CARVAULTS Automatic

Automatic Parking Systems are often used in residential apartment buildings or commercial office settings, to fulfil the local authority’s parking planning requirements in busy urban environments.

These systems offer users safe and convenient parking in a garage-style loading area, before they exit the room. The vehicle is then transferred by lift to a secured storage area. 

The leading Automatic Parking Systems formats are:

  • Shuttle Parking Systems, where vehicles are shuttled through the storage area, in a defined grid format, on metal pallets. 

  • AGV Parking Systems, where vehicles are moved around the storage area by omni-directional Automated Guided Vehicles. 

These bespoke systems, often integrate car lifts, maximise the number of parking spaces, whilst minimising the impact of structural obstacles, like concrete supporting columns and building services.

Technical:

  • Modular: Quick installation with class-leading plug-and-play design.

  • Flexible: Highly configurable to suit site requirements.

  • Control: Touchscreen terminals, smartphone app and key fobs.

  • Noise: Whisper quiet operation

  • Maximum vehicle load: 3 tonnes

  • Power: Based on project size and specification.
