Cleverly engineered bicycle parking garages by Wöhr create parking facilities in the narrowest of spaces

Making bicycle riding an attractive concept forms an integral part of the federal state and local municipal authority mobility strategies. Be it for traffic and transportation policies or urban development planning, infrastructure developers are keeping a firm eye on bicycle riders. It isn''t only the new bicycle tracks being built practically everywhere but it is also the fact that the bicycles need to be parked that has become just as much a part of the issue. For instance some German federal states have already responded to the new demands on mobility requirements and have already seen to the provision of bicycle parking spaces within their federal state building regulations (LBO).

It is specifically where a good number of bicycles need to be parked, as is the case for railway stations, schools, sports arenas, shopping malls and/or business estates that often there is not enough space available and new solutions need to be provided for.

Automatic bicycle-garage parking system options offering a capacity of up to 128 bicycle parking slots are available in both tower or underground shaft configurations. All the current bicycle models as well as pedelecs having a maximum weight of up to 30 kg can be safely parked with maximised space saving benefits. Parking attendee services are not necessary: the user positions the bicycle onto a special wheel-rail located in the bicycle transfer section and then enters a parking process confirmation via the operating panel. The bicycle is automatically retracted into the parking tower, and the door closes. When it''s time to pick the bicycle back up again, it is delivered directly in drive-out direction within about 16 seconds subsequent to entry by the user of the bicycle retrieval request.
