Intelligent multi-storey car park

As urban vehicle ownership continues to grow, parking space shortages have become an increasingly pressing issue. Intelligent multi-storey car parks have emerged as an effective solution, gaining widespread adoption in recent years. From lift-and-slide types to alley stacker types, from vertical circulation to horizontal movement systems, all types of parking equipment rely on high-performance wheels for their operation.

Hanke's polyurethane wheels provide low-noise, high-stability drive solutions for intelligent multi-storey car parks, enhancing equipment operation efficiency and user experience. Our products have been validated in applications with multiple parking equipment manufacturers, effectively reducing operational noise and extending maintenance intervals.

1. Polyurethane Wheels for Lifts

The lift is the core vertical transport component of a multi-storey car park, responsible for moving vehicles from the entry level to the designated parking level. The smoothness and noise level of lift operation directly impact the user's parking experience.

Key Requirements for Lift Wheels

Hanke Recommended Lift Products

Polyurethane Lift Guide Wheels

- Saxflex compound (75 Shore A) for extremely low operating noise
- Precise guidance ensures stability of the lift platform during vertical travel
- Smooth tread for low friction resistance on guide rails
- Will not damage rail surfaces, extending rail service life

Polyurethane Lift Load Wheels

- High load capacity, with each wheel capable of supporting over 2 tons
- Available in Eamflex high-wear compound or Saxflex low-noise compound
- Flange or keyway mounting options to suit different installation methods

2. Polyurethane Wheels for Transfer Cars

In alley stacker and horizontal movement type car parks, transfer cars are responsible for moving vehicles horizontally, transporting them from the lift to parking spaces or retrieving them from storage.

Key Requirements for Transfer Car Wheels

Hanke Recommended Transfer Car Products

Polyurethane Transfer Car Drive Wheels

- Compact flanged design saves installation space
- High load capacity suitable for all passenger cars and SUVs
- Eamflex compound provides excellent wear resistance and service life
- Wheel diameter range: 100 – 250 mm

Polyurethane Transfer Car Driven Wheels

- Used in conjunction with drive wheels for stable movement
- Low rolling resistance design
- Available with swivel castor options for different travel paths

3. Polyurethane Wheels for Pallet Carriers

In lift-and-slide type car parks, pallet carriers support vehicles and move horizontally on transfer rails. The performance of pallet carrier wheels directly affects the smoothness of vehicle entry and retrieval.

Key Requirements for Pallet Carrier Wheels

Hanke Recommended Pallet Carrier Products

Polyurethane Pallet Carrier Wheels

- Optimized polyurethane contact surface for reduced rolling resistance
- Metal hub available with galvanized or Dacromet surface treatment for rust resistance
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Customizable wheel diameter and width to match pallet structure

4. Why Multi-Storey Car Parks Need Polyurethane Wheels

Noise Control is Critical

For car parks, especially those located in residential complexes or commercial centers, noise is one of the most common sources of user complaints. The inherent elasticity of polyurethane material effectively absorbs vibration and impact during operation, reducing noise by 5-10 dB compared to direct metal-to-rail contact.

Extending Equipment Maintenance Cycles

Parking equipment manufacturers face pressure to reduce total lifecycle costs. The high wear resistance of Hanke polyurethane wheels provides significantly longer service life than ordinary rubber or metal wheels, reducing replacement frequency and maintenance downtime.

Adapting to Diverse Environmental Conditions

Multi-storey car parks may be located indoors, outdoors, or underground, with varying temperature, humidity, and dust conditions. Polyurethane offers more stable performance across different environments compared to rubber, providing more reliable long-term operation.
