Abstract
A mechanical parking garage includes a plurality of pallets, a parking system including a rail track unit and a plurality of tower units, and a transporting system. Each tower unit is mounted on and slidable along the rail track unit, and has a plurality of first parking spaces, each of which is disposed for storing one of the pallets. The transporting system includes a rail mechanism mounted above the parking system, and a transporting mechanism mounted to the rail mechanism and being horizontally movable. Any adjacent two of the tower units are movable relative to each other between approximate state and a distal state. At the distal state, the adjacent two of the tower units define a transporting aisle therebetween.

A mechanical parking garage comprising:
- a plurality of pallets, each of said pallets being adapted for carrying a vehicle;
- a parking system including
- a rail track unit that is adapted to be mounted on the ground, and
- a plurality of tower units that are mounted on and slidable along said rail track unit, each of said tower units having a plurality of first parking spaces, each of said first parking spaces being disposed for storing one of said pallets;
- and
- a transporting system including
- a rail mechanism that is mounted above said parking system, and
- a transporting mechanism that is mounted to said rail mechanism and that is horizontally movable;
- wherein any adjacent two of said tower units are movable along said rail track unit relative to each other between a proximate state, where said adjacent two of said tower units are proximate to each other, and a distal state, where said adjacent two of said tower units are distal from each other and cooperatively define a transporting aisle therebetween;
- and
- wherein said transporting system is operable to transport one of said pallets into one of said first parking spaces of one of said tower units via said transporting aisle between said one of said tower units and an adjacent one of said tower units.
