Today, with land resources becoming increasingly tight, multi-storey car parks have become an effective solution to the problem of "difficult parking". Whether it is real estate developers, property management companies or individual property owners, there are always many questions in their minds when considering the construction of multi-storey car parks. Based on years of customer feedback, we have summarized the following issues of concern and will answer them one by one for you.
Q: What are the main types of multi-storey car parks? Which one is the most suitable for my residential area or shopping mall?
Answer: The mainstream types on the market include: lifting and horizontal moving type: It is the most widely used, has a high cost performance, and is highly adaptable to various sites, making it very suitable for residential communities and basements of shopping malls. It accesses and retrieves vehicles by the lifting and lateral movement of the vehicle loading plate. Simple lifting type: Low cost, suitable for one household with two parking Spaces, villas or places with limited space. The drawback is that the upper vehicle can only be retrieved after the lower vehicle has driven away. Flat movement/vertical lifting type (intelligent warehouse) : Fully automated, convenient for storing and retrieving vehicles, and provides a good user experience. However, it is relatively expensive and requires a large construction area, and is often used in public parking lots and commercial centers. Selection suggestion: A comprehensive assessment should be made based on parking space requirements, site conditions, budget and user groups.
Q: What are the requirements for civil construction and floor height when installing a multi-storey car park?
Answer: This is one of the most crucial questions. The floor height directly determines the type of garage that can be built. Two-story basement lift and horizontal movement: This is the most common addition scheme, requiring a clear height of ≥3.6 meters. The height requirements for a regular garage: Taking the most common type of lift and transfer garage as an example, when parking cars, the height of floors 2 to 6 should be no less than 1.75 meters. If an SUV is parked, it should be at least 2.1 meters. Load-bearing capacity and foundation: For the second and third floors, no separate foundation is required for lifting and horizontal movement. A cement board with a thickness of 200mm and a strength of C30 is sufficient. For those with more than four floors and those with planar movement, a stronger load-bearing foundation is required.
Q: What materials do we need to provide to build a multi-storey car park?
Answer: The customer is required to provide: 1. CAD version drawings of the construction area, which should clearly show the positions and heights of obstacles such as walls, columns, and pipelines. 2. Specific requirements: The number of parking Spaces needed, the types of vehicles to be stored (such as sedans, SUVs), and the size range.
Q: Is there a charge for the design plan?
Answer: Completely free of charge. A professional garage company will, based on the drawings and requirements you provide, offer free scheme design and quotation.
Q: On average, how long does it take to store and retrieve a vehicle?
Answer: The time varies for different types of garages: For lift and traverse types, the average access time is approximately 35 to 120 seconds. Simple lifting type: Access the vehicle within 50 seconds. Planar movement class (intelligent library) : The average time is approximately 120 seconds.
Q: How is safety guaranteed? What specific measures are there?
Answer: Safety is the lifeline of a multi-storey car park. Take the lifting and horizontal movement as an example. It has more than 20 safety devices, including: anti-fall device (patented lever type or anti-fall hook), emergency stop switch, photoelectric detection for misentry of people and vehicles, over-limit protection, loose rope/broken chain detection, anti-scratch wheel design, etc.
Q: What should be done in case of malfunction or accident?
Answer: A legitimate company will offer a comprehensive emergency response mechanism: 1. Multiple electrical and mechanical protections to prevent accidents to the greatest extent. 2. The equipment supports manual adjustment and the vehicle can be removed in case of power failure or malfunction. 3. We provide professional maintenance services. In case of emergency malfunctions, maintenance personnel promise to handle the situation as soon as they receive the message.
Q: What should be done about the later maintenance and repair? How is it charged?
Answer: Warranty period: Usually 1 to 2 years of free maintenance. Post-warranty charges: Paid maintenance services are provided after the warranty period. The cost varies depending on the type of equipment.
Q: How long is the service life of the equipment?
Answer: The design service life of the main structure of a multi-storey car park can reach 40 years. During this period, a major overhaul is required approximately every ten years to replace vulnerable parts such as steel wire ropes, chains, and electrical components.
Q: What is the overall process and payment method?
Answer:The standard process is as follows: consultation → free scheme design → on-site survey → contract signing → production → installation → acceptance and handover → after-sales service.
