What will you do with the space you create?
Mechanical parking systems provide unique benefits as an alternative to traditional ramp and surface parking.
Automated parking reduces your footprint by eliminating driving and pedestrian lanes and providing dense, efficient storage and retrieval of vehicles.
This added capacity delivers an efficient parking experience, improved quality of life, including green space and reduced internal emissions, and new revenue opportunities to property owners.
All SAPS systems meet ASME B 20.1 v2024 and NFPA 79 v2024 standards.

A Closer Look
With over 4,000 spaces installed, the SAPS team has a wealth of experience to help you understand your choices and invest with confidence.
Chain Puzzle System
The Chain Puzzle system provides -1 to +4 levels of vertical capacity and mechanically transports vehicles vertically and horizontally for storage and retrieval.
Cable Puzzle
The SAPS Cable Puzzle mirrors the adaptability and operation of the Chain Puzzle.
However, the system expands the vertical capacity of the Puzzle configuration: +1 to +7 levels.
In both Chain and Cable puzzle systems, users drive their vehicles into and out of the system and
enter and exit on foot. The system employs safety mechanisms to protect users from potential fall hazards.
Fully Automated
The SAPS Fully Automated System provides a best-in-class user experience and parking density.
This system type is a perfect match to achieve maximum capacity in tight spaces and smooth flow when traffic volume is high.
Dedicated loading zones provide a user-friendly driver experience and forward entrance and exit. Suitable for public or private parking. An attendant is not required.
Tower Systems
The Tower System is a customized, fully automated solution for medium or large developments challenged by limited horizontal space. This approach optimizes available vertical capacity, equipped to handle up to 20 levels.
Tower Systems add a luxury element to residential developments and a high-visibility vertical lift for marketing-savvy auto dealers expanding to a multi-floor showroom.
Drivers enjoy forward entrance and exit.
