Tandem Mechanical Parking Garage

A tandem mechanical parking garage is a type of multi-level parking structure that uses a mechanical lift system to store vehicles in a compact and efficient manner. It is designed to maximize the use of available space by stacking cars on top of each other.

In a tandem mechanical parking garage, cars are typically parked on metal trays or platforms that are lifted and lowered by a mechanical system. The platforms are arranged in a vertical stack, with each platform being able to move independently of the others. When a car needs to be parked or retrieved, the appropriate platform is raised or lowered to the desired level using an elevator-like mechanism.

Tandem mechanical parking garages are often used in urban areas where space is limited and traditional parking lots or garages are not feasible. They can also be used in residential or commercial buildings where parking space is at a premium.

It's worth noting that while tandem mechanical parking garages can be very efficient in terms of space utilization, they can also be relatively expensive to install and maintain compared to traditional parking structures. Additionally, the process of retrieving a car from a stacked position can take longer than in a traditional garage, so users may need to plan accordingly.
