What is mechanical puzzle parking?

Puzzle mechanical parking systems can shuffle around multiple platforms, thereby providing individual parking spots for vehicles. This capability makes it possible to add parking spots above or below the ground. Due to the way the puzzle parking mechanism moves platforms up, down, and side-to-side, these systems resemble children's sliding puzzles.

Puzzle car parking systems fall within the designation of semi-automated mechanical parking because people must drive their cars in and out of the spaces. Once a vehicle is secure within a space and the driver stands clear of it, the system can move around its platforms.

System's unique advantages

Puzzle mechanical parking systems present several advantages over conventional parking and basic parking lifts. They allow buildings to add parking without expanding their lots or garages. Puzzle parking systems can take on a variety of configurations to fit within existing parking garages. This adaptability means that they can work in all kinds of circumstances, including those where developing more land is not possible.

Unlike parking lifts, there is no need to have valet staff who can remove vehicles on the ground level and lower the raised platforms. Users can instead directly identify themselves and call their cars. From there, the system will move around its platforms to bring that person’s car to grade level, where they can then drive it out of its parking spot. Puzzle parking systems are highly convenient thanks to this streamlined operational setup.
