Parking Height Reference

Custom post heights for vehicle clearance

These standard heights are starting points, not fixed limits. AutoMotion can adjust post heights to match your floor-to-floor space, vehicle mix, and clearance needs.

Taller posts create more lower-level clearance. Shorter posts help fit tighter buildings. The goal is to match the system to the vehicles your project needs to park.

Design Note

Lower clearance drives vehicle fit

The lower level is the key clearance point. We can customize the stacker height around your project requirements.

Post Height

Custom post height sets the space under the upper platform.

Lower Clearance

More clearance allows taller vehicles on the lower level.

Vehicle Fit

Match the system to real vehicles, not assumptions.

Planning

Coordinate height early to avoid layout conflicts.
