Carstack® Rationale (1/2)
Cities are congested and parking facilities become increasingly rare and valuable in a world that produces ever larger numbers of cars.
As this problem cannot be solved with present day parking solutions, new and innovative ideas are required.
Carstack® Rationale (2/2)
Carstack® is a recently developed, completely automated parking system, that:
Carstack®: The Product Description (1/2)
Carstack® is a completely mechanized and automated lift system, surrounded by a metal frame.
The cylinder shaped parking garage uses very little space: it has a radius of only 92 feet (28 meters).
The outside of the structure can be covered by a variety of materials, like glass, concrete or metal.
Ease and low cost of production are achieved by a high degree of parts standardization and modular construction.
Carstack®: The Product Description (2/2)
Construction period of only four months (not including foundation) through simplicity of design. The facility can be an independent structure or integrated into another building. It is even possible to lower the structure into the ground.
The Carstack® basic 8-layer model houses 124 cars:► L 20 ft x W 8 ft x H 7,2 ft, max 6.500 pounds per car ► L 6 m x W 2,5 m x H 2,1 m, max. 3.200 kg per car
The processing time of a car (or other object) is 50-80 seconds (depending on position and level).

Carstack®: Safety & Security
Carstack® complies with relevant American and European safety and security regulations (e.g. VDI 4466 en EN14010).
All moving parts are constructed with ample safety margins. In addition, electronic components carry a ten year manufacturer’s warranty.
Computer systems and PLC’s have backup systems and emergency power feeds. In case of power failure, generators can provide all the necessary electricity.
By design the system contains all the necessary ingredients to work independently and automatically. In case of emergency, full manual control is also possible.
Carstack®: Safety & Security
Fire alarms and automatic extinguishers offer safety in case of fire.
Liquids spilling from cars (water, oil, snow etc.) are collected for environmentally friendly removal.
Except for maintenance, no people need to enter the facility, thereby guaranteeing safety of cars and drivers.
Carstack®: Competition
Despite the enormous size of the global parking market, there is very little competition in the field of automated parking systems
Other existing systems are complex and expensive. Carstack® distinguishes itself through a high degree of standardization of components and a lift system that transports objects with very few movements.
Carstack® of Philadelphia Strategic Plan
