Regular parking spaces can only accommodate one car per slot. A parking garage lifting system can increase capacity several times over by maximizing vertical space. Vehicles are stacked on top of each other in stable platforms for greater efficiency. Most are able to carry 6,000 lbs of load or more.
Unlike multi-level parking buildings, people don’t need to drive to a higher floor and find their slot. The system can move the cars straight up in order to free the space below. This has a lower vertical clearance and smaller width requirements. Thanks to the higher car density, the parking garage can expect greater revenues for years to come.
The lifting system is safe and effective. Although it requires a large initial investment, this can actually be cheaper than purchasing more land in urban areas where real estate is incredibly expensive.
