What is stacked parking?

Parking cars more than one deep, by attendants or on mechanical lifts, and what Parken Lot can and cannot record about it.

Stacked parking means parking cars more than one deep, either in rows that attendants rearrange or on mechanical lifts that hold one car above another. It fits more cars into the same area, at the cost of drivers not being able to leave on their own. It is most common in dense city buildings and valet operations, where space is scarcer than staff time.

What stacked parking needs

  • Somebody to move cars, or a lift that the driver or an attendant operates.
  • A way to hold keys, where attendants move the cars.
  • Clear rules about retrieval times and who is responsible for a car while it is being moved.

In Parken Lot

Parken Lot has no stacked-parking type and does not track keys, attendants or retrieval. If each lift platform or stacked position is something you let to a particular person, you can add it as a numbered space of its own, and it then has its own permit and price like any other.
