds to park/retrieve their vehicles!
Puzzle parking is designed with safety features such as photo-electric sensor, anti-corrosive platforms and anti-slip platform design.
A PLC-based system enables better control and smooth operation sequencing.
This automated car parking system offer various combinations and permutations of levels, making it best suited for residential
complexes, IT parks, commercial complexes, malls and hotels.
Planning a new construction or retrofit? Puzzle parking provides the perfect fit.
BENEFITS OF PUZZLE CAR PARKING SYSTEMS
5. WPS' puzzle parking systems are marketed under the name 'Combilift' and currently include four models.
WPS has introduced some modern features for their Combilift series such as:
PUZZLE PARKING SYSTEMS FROM WOHR PARKING SYSTEMS (WPS)
Automatic/manual
doors for additional
security
Remote operation and RFID for
touchless operation (an especially
relevant feature in these
pandemic-stricken times.)
6. COMBILIFT 542
This is an independent parking system in 2 levels above each other with a pit,
suitable for when headroom is restricted. This system has always one platform less
at the entrance level. When requesting a lower-level platform, the upper-level
platforms will move laterally until there is an empty space into which the
appropriate platform is raised.
COMBILIFT 543
This is the most compact, space saving Combilift for independent parking on 3 levels
above each other. The entry is always at the middle level. The user selects his place
via an operating panel. Low-wear hydraulic systems ensure smooth and safe
movement of vehicles.
COMBILIFT SERIES OF PUZZLE PARKING SYSTEMS
7. COMBILIFT 551
An independent parking system on two levels without pit. Entrance level platforms move
laterally and upper-level platforms move vertically, with always one platform less at the
entrance level. To bring down the upper platform for parking in or out, the platforms at
the entrance level will first move to one side to provide an empty space into which the
required platform is lowered.
COMBILIFT 552
The Combilift 552 offers independent parking in 2 levels above each other and 2-3 rows
behind each other. It can be arranged in 2 rows behind each other. A smart combination
is to put in Combilift 551 or Combilift 543 system behind Combilift 552. Empty space in
the first row will be positioned in such a way that it is possible to drive through to reach
the selected space, located in the rear row.
