Store-Park is a semi-automatic, modular, self-standing parking system designed to multiply parking capacity while remaining easy to install and operate.
Key features- Modular, replicable design: independent modules can be assembled longitudinally to manage dozens or hundreds of cars.
- Self-standing structure: no supporting walls required; columns bolted together and tied by transverse beams.
- Two platforms per module: upper platform (longer) and lower platform (shorter) with slatted, smooth surface and a front wheel stopper for precise vehicle positioning.
- Upper platform length 5.2 m to accommodate standard vehicles; lower platform shorter to allow lateral sliding while still accepting long cars.
- Upper platforms lift vertically on columns via a chain-return system driven by torsion bars and pinions; one torsion bar per module ensures balanced lifting.
- Lower platforms slide laterally using a fixed tooth bar engaged by a pinion on each lower platform; movement actuated by a hydraulic cylinder connected to a chain.
- Cam-activated limit switch stops sliding platforms in the correct position.
- Compact electric motors mounted vertically above the first column of each module; main cables and motors placed on upper beams for easier installation and maintenance.
- Mechanical safety: corner safety locks on each upper platform hook the column rack in case of chain failure; locks are sensor-linked to activate simultaneously and prevent imbalance.
- Doors: one 4-panel door per module (manual or automatic) with galvanized grid panels and anodised aluminium frame; electromechanical door lock released by parking-spot code.
- Traffic-light signalling with three colours (red/green/yellow) and a manual 'close doors' push-button every three modules as a dead-man safety procedure.
- Control: compact electrical panel; touchscreen control can be integrated or mounted separately.
Detailed operational notes- Lower platform sliding: each lower platform has a pinion that engages the longitudinal tooth bar; rotation of the pinion slides the platform sideways.
- Lower platform actuation: hydraulic cylinder located under one side transmits movement via a chain to the pinion.
- Limit switch and cam: a cam moved by the sliding platform triggers a limit switch positioned on the platform to stop it precisely and, if necessary, trigger mechanical safety locks.
- Upper lifting balance: torsion bars above the columns ensure balanced vertical movement of the upper platforms and prevent unbalance during lifting.
- Door sliding and drive: door rail is positioned at the lower part of the frame; the door is driven by galvanized hooks connected to the movement chain and an electric mover mounted beside the rail.
Installation advantages- Self-standing, bolted structure simplifies site requirements and reduces the need for special supporting works.
- Electrical components and motors placed on upper beams reduce ground-level clutter and simplify maintenance access.
- Modular replication enables straightforward capacity expansion where space permits.
