Automated Parking System Types

Robotic platforms guided by laser or sensor-based navigation autonomously retrieve and park vehicles. The driver never enters the parking area. No ramps, no driving lanes, no attendants inside the structure. The highest-density, most expensive automated parking option available.

Fixed steel rails guide robotic shuttle units that lift and transport vehicles to assigned storage slots. No ramps, no drive aisles, no attendant required inside. Three vehicle-acquisition methods: tire-contact, pallet-based, and comb-transfer.

Motorized platforms shuffle vehicles into open slots — vertical (multi-level) or horizontal (flat-floor). Driver positions the vehicle on an entry platform; the system handles all movement. Two configurations: vertical puzzle systems and horizontal puzzle systems.

Hydraulic or chain-driven platform systems that raise one vehicle above another in a dedicated bay. Simple, reliable, and cost-effective. Available in independent (any vehicle accessible at any time) and dependent configurations. The most widely deployed form of mechanical parking in the U.S.

Purpose-built for collectors, ultra-high-end residential towers, and boutique commercial facilities. Three formats: turntable platform display, automated underground vault, and collector gallery racking. Emphasis on presentation, climate control, and zero-contact handling.
