Customized design allows 25 times more cars that can be parked in the same area by having a multiple stacking matrix

Very cost effective and ideal solution to de-congest already choked parking areas

Turnaround time for motorists within 60 seconds to park and retrieve cars

Security guaranteed with computerized system of controlling movements of pallets, lifts and carriers

Six cutting edge solutions launched: lift-sliding system, mini system, plane moving system, aisle stocking system, vertical lifting system and elevators for cars

Dubai, May 29, 2007: A revolutionary multilayer parking system was launched today to ease parking woes of motorists in the UAE. With this pioneering effort, the UAE will be able to accommodate 25 times the number of cars that it can currently park by having a multiple stacking matrix. Besides, due to the automated procedure of parking and retrieval of cars, the turnaround time will be reduced to 60 seconds leaving for more productive time and peace of mind for motorists. 

The world-class, cutting-edge technology was introduced by F Kamber Voltech, an exclusive tie-up between Dubai-based F Kamber Holdings and Asia's largest automated parking system manufacturer Voltech Group. The company introduced a bouquet of six solutions, namely, lift-sliding system, mini system, plane moving system, aisle stocking system, vertical lifting system and elevators for cars. 

Automated multilayer parking system is a new-age technology that enables automated parking and retrieving of cars using a complex computerised system that controls the movements of pallets, lifts and carriers. The moment a motorist leaves his / her car at the entrance of the multilayer parking system, the system automatically takes care of choosing the parking area and transports the vehicle horizontally or vertically to the designated slot. The same procedures are applied for retrieval.

Dr. Wen Haiquan, President of Voltech Group said: "We have successfully installed more than 60,000 parking units for more than 500 clients across the world. Our parking system is a perfect amalgam of world class quality and price. I am sure our multilayer parking system solutions will solve parking problems in the Middle East".  

Mr. Farouk Abdulla Kamber Awazi, Chairman of F Kamber Holdings said: "Middle East countries are predominantly car-economies and local governments have started paying attention to parking problems emerging from the increase in the number of cars. There is tremendous value for governments and large and medium corporations to opt for multilayer parking system solutions. For instance, the use of the automated parking system frees up space for additional offices, accommodation or units to a development, thus increasing the rentable area. Imagine real estate companies's investment being maximized by offering property with dedicated car parking. In addition, the multilayer parking system is also time saving for people to park and retrieve their cars with guaranteed security."

Mr. Tariq Nizami, Chief Executive, F Kamber Holdings explained further: "We estimate that by 2010 the Middle East will have a chronic problem of parking its millions of cars which in any case are currently stranded on the road for non-availability of parking space. For example, in the UAE alone, there has been a significant growth in the registration of new cars in 2006, whereas the overall parking area has not kept pace. At F Kamber Voltech, we are committed to solving the parking problems plaguing most countries through our cutting-edge solutions."

The main benefits of the automated multilayer parking solutions of F Kamber Voltech Group are six-fold: increased rentable areas; minimal changes to existing buildings or integration with new buildings; cost effective construction; motorist friendly secure parking; low maintenance of car parking operations; and, environmental benefits such as reduction of noise, exhaust and other pollutants. All of these put together provide a compelling reason for the UAE and the region to opt for F Kamber Voltech's latest multilayer parking solutions.

The multilayer parking system is widely used in the US, China, Australia and Europe. In the Middle East, where rapidly developing urban areas are struggling to deal with the huge increase in the number of vehicles, this technology is poised to be a much awaited relief in day to day parking frustrations. The product has already received interest from a number of countries in the region, such as Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar.

Alican International, a Dubai-based marketing consultancy company, will be promoting the multilayer parking system for F Kamber Voltech in the Middle East.
