Tower Parking Systems Types & Advantages

Parking space has become the most vital issues faced by the civilians, as well as real estate developers. There has been a recent surge in the number of vehicles on the road that has affected the available parking spaces in buildings, malls, hotels, multiplexes, etc. making it very limited, if at all available. Due to this, there are certain parking violations such as on-road parking, which causes major congestion. Traffic congestion, along with very limited parking spaces, has made it extremely difficult to travel anywhere within any city.

A tower parking systems is one type of an automated parking system (APS) that is mechanically designed to vertically allocate parking spaces, especially in areas that have very small and narrow plots. This system is also known as an elevator parking system as it uses a lift mechanism to reach the various "levels" it provides, ranging from 5 to almost 35.

Developers have now moved towards 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. There are also added benefits such as effective space utilization, cost efficiency and eco-friendly sustainability of the country with lesser car emissions. These integrated systems are the future of car parking systems in India.

A tower parking systems has become extremely convenient to implement as it requires the the most compact plot area, and maximizes the parking spaces within the same space. For example, it provides enough space to vertically park 60-70 vehicles, in the floor space of just 3 vehicles. These same towers could be built next to each other, either in a connected or an independent structure to provide even more convenience to the user, as well as the builder. It is one of the most efficient types of automated parking systems as it reduces the space required, and saves space for amenities such as green spaces in parking lots.

Key Advantages:

Security: In comparison with the other car parking systems, the tower parking systems provides maximum security and safety measures. As the cars are placed in spaces high above the ground, it eliminates the chances of any theft, damage or vandalism of any kind.

Space Utilization: The tower car parking system utilizes extremely compact space and is vertical in nature, and has the capacity to accommodate vehicles in large numbers. Thus, it is mostly preferred for buildings that have very limited parking space or floor area. This is highly beneficial for developers that have commercial projects in place.

Cost Efficiency: As compared to conventional parking spaces, the tower parking system requires very less building volume and material and this makes it quite cost efficient. Conventional parking spaces could burn a hole in your pocket due to the amount of land they require and the building material for the same. This makes tower parking systems the perfect choice as they are built vertically.

Fully Automated: These systems are completely automatic in design, which means that the user only has to park the car on the platform. The system will then find a nearest available vacant space on any of the levels and transport the car there.
