ABSTRACT:
A vehicle parking garage has a plurality of storage areas arranged in a vertical column and a passageway beside the column in communication with the storage areas. Each storage area has associated therewith a storage member adapted to receive and contain a pallet. Each storage member has a storage position within a storage area and a loading position within the passageway and is adapted to move laterally between its storage and loading positions. A pair of spaced vertical track sections are mounted to each storage member and extend partially into the passageway when the storage members are in their storage positions with the track sections of adjacent storage members aligning vertically to define a pair of vertically extending tracks within the passageway. Each pallet is adapted to move vertically within the passageway when its associated storage member is in its loading position and includes pairs of spaced track followers that couple with the vertically oriented tracks to maintain the pallet in a substantially fixed horizontal orientation within the passageway. A cable system selectively moves a storage member to its loading position, lowers its pallet to the bottom of the passageway for loading, raises the loaded pallet back into its storage member and moves the storage member back to its storage position for storage.
