The two-level dependent parking system is the simplest and most affordable solution for doubling parking capacity. The principle is straightforward - the upper platform is raised hydraulically to allow a second vehicle to park underneath. This way two parking spaces fit in the space of one, which is especially valuable in an urban environment with limited area.
These systems do not require complex infrastructure, special foundations or significant construction changes. They can be installed in existing garages, underground parking lots and open-air parking areas with sufficient ceiling height (minimum 3.6 metres for standard passenger cars).
The system uses a reliable hydraulic drive with two synchronised cylinders, ensuring even lifting of the upper platform. The hydraulic power unit is compact and can be mounted to the side of the structure without taking up additional parking space. Raising and lowering of the platform is controlled with a key-button, with the entire cycle taking only 30-50 seconds.
The system includes mechanical locking pins that fix the platform in the upper and lower positions, preventing uncontrolled movement. The hydraulic system is equipped with a check valve, guaranteeing that the platform is held in place even if the system loses pressure.
In residential buildings, the dependent parking system is an ideal solution for families with two cars and one parking spot. The investment is significantly lower than purchasing a second parking space, and installation can be completed within a single day without major construction work. The system is especially popular in the new residential complexes in Sofia and other large cities.
For owners of private garages, the two-level system allows two vehicles to be parked in a garage designed for one. The compact dimensions and minimal requirements for the structure make installation possible in most standard garages with a ceiling height of 3.6 metres. The hydraulic power unit runs on a standard single-phase 220V supply.
In office buildings with a limited number of parking spaces, the dependent parking system doubles capacity without the need to expand the parking lot. It is convenient for companies where employees arrive and leave at approximately the same times, minimising the inconvenience of dependent access.
In commercial areas and hotels, the system solves the problem of parking shortages during peak hours. The additional spaces are used for staff or for long-term parking of guests, while the main level remains free for short-term access.
