Misco SkyParks

Misco has formed a relationship with SkyParks, the world’s leading company in the field of mechanised or robotic parking.

Automated parking is a method of automatically parking and retrieving cars typically using a computerised system of pallets, lifts and carriers. As the system removes the need for driveways and ramps, the floor area and the volume of the parking station itself can be more efficiently used.

For the driver, the process is very simple. They park their car at an entrance point then leave the vehicle. From there, the car is automatically moved through the parking system. It is returned to the driver in the same fashion using a signalling device (similar to a credit card) or for a public car park a ticket and payment system in a designated waiting zone. Turnaround times are very short, an average of 2.5 minutes per vehicle.

Automated parking systems can be designed to fit above or below ground, allowing for flexible usage of land space; this means the scheme footprint can be reduced to one-third of the land required by conventional car parking solutions. Cost-effective on a number of fronts, automated parking also offers significantly improved service to the customer.
