Advantages of Modular Automated Parking System Technology

The patented Modular Automated Parking System (MAPS) we offer integrates computerization with mechanical lifts, pallets and carriers to park and retrieve cars in multi-level, modular garages (i.e., units that are standard in size and design, and can be arranged or fitted together in a variety of ways).

Fully customized systems meet specific client requirements and ensure optimum car throughput. This includes (but isn't limited to) the number of entrance and exit bays, lifting devices, and garage size.

MAPS offers many advantages and solves a number of problems typically associated with conventional parking facilities. With urban real estate being scarce and costs rapidly escalating, a major benefit is that complete parking facilities can be constructed on lots as small as 60 feet by 60 feet, up to 20 stories, within any facade or architectural design, above ground or underground (underground MAPS can cost as much as 30% less than standard parking garages). Facilities are built in sections or stages and shipped to construction sites. After initial installation, systems can be modified, expanded, or relocated, which means future needs aren't hindered by current budget restrictions.

From a patron perspective, MAPS facilities are easy and efficient to use, and safer than conventional garages: the entire parking and retrieval process is completed within minutes while patrons remain outside the main facility in well-lighted, secure areas.

Furthermore, MAPS provides peace-of-mind because other drivers and the general public don't have access to parking areas, which eliminates the chance of vandalism and theft. And because pallets are used to park and retrieve vehicles, there's no chance for machinery-caused damage. Pallets also prevent oil, salt, and other debris from landing on vehicles while they're parked and during transport.

Other advantages include:

  • Doubles the number of parking spaces (or requires only half as much land) to accommodate the same number of cars as conventional garages.

  • Lower personnel costs - parking attendant staffs aren't necessary.

  • Lower insurance costs. (By eliminating the chance for vehicle damage and personal injury, garage owners pay less garage owner's liability insurance.)

  • Reduced facility maintenance costs (significantly lowered lighting and ventilation requirements, and no costly concrete deck repairs).

The expanded product line we offer consists of 4 different models to accommodate a wide variety of parking needs:
