Automated car parking systems stack cars vertically to maximize space utilization and minimize land usage. The systems use pallets or carts to automatically transport cars between levels for parking and retrieval, removing the need for drivers. Wohr is a leading manufacturer of automated parking systems, including their Combiparker 555 model which withstood a major cyclone in Kolkata, demonstrating the durability of their steel construction. Automated systems provide advantages like reduced space needs, higher capacity, easier operation, and increased security compared to traditional parking lots.

1. MAXIMIZE SPACE, MINIMIZE
FOOTPRINT WITH WOHR AUTOMATED
CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

2. INTRODUCTION
Automated car parking systems is a trend that's here to stay.
Across the world, real estate developers and municipal agencies
have come to realise that scarcity of parking space is a very real
problem that requires urgent consideration.
The automatic car parking system is one of the best innovations
of our times.
• It is a multi-level parking system in which cars are parked
vertically, thereby using less ground space.
• The automatic car parking system typically has horizontal
pallets or carts in each level and a vertical lift that carries the
cars from the drive level to and from the different floors for
parking and retrieving.
• The driver is removed from the parking process. The car is
driven to an entry point where the driver and passengers exit
the car. It is then automatically transported to its allotted
space.

3. INTRODUCTION
• Automated car parking systems are made of steel that
can withstand high pressure and tension.
A case in point is Wohr's Combiparker 555 installed
outdoors, at a commercial complex in Kolkata, West Bengal.
In August 2020, when Cyclone Amphan wreaked havoc on
the state, bringing trees, buildings and other structures to
the ground, the Combiparker withstood the onslaught with
unshakeable strength and tenacity. Needless to add, Wohr
Parking Systems are justifiably proud of this automatic car
parking system project.

4. FEATURES OF AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEMS
• A combination of stacking and moving cars closer together
• Uses state of the art servo drives and electronic guidance
systems
• Typical parking time is 1 minute
• Horizontal pallets in each level optimize parking and
retrieval time
• Modular construction to suit space availability at site
• Requires constant power supply

5. • Parking space i.e. depth, width and height reduced
substantially since there is no opening of doors or humans
allowed near the parked vehicle. This compacts even
more cars in less space
• Can be constructed and operational faster than traditional
parking lots
• Can extend up to 50 levels height
• Easy operation with several control options, e.g.
transponder chip or remote control
• Site security: with a variety of transponder form factors
that can be mounted on or within the vehicle, people can
enter a secured area without opening a door or a window
to obtain authorization.
ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATIC CAR PARKING SYSTEMS

6. • No expensive ventilation and lighting system needed

• Can be installed indoors or outdoors; above ground or
underground
• Suitable for car rentals, car service centres, multiplex,
shopping mall, office buildings, industries, educational
institutes, residential buildings, etc.
