With the increasing number of vehicles owned by citizens, the problem of parking difficulties in the urban area of Jiangmen City is becoming increasingly prominent. Faced with insufficient parking space in the unit parking lot and limited parking spaces, the Agricultural Bank of China Jiangmen Branch has adopted the method of expanding into the air. The 5-storey high stereo garage, which the bank invested more than 1.5 million yuan to build, has been put into use recently to provide parking spaces for employees. The practice of building a stereo garage is not common in our city at present, and it has positive significance for alleviating the problem of parking difficulties in the urban area.
The professional name of this stereo garage is the lifting and transverse moving stereo parking equipment, with a width of 21 meters, a depth of 6.5 meters, a height of 11 meters, a steel structure, a total of 5 floors, and a roof with a canopy. It can accommodate 36 cars in total. At the request of the reporter, the garage operator took out a parking card and demonstrated on the spot the parking of a vehicle. He drove a small car into an empty parking space on the first floor of the stereo garage, pressed the button on the garage control panel, and could park the car at any empty parking space at the desired height, while the transverse and vertical movements of the car carrier plate were completely automatic. Parking a car takes no more than 2 minutes. Moving a car from a top level to the ground floor is also done automatically through the garage control panel, taking no more than 2 minutes, making it very convenient to operate. In addition, the garage is equipped with a charging facility for charging electric vehicles parked here.
In order to strengthen the vehicle parking management of the stereo garage, the Jiangmen Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China has also formulated the "Interim Measures for Vehicle Parking Management" and the Office of the bank serves as the department responsible for the daily operation, maintenance and management of vehicle parking and the garage, ensuring the safety and orderly use of parking spaces and improving the efficiency of parking spaces.
It is understood that the problem of parking difficulties has plagued the employees of the Jiangmen Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China for many years. Previously, some employees drove to work at the unit and, due to a lack of parking spaces, had to park their cars nearby and then walk a few hundred meters to return to work. Now, with the stereo garage, the bank's employees no longer need to find parking spaces nearby, and the parking spaces in front of the unit can be vacated for customer use, bringing parking convenience to customers who come to do business."With the stereo garage, not only are our employees able to park conveniently, but they also no longer occupy public parking spaces nearby, thereby creating space for the public to park, and also contributing to alleviating the problem of parking difficulties in Jiangmen City," said Huang Jiancheng, Director of the Office of the Jiangmen Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China.
