Puzzle Parking System

Smart. Scalable. Independently accessible.

A flexible lift-and-slide parking system customizable to suit almost any site.

Automated How it works

Moves Pallets Horizontally and Vertically to Create Access

Parkmatic’s Puzzle Parking System is designed to maximize parking capacity while providing convenient access to each parking position. The system uses a combination of horizontal and vertical pallet movement to position vehicles at ground level for entry and retrieval.

The pallet mechanism moves left, right, up, and down, using at least one empty space to create a clear path for vehicle movement. This lift-and-slide configuration allows vehicles to be stored efficiently while making effective use of limited space.

The system can be configured up to four levels high and may include one underground pit level, depending on site conditions and project requirements. Its modular design provides flexibility for new construction, renovations, residential developments, commercial properties, and other applications where conventional parking is limited.
