More Vehicles Increase the Need for Parking Spaces
There is a growing need worldwide for more affordable, readily accessible parking spaces. This is due to increasing populations with large numbers of vehicles being produced and sold. Whenever a vehicle is produced, the need for a parking space is produced as well. Vehicles are built at a much higher rate than parking spaces are created and going forward will cause parking issues to escalate quickly.
Although Canada doesn't immediately come to mind as a country that would have parking issues, some of the more its more populated cities are already experiencing noticeable reductions in available parking. While these problems are not as evident as the issues that other countries are facing (such as China), they still serve as a wake-up call that the parking industry needs to change if it is to keep up with the growing demand for parking spaces.
The parking industry in Canada as we know it now is quite unimaginative and inefficient. The standard model of "one vehicle to one parking space” is rarely challenged and is the one on which most parking structures are built. Previously there was never a need to challenge this parking model because it worked well as long as there was a lot of available area that could be used for parking lot or garage. This is no longer the case due to a reduction in available space.
A Better Way to Park
Years of technological breakthroughs, application of scientific principles and revolutionary designs have led to a fleet of parking solutions that will literally change the way the world parks. These new solutions are essentially car lifts that allow vehicles to be parked vertically on top of each other on platforms.
The ability to park vertically adds an entirely new dimension to the regular two-dimensional parking methods that are most commonly in use today. This extra dimension allows these new car-lift parking solutions to be far superior in terms of parking efficiency. More vehicles can be parked in much less area which goes a long way towards helping to alleviate the problem of finding large available plots of land to be used for parking.
The advanced and versatile designs of these car-lift systems means that there is a system available that can be used to address every parking scenario. The most typical of these scenarios are:
The extensive lineup of innovative parking solutions can just as easily double the amount of available parking in a driveway as they can provide parking for an entire condominium building.
Types of Car-Lift Systems
The most popular types of car lift systems available today are:
-
Stack Parkers
-
Fully Automatic Parkers
-
Semi-Automatic Parkers
-
Puzzle Lifts
These parking systems all rely on hydraulic motors to lift the vehicles and enable them to be parked vertically. The adoption of these systems make traditional parking methods outdated and terribly inefficient in comparison and will help to ensure that parking in Canada does not become a national concern.
