MODULO PARKING HOW CAN YOU PARK MORE THAN ONE CAR IN A SINGLE PARKING SPACE? INTRODUCING THE MODULO PLATFORM PARKING SYSTEM The answer to this question is easier than you might think – it’s the Modulo platform parking system. Being a lift, using a hydraulic or electrical system, allows the parking of two or more vehicles in one standard parking spot. Platforms instead of using the horizontal area around, travel vertically, which allows to increase the number of parking spaces and save the surrounding space. It’s both simple and revolutionary and in addition to the invaluable functionality of such a solution, an undoubted advantage is an interesting, slightly futuristic design that underlines the nature of many investments. MODULO parking systems are divided into two groups: dependent and independent platforms. The former are solutions that are used primarily in single-family homes and in places where there is a constant order in leaving the car park, e.g. in small businesses. Independent systems do not require that before leaving the second platform, the former also be empty. They are located mainly in office buildings, hotels or very often in large housing estates, where there must be more than one parking space per apartment. The use of parking platforms is not only convenient but also safe. Each device is equipped with a control panel, which thanks to individual settings guarantee protection against unauthorized activation of the system. Each platform is also equipped with hydraulic and electrical safety devices and an emergency stop switch. Including parking platforms at the investment planning stage is very simple. In the beginning, you can just download .DWG files and technical drawings from the Modulo website and insert them into your project to check know how many and what types of devices would benefit you. After that, you should contact Modulo representatives directly and send architectural project in the form of visualization and cross-section of the building. After initial conversations, “blocks” of the systems in the form of .DWG files are prepared by our designers. The files contain the necessary drawings, with the correct dimensions of the platforms which the architect will need to place the parking platforms in the building plan. It is best to contacts us in the early design phase - this allows the designer to capture all possible “collisions” related to water, sewage and ventilation installations.
