he beauty of the AUTOSPACE system is that it takes such a small footprint that it can fit into almost any site. Just 550 square feet of ground space is needed for every 22-car MPS, and the total volume of space is 40% less than would be required by a standard ramp garage for the same number of cars. The AUTOSPACE Mechanical Parking System eliminates the time-consuming tasks of driving through the various floors of a garage to find a parking space and then later returning to upper floors to retrieve the car. Gone also is the possibility of getting dings and scratches since the car is completely isolated on its platform.
