Carousel Parking System

Maximize parking. Minimize space.

Park up to 16 sedans or 14 SUVs in approximately the footprint of just two conventional parking spaces.

Automated How it works

A Ferris Wheel for Vehicles. More Parking in the Space of Two Cars.

Parkmatic’s Carousel Parking System moves vehicles vertically, much like a Ferris wheel, while occupying approximately the footprint of two parking spaces. Each vehicle is retrieved directly at ground level, making the system well suited to properties where parking space is limited. With the site properly prepared and conditions in place, installation can be completed in less than eight days.

Operation is simple and user-friendly. The driver selects an assigned parking number using a keypad, access fob, or optional mobile app. The system then automatically rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, choosing the shortest route to retrieve the vehicle.

Optional EV charging can be integrated into the system, allowing electric vehicles to charge while parked.

Our rotary systems are available in multiple configurations for sedans, SUVs, or a combination of vehicle sizes. Each system can be customized to suit the property’s capacity, available footprint, architectural design, and operational requirements.
