The article presents information about the most common car parking systems based on the use of mechanized equipment. The author highlights key design features of these types of systems.

The article covers a comparative performance analysis of ordinary parking lifts and rotary parking lifts, taking into consideration calculation of expenditures: purchasing and installation per one parking place. Two types of parking lifts were considered: a rotary parking lift and a parking lift with two cabins. Main stages of their operation were emphasized. Based on the results of this work, conclusions re efficient use of rotary parking lift were made.

Presented here is the procedure for determining cases of most unfavorable combination of loads upon load-carrying metalwork of a new design of rotary /car/ parking system - rotary /car/ parking lift. This procedure was set out within the framework of thesis suggesting optimization methods of the said metalwork design. In accordance with this procedure using Pro/Engineer program, cases of most unfavorable combination of loads for a particular design of load-carrying metalwork of rotary /car/ parking lift were determined and relevant information concerning loading of its components under different combinations of loads was made available.
