Large Capacity Parking Machine
Shunichi OGURA



This mechanical parking system has a large capacity of pallet-type parking blocks, and has been highly systematized and automated. The system, constructed for Kobe City, has a large capacity of 129 cars, and its quick delivery time is 1 minute and 44 seconds per car. Parking lots are inevitable for motorized city life, and this mechanical parking system is extremely helpful where land for construction is limited such as in Japan. The system should become one of the most useful infrastructures for city development in the future.
