A Little History about the Electric Garage Door Opener

Ever wonder where the electric garage door opener came from?  Believe it or not, it was invented as early as 1926 complements of inventor C.G. Johnson from Hartford City, Indiana. I imagine being from the Midwest he probably came up with it after tiring of having to exit his new Ford Model T Speedster in the hard cold winters to open his manual garage door in several inches of snow.  Having grown up in the automobile capitol myself with a manual garage door, like many, I am grateful for this wonderful creation.

How To Make Your Garage Space The Best Part of The House

There are so many ways that you can use your garage space. Many people, over time, just let items pile up in the garage. It seems like a crazy thing to try to organize it after a while. It is only when people run out of the space in the home that they will consider doing some creative things with the garage.

Transparent Automated Parking Garage

The main problem of drivers in any big city including Moscow is where to park, especially when you are in the centre and there seems to be no free lots for a few decades more. This parking garage can have 34 and even more autos at a time on a space of a bit more than 100 square meters.

The construction is made of metal frame, every wall there is transparent and looks airy. One of the major advantages of the construction is record-breaking terms of building, the project is usually implemented in 30-35 days or so and the site is ready for launching.

Depending on its height (22-28 meters), the tower can have 6-14 levels or floors and provide space for a great deal of cars – from 22 to 54 big and small vehicles. The towers can be easily coupled with other one of the same type, be attached to apartment houses or administrative buildings as well as deepen into the ground for as many floors as it’s needed.


Before getting into the conduction, you (if you are a driver) take a card. An operator can control the parking both on his computer and the sensor screen. You vehicle is lifted on interchanging moving pallets, which are placed on a lifting and lowering gear, which consists of a rectangular platform with a middle circle turning 360 degrees.



On each of the floors there can be four cars at a time, except for the two lower ones – there can be no more than two autos (the first level is for parking off-road vehicles and minivans.) . And that makes sense as on the first level there are located operator rooms, the automated firefighting system and the switchboard room, which provide safety and other important things.


The autos are placed on four sides, and the time for lifting oк lowering a car takes less than 50 seconds. The platform can lift a car weighing up to 2,700 kilos.
