WHAT IS MULTILEVEL PARKING? Simply put, a multilevel car parking system is a manual or automated facility that utilises vertical rather than horizontal space for parking vehicles. It houses multiple vehicles on every level thereby enabling optimal utilisation of precious space. Multilevel car parking offers more advantages • Low maintenance, operational and construction costs • If automated, it offers more safety for both the vehicle and the driver than conventional parking lots. • Multilevel parking systems also free up valuable urban space for landscaping, amenities or other lucrative use. While we may think the shortage of parking space is a comparatively modern issue, it's interesting to note that the first recorded multilevel car parking system was built way backin 1918 in Chicago, USA.

CAR PARKING SYSTEMS
1. STACK PARKING
WOHR’S RANGE OF AUTOMATED MULTILEVEL
CAR PARKING SYSTEMS
• “Stacks” more than a single vehicle in a singular parking space.
• The cars are placed on levels above and below each other, which gives the developer the
benefit of providing parking spaces for multiple vehicles, while increasing space efficiency
of the area.
• Doubles or multiplies the parking space available;
also uses the basement area if required.
• 2 types – Dependent and Independent.
• In Dependent parking systems, the lower
platform has to be evacuated first, in order to
let the upper platform come down.
• Independent parking systems do not depend
on either platform in order to access the vehicles
and remove them.
2. TOWER PARKING
• Mechanically designed to vertically allocate parking spaces, especially in very small and
narrow plots.
• Also known as an elevator parking system - uses a lift mechanism to reach the various “levels”,
ranging from 5 to almost 35.
• Uses the most compact plot area, and maximizes the
parking spaces.
• E.g.can vertically park 60-70 vehicles, in the space of
just 3 vehicles.
• Developers are installing these tower parking systems
in their buildings as they help with feasibility, security,
safety and provide more parking spaces in a more
systematic manner.
3. PUZZLE PARKING
• Provides multiple parking spaces in the form of levels – Upper & Lower.
• These levels move horizontally or vertically, just like a “Puzzle”, to automatically park a vehicle
in a vacant spot.
• Independent parking system
• Hydraulic systems move the “pallets”.
• A fully automatic system: the driver just has
to park the vehicle in the lower platform and
vacate the car.
• Always one vacant spot, which enables the
other platforms to move freely and retrieve
the car that is needed.
• Easy to maintain and lower operating costs.
Broadly, they can be divided into 3 categories:
ADVANTAGES OF WOHR’S MULTILEVEL CAR PARKING SYSTEMS
• Optimal utilisation of space
• Higher cost efficiency: lower maintenance and operational cost
• Lower construction cost; easier and faster to build (owing to the prefabrication)
• Safety & security (as there are no ramps or walkways, people do not walk around the car,
thus saving the vehicle from harm, theft or vandalism)
• Environment-friendly (the underground implementation renders the outdoor space free
for landscaping)
• Saves time and fuel as drivers do not have to drive around trying to locate parking space
• Comfortable for the drivers
• Cost saving for builders by saving height or depth
• Requires minimal lighting, cleaning, maintenance, staff, etc. to keep running
Wohr is one of the leading car parking systems manufacturers in India. With more than 700,000
parking spaces installed worldwide, 100,000 of these in India alone - the reliability, safety and
benefits of Wohr multilevel parking systems speaks for itself.
As India's towns and cities get more crowded and congested; as the number of vehicles grows
exponentially while available parking space struggles to keep pace – we are faced with an
urban crisis. Multilevel car parking provides a feasible and effective solution.
