Over the l as t 50 yea rs , Whr has p rov ided ove r 30 0 ,000 pa rk ing spaces fo r p ro j ec ts across Europe ,

As ia, Aus t ra l i a and Amer i ca .

From the companys original double-stacking systems, our range has now grown to include Parklift two and three level

systems, Combilift semi-automatics, lateral and longitudinal sliding platforms and our state of the art, fully automatic systems.

Our ongoing investment in product development has led to a number of recent product launches, including the Parklift 421three level dependent stacking system and Combilift 553 and 554 semi automatic systems with 3 or 4 levels both feature

in this brochure. Also showcased are a number of completed projects which demonstrate the benefits of mechanical parking

systems in brownfield developments not least their ability to significantly increase parking densities whilst reducing both

construction and landfill costs.

For more details about any of the systems, projects or support material, please contact our technical team on

With a wide range of height, width and weight

options, Parklift 421 provides dependent parking

for vehicles up to 2.6 tonnes (therefore

accommodating most modern SUVs and 4x4s).

A high density, dependent system, Parklift 421 is

ideally suited for public parking areas where

attendant or valet support is provided forexample offices, airports and other car storage

applications.

A datasheet for the Parklift 421 is now available.

These systems, with independent access to all spaces, do

not require the services of a valet parking attendant.

Previously the Combilift 551 provided only 2 levels of parking.

Now, with four levels of parking and by using a combination

of lift and slide technology, Combilift 554 creates nearly 3

times more spaces than could be conventionally achieved.

The units are available with a range of height (up to 2.1m),

width (up to 2.7m) and weight (up to 2.6t) options.

Datasheets are available for these new models. You can also

All Parklifts and Combilifts are now available in an extendedrange of weight options including 2.0 tonne and 2.6 tonne.

Special versions of Parklift 440 are available with a 3.2 tonne

capacityfor example, for Maybach and Rolls-Royce cars.

Pl a t f o rm W i d th s u p t o 2 .7 m

In addition, the ranges feature extensive height and width

options, allowing each specification to be tailored to meet the

precise needs of individual projects. All Parklift and Combilift

systems are available with platform widths up to 2.7m.

With special options also available (for example for disabled

access, which requires platform widths of 3.5m) the range

includes a solution for all parking requirements.

Cont ro l Pane l

For extra user convenience, all Combilift units now have key-

pad operation, replacing the coded key function that has

previously been utilised.

The new control panels

are easier to use,

eliminate the risk from

lost or stolen keys,

reduce risk of

breakages and provide

a more efficient

system for users.

I nc reased range o f doo r op t ions

The range of Combilift door options has also been extended,

with two new variants now available. In areas where

increased security is required, high strength pressed steeldoors are now available. Alternatively, open mesh doors

may still be specified where required.

This residential project has created 49 contemporaryapartments in a building originally built in 1865. The

developer required an independent parking solution to increase

the number of spaces that could be offered to potential buyers.

Due to structural constraints, no pits could be excavated butsome additional headroom was available. The structural steel

grid of the parking system effectively sits behind the large brick

pillars in the basement parking area.

Utilising a Combilift 551 (2 level) semi automatic system, an

additional 24 parking spaces have been provided (only 9 could

be createdconventionally),

making full use of

the available spaceand headroom.

Combilifts utilise

lateral sliding and

vertical stackingtechnologies.

Working closely with the

developer, Whr supplieda fully automatic parkingsystem for this 1858

buildingretaining the

existing front faade whilstthe internal building structure

was completely rebuilt.

The solution delivers a completely modern parking solutionwith 84 spaces provided over 10 levels of parking. The above

ground tower system slotted into a narrow gap between

buildings. Utilising a very narrow access aisle, the drive-through system incorporates separate entry and exit garages.

Users simply leave and collect their vehicles from a transfer

point, with all parking and retrieval carried out automatically

by the Parksafe system.

The owners of a private house in central London wantedto increase their parking provision within the property

boundariesrather than leaving vehicles on the road.

Given the particularly narrow courtyard, a Whr 461 unit

was installed; effectively allowing two cars to be parkedin the footprint of just a single vehicle.

The upper level of the unit may be completed in

materials to blend with adjacent landscapingblock

paving, grass etc, and can then be parked on.

Other options are available for 2 or 3 levels of parking

below ground (Parklift 462 and 463).

This stunning mixed use development in the heart of

Birmingham required a fully automatic solution to provide 55

parking spaces for the owners of apartments situated abovethe Radisson Hotel.

With narrow and limited

site access, a Multiparker

740 system with 5 levels

of parking below ground

was specified, providing48 spaces for vehicles up

to 1.6m and an additional7 for vehicles up to 2.0m

high.

A single garage used to

enter and exit the systemalso incorporates a turning

device so vehicles are

correctly positioned whenexiting on to the main

street close to the Hollo-

way Circus roundabout.

Conventional multi-storeyparking solutions would

have required at least

twice the volume todeliver the same number

of parking spaces.

In this new waterfront development, site conditionsprevented the provision of multi levels of basement parking.

A high water table meant that the required depth of

excavation would be prohibitive. 3 levels of conventional

basement would have been necessary to provide sufficientparkingtaking into consideration the need to provide

driving ramps, which would potentially take up important

parking area.

Whr Parklift 440 vertical stacking systems (2 levels)

provide 130 spaces from one basement level. All spaces

have independent access, with the clear headroom requiredabove the driving aisle only 3.25m and a pit depth of

1.7m.

This solution not only delivers the required number of

spaces, but also significantly reduces both the costs ofconstruction and landfill.
