Are your customers, clients, or residents safely and efficiently parking their vehicles in your parking lot or garage? Looking for ways to increase revenue while diminishing the environmental impact of your facility? A parking system is your best solution. Whether you employ car lifts or a semi- or fully automatic parking system, it can only improve standard parking lot and garage designs. Here are a few good reasons why you should consider a parking system for your property.
Higher Efficiency
A parking lot or garage is a cramped, messy, and highly inefficient place to park cars. It may need to rely on either valets, or leaves the parking to inexperienced drivers who risk accidents while wasting fuel and emitting carbon monoxide and other toxic chemicals into the atmosphere. An automated system handles all the parking without involving human interaction or error. Cars are parked more swiftly and safely and without the potential for fender-benders and traffic jams inside and outside the facility.
More Space
Whether you use car parking lifts or a fully automated system, a parking system makes better use of the space you have. Parking can be provided below the surface of the facility and can be stacked vertically in rows and columns of cars. Parking lots provide only one layer of parking, but a parking system thinks outside of the box, or rather, outside of the lot. This helps to relieve congestion inside and outside the facility as well, and gives a better idea about how much space is left in the place.
Waste Reduction
Automated parking facilities can be some of the greenest buildings around. As mentioned, they help to reduce the amount of driving needed to find a space in a lot. That means less gas burned, which means fewer emissions, which also means cleaner air. Enclosed automated parking facilities also don’t require the HVAC, ventilation, and other environmental controls that regular garages need for drivers’ comfort. They can also be built to reserve and reuse rainwater and provide space for plants to grow, especially on the roof. Solar panels and automated parking facilities also work together beautifully.
Safety
Here's one more reason why you should consider a parking system for your property: safety and security. An automated parking facility is a completely secured structure. Nobody needs to enter it, and nobody can enter it anyway. That means no risk of collisions or pedestrians being hit. It also means that thieves, vandals, and other criminals can’t find their way in in order to break into cars or mug your clients. That helps to keep your insurance premiums down while raising your clientele’s confidence and feelings of safety and security!
