Mechanical garage has a development history of 100 years. 1905, a mechanical garage with similar plane motion was built in France. 1925, a four-story elevator garage was built in a hotel on Washington West Street in Chicago, USA. China began to develop three-dimensional parking equipment from 1984, the first mechanical garage with 68 parking spaces on two floors was built in 1988, and the first vertical circulating garage with 26 parking spaces was built in 1992.

There are nine types of mechanical garages, including lifting and traversing-PSH, vertical circulation-PCX and horizontal circulation.

—PSX, multi-layer circulation —PDX, plane motion —PPY, road stacking —PXD, vertical lifting —PCS, simple lifting —PJS, and special lifting for automobiles —PQS. Based on nine types, mechanical three-dimensional parking garages can be divided into automatic parking garages and duplex parking garages.

Comparing the garage development data over the years, it can be seen that the development of mechanical three-dimensional parking garages was relatively slow before 2004, and the total number of mechanical garages in 20 16 reached 4.089 million, and it reached 8.34 million in 2022. At present, the production and sales volume of mechanical garages in China ranks first in the world. We have seen many foreign garage videos, and most of the garage equipment is also produced and sold by China enterprises. At present, there are 82.0 1% garages with lifting and traversing, and this trend is the largest in the world, accounting for more than 60% in Japan, as well as vertical lifting garages and plane moving garages. With the popularization of automatic garage technology, the lifting and traversing garage developed steadily after 20 18, and the proportion decreased last year.

According to domestic mainstream parking media reports, 33% of mechanical garages in the first quarter of 2020 will be used for public construction projects. Many government public garage projects have certain requirements for the quality, efficiency and overall commercial facilities of garages. In the later period, the plane mobile garage and vertical lifting garage with high vehicle capacity and high intelligence will be the mainstream models used in public construction projects. In addition, since 20 15, due to the improvement of technology and the promotion of new media, the vertical recycling garage began to show a leap-forward growth and regained the favor of the public.
