With the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) moving to clear Metro Manila streets of obstructions to relieve traffic, looking for parking (pay or free) may prove to be more difficult in the future. For condo owners, property developers, and even private individuals who want to add more parking spaces, the easiest way is to creatively use the “air space.”

From the same company that makes the revolving Smart Parking system comes the EZ Park Double Stacker. It’s a cost-effective means to increase the available number of parking spaces by, as the name implies, stacking vehicles on top of each other using lifters and platforms.

Currently in use in commercial establishments, offices, and hotels, EZ Park’s Double Stacker system is also great for private homes. Taking just minimal space (two parking slots worth or 32 square meters), it can hold anywhere from 6 to 16 vehicles with weight capacities ranging from 2.3 to 3.6 tons per slot. What’s more, it takes just five days to set-up and this includes calibration, testing, and personnel training.

Used in other developed countries such as Japan, South Korea, Singapore, and the United States, the EZ Park Double Stacker can withstand a Magnitude 8.0 earthquake and wind speeds of up to 250 km/h.

It also comes with a host of safety features such as a manual lock release, hydraulic overload protection, automatic shut-off (operator key switch), and a photocell sensor that can detect obstructions.

The EZ Park Double Stacker is distributed by Emicor, Inc. Interested parties may contact them at +63 2 372 3601 to 05.
