Multi storey car park: A robotic parking solution for parking and storing cars.

The inclined plane is the type of simple machine most popular to lift objects to a direction desired by the user. The amount of energy used to lift and object is lesser with the aid of an inclined plane than by just lifting alone. In many applications we find inclined lifting consume lesser energy than vertical lifting. Therefore inclined conveyance is more economical. In case of the car owner  prefer not to drive the car in to the parking lot, this system adopts pallet trucks to bring the car in to the desired parking lot and then bring back to the customer.

This elevated car parking system is

• less complicated, 

• lesser maintenance and operational cost,

• Lesser construction cost

This elevated parking system having a hoist way, comprise of rails held on two structural beams at same inclination, connected with the building structure. Therefore the elevator travels along the rail track extending though multiple of parking floors between top most and the lowest parking floor including the loading station.
The elevator is driven on wheels along rails, so that, the weight of the elevator and load will be distributed on rails, while the elevator is driven due to traction imparted by the cables secured to the top of the elevator.
While the elevator that carries the car is ascending by the traction motor, counter weight is descending in an unwinding pulley driven by the same motor. The counter weight is placed in the same inclination along another parallel railing system.

The elevator platform is maintained in horizontal position, for the automobiles to drive in and out the elevator by the driver, when it reaches the designated floor. A close tolerance is maintained between the elevator platform sill and the sill of open space of the floor in hoist way at any floor, serving as a drivable access to parking spaces on the required floor.

Pallet trucks are used to transport automobiles to parking lots when car owner want to leave the car for parking staff to store. Car is loaded to pallet truck ( Fork lift) at the receiving station and the car loaded on pallet truck is brought on car lifting trolley to leave the the car at designated parking lot.

With inclined conveyance you are getting the advantage of pulling over lifting!
