Today, with the increasing shortage of land resources, mechanical parking equipment has become an important solution to the problem of urban parking by virtue of its advantage of efficient use of space. However, safe and standardized use is the key to its effectiveness. Whether it is a car owner or a property manager, understanding the precautions for the use of mechanical parking equipment can effectively avoid risks and extend the service life of the equipment. Next, we will explain to you the 6 core points that must be kept in mind during the use of mechanical parking equipment.
1. Detailed inspection before the vehicle enters
Before driving the vehicle into the mechanical parking equipment, be sure to conduct a comprehensive inspection. First, check whether the vehicle size meets the equipment requirements. Mechanical parking equipment has restrictions on the length, width, height and weight of the vehicle. Taking the common puzzle parking equipment as an example, the height limit is generally 1.55-1.95 meters and the weight limit is 2-2.5 tons. If the vehicle exceeds the limit, forced parking may not only cause equipment failure, but also threaten the safety of the vehicle. Secondly, check the appearance of the vehicle, put away protruding parts such as rearview mirrors and antennas to avoid scratches; at the same time, confirm that there are no leftover items in the car to prevent items from falling during the lifting or moving of the vehicle, causing personal injury or equipment damage.
2. Standardize operation and strictly follow the process
It is very important to park strictly according to the equipment operation process. The owner should carefully read the operation guide and safety tips next to the equipment before parking. After inserting the parking card or entering the parking space number, wait for the equipment to run to the appropriate position, and then drive in slowly. During driving, keep a low speed and straighten the body to avoid colliding with the equipment frame. After the vehicle stops, pull the handbrake, put it in neutral, turn off the engine, remove the key, open the door gently when getting off the car, and confirm that there is no equipment running around before leaving. For property management personnel, regular equipment operation training and familiarity with the location of the emergency stop button and the fault response process are the basis for ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
3. Children and pet management cannot be ignored
There are certain dangers when mechanical parking equipment is running. Be sure to take care of the accompanying children and pets. Children are curious and easy to play in the equipment operation area. Parents should accompany them throughout the process. It is strictly forbidden for children to operate the equipment alone or run and play nearby. Pets may be frightened and run around in an unfamiliar environment. Car owners need to lead their pets when getting off the car to prevent them from rushing into the equipment operation track and causing accidents.
4. equipment maintenance and daily inspections
Regular maintenance is the key to ensure the safe and stable operation of mechanical parking equipment. The property should formulate a detailed equipment maintenance plan, check the chain, wire rope, pulley and other parts of the equipment every month to check whether there is wear, breakage, etc.; test the electrical system and brake device of the equipment every quarter to ensure its sensitivity and reliability. At the same time, keep the equipment clean and clean up the debris in the track in time to prevent foreign objects from affecting the operation of the equipment. If the owner finds that the equipment has abnormal noise, jitter and other abnormalities, he should stop using it immediately and report to the management.
5. special weather countermeasures
Different weather conditions will have different effects on mechanical parking equipment. In heavy rain, check whether the drainage system of the equipment is unobstructed to avoid water accumulation and electrical short circuit; in heavy snow, clean the snow on the equipment in time to prevent the snow from affecting the operation accuracy of the equipment; in windy weather, reinforce the equipment and suspend its use if necessary. In addition, pay attention to the heat dissipation of the equipment in hot weather, and take antifreeze measures for the equipment in low temperature weather to ensure that the equipment can still operate normally in extreme weather.
6. correct handling of emergencies
Mastering the handling methods of emergencies can effectively reduce losses. When a fault occurs during the operation of the equipment, such as the vehicle cannot be lifted or moved normally, do not attempt to repair it without authorization. Press the emergency stop button immediately and contact professional maintenance personnel. In the event of a major accident such as a fire, quickly evacuate the surrounding personnel and activate the fire emergency plan. In normal times, the property can organize emergency drills to improve the emergency handling capabilities of car owners and staff.
While mechanical parking equipment brings us a convenient parking experience, safe use is of paramount importance. Keeping in mind the above 6 precautions, whether it is the standardized operation of the car owner or the scientific management of the property, the mechanical parking equipment can be maximized to provide safer and more efficient protection for urban parking.
