Modern-day society is all about convenience. People want what they want when they want it; waiting around is so last decade. This sentiment applies to parking structures as well. We all know how miserable it is to search for your car in a minefield of other vehicles. That’s why Harding Steel is committed to changing the parking industry. Our automated parking systems make it so much easier for drivers to find their automobiles so they can return to the rest of their day. This article will discuss what types of vehicles work with a parking system so you can determine if the solution is right for you the next time you go out.
Traditional Cars
Parking systems are perfect for traditional two-door and four-door cars. Keep in mind that there are numerous systems that these cars can roll into. Semi-automatic systems require you, the driver, to drive the car into the space. Once the automobile is in the spot, the mechanism will shuffle things around for you.
On the other hand, fully automated parking systems do everything for you. You drive your car up to the platform, and the system will move it into a space itself. The device will even get your car out for you after you identify yourself. You don’t have to worry about your vehicle running out of room or being crowded by other cars because Harding Steel has systems available for projects of all sizes.
SUVs
Some people may be worried that the additional weight of an SUV makes them unsafe for parking structures. This sentiment couldn’t be further from the truth. Harding Steel’s parking systems are incredibly safe and provide a no-slip guarantee, so you don’t have to worry about leaving it in the garage while you’re not there.
Our Wöhr-Levelparker system, for example, is among the safest systems we have. The mechanism is underground, saving property managers tons of space. Using this system, you don’t have to worry about a valet driving your car up a narrow ramp. Instead, the device does everything for you. It will also keep your car away from others to avoid any damage. So, you can rest assured that your SUV will be safe, no matter how long you want to leave it.
Sports Cars
Some people use parking systems to display their sports or luxury cars. These individuals are smart, because it’s the safest option to keep the vehicle scratch-free. For example, the Wöhr Parksafe system operates in a vertical fashion. Drivers simply pull their car into a space and the mechanism then moves the vehicle to the next available spot. Since these devices shoot sky-high, they’re excellent for keeping them safe from theft and other damages that may occur in a ground-level system.
Many individuals with sports cars choose a car loft option that hangs the vehicle from suspenders. This alternative is optimal for those with sports cars because you can still see the vehicle; it’s not packed in with a bunch of others. Anyone who has a sports car collection in their home should consider investing in a loft system from their homes.
Vans
Like SUVs, some people may be hesitant to leave their van in a parking structure. Again, this article should put those worries to bed because Harding Steel’s structures are as safe as can be. Whether you’re using a semi-automatic or automated parking system your van will not go anywhere. These systems are designed to hold thousands of pounds, and the likelihood of accidents occurring is extremely minimal.
Parking systems work to make your life easier. Whether they’re semi-automatic or fully automatic, the systems make it so that you don’t have to go searching for your car in a parking lot anymore. Since they’re designed to work “for the people,” they work with a multitude of vehicles. To start, there are traditional two-door and four-door models that typically go on the bottom of the parking mechanism. The primary reason the bottom is the best spot for them is because they don’t have a high top, so they can have a little more headway on the bottom.
Next, there are vans and SUVs. These cars have higher tops than the traditional car. They also tend to be heavier than conventional models, so people have reservations about leaving their vehicles in these structures. This article has proven that these anxieties need to be put to rest. Harding Steel’s parking mechanisms can withstand a tremendous amount of weight. In addition, we have security measures in place to ensure that nothing moves and that your vehicle stays in one spot. When the automated parking system is in its initial design stages, the parameters as to how many larger bays are available for SUVs and Vans. If the vehicle which you have is too large for the automated parking systems, the system will not allow access for this vehicle.
Finally, parking systems are excellent for sports and luxury cars that don’t want to get ruined. Car lofts are the perfect option for these owners because their vehicle is put on full display. So, you can still see everything while keeping it secure.
Harding Steel wants to revolutionize the parking industry. With our semi-automatic and fully automated systems, we are well on our way to doing so. We understand that property managers may have reservations about installing one of our mechanisms. However, the investment pays off by over tenfold in the end. For starters, our systems help minimize car theft and make parking garages a safer space. Safety is a huge selling point when trying to attract residents to a new area.
Moreover, a previous blog post discussed how parking systems are helping to create more sustainable cities. These devices free up more space for greenery and parks in the community. It’s also important to note that there’s more room for development when you take away giant parking structures. Perhaps the most convincing argument, though, is convenience. Again, people want what they want when they want it. People will be much more likely to visit a facility that takes care of the parking for them. Finally, Harding Steel’s parking structures are ushering in a wave of modernism. Our goal is to help make as many cities as modern and efficient as possible through the field of parking. It all starts with learning what types of vehicles work in a parking system.
