Mechanical parking systems are becoming more and more popular in Beijing
In many cities in China,parking spaces are not enough for more and more motor vehicles. Stereo parking garages have become a good solution for relieving the parking difficulties of these cities due to their space expansion up or down.
In Beijing, many stereo parking garages have been built. Let's see how they solve the parking difficulties of cars in Beijing.
Underground storage-type stereo parking garage--
Tanjian Lake district is located in crowded area of Beijing, and its underground six-storey parking garage was built in 2002. This parking garage has solved the parking trouble of residents in this district. In the daytime, about 70% of its parking spaces are utilized and 100%is utilized at nights.The whole car parking time is only 2 minitues.
Ruishi Hotel in Beijing also adopts an underground stereo parking garage, its parking charge is RMB6 Yuan per hour, while the parking charge at the roadside is RMB15 Yuan, so the parking charge of stereo garage is relatively lower than that of traditional parking service.
Many stereo parking garages above the ground have been built in Beijing. For example, the stereo parking garage of Beijing Air Force General Hospital is standing like a giant wheel. Once a parking space is required, the nearest parking space will fall to ground, and the car will be lifted in air like a "hanging basket".
In addition, other types of stereo parking garages have been built in Beijing, for example, simple self-driving parking garage, etc.
Now, Beijing Government provides an allowance of 2,000 Yuan for each new parking space, and allows at least RMB150 Yuan of monthly charge for each space in stereo garage.
