The increase in the number of high-rise buildings is a common feature of most cities. There is limited space to work with, and every investor must find a way of maximising profits from their real estate assets. In most cases, challenges crop up when you need to allocate space for standard utilities like parking slots. Your tenants should access the tens to hundreds of such parking slots easily and without any snarl-ups. Indeed, one way you can ensure this is by installing car elevators to ease the movement of vehicles. If this is the first time you have thought about this, here is a piece that will guide your ideas and teach you the basics:

The Advantages of Car Elevators

Car elevators come with several benefits for the user. The critical ones here include the following: 

They save time — One thing car elevators help you achieve is saving the time you would have sued to direct traffic. The motorists simply drive into the lift compartment and select their preferred parking floor, and the elevator does the rest. It is more efficient than having motorists driving through meandering pavements before parking. 

They are durable — Car elevators are a durable investment that will stand the test of time. Typically, the best models have heavy load capacities and low average speeds, allowing them to handle the tough working conditions. They are engineered from toughened steel components to guarantee a long service life. 

They allow you to save space — Modern car elevator designs can help you save space. For example, you can go for miniaturised motors with a counterweight system. Such designs house the lift's machinery within the shaft rather than a separate compartment requiring more space. 

The Features to Look For

Making the most of your car elevator installation requires you to have a few tricks up your sleeve. First, choose a car elevator that can support various emergency response features. For instance, the elevator can have a reasonable power reserve to move the elevator to a suitable floor elevation and swing the doors open in case of a power outage. Second, remote call sends should also be available for users to communicate with elevator operators during emergencies. Third, a good car elevator should have auto-vertical, bi-parting car and landing doors. They guarantee safe operation without taking up lots of space. Other features include a stainless steel can for corrosion resistance and in-cab signals to show the motorist where to stop.
