Lift-type car park

摘要

Disclosed is a lift-type car park for removably storing a plurality of wheeled motor vehicles. The lift platform has a telescoping transport device mounted thereon. The lift platform can be brought level with a transfer area and the telescoping transport device can be extended adjacent the wheels of the motor vehicle to be parked. Guide rollers can then be swung out from the telescoping transport device to movably engage the wheel such that when the telescopic transport device is retracted onto the platform the motor vehicle is pulled onto the lift platform as well. The lift platform can then be moved to any one of a number of storage locations and the reverse operation takes place in which the motor vehicle is placed in a storage space. As a safety feature, in the area where a car is initially picked up prior to storage or deposited after storage, the telescoping transport device extends into a tunnel which serves as a walkway for vehicle occupants protecting them from the telescoping transport device and the guide rollers mounted thereon.
