A vehicle parking system comprising a parking space and an access way for permitting a vehicle to be driven to and from the parking space, a platform onto and from which at least one vehicle can be driven, the platform being selectively movable between a retracted condition in which it is within the parking space and an extended condition in which it is at least partially out of the parking space, whereby when the platform is in the extended condition it can receive a vehicle driven along the access way to the parking space and when the platform is in the retracted condition a vehicle thereon is stored in a parked condition in the parking space, and the platform being rotatable.
A platform comprising an upper section defining a platform area to receive at least one vehicle and a lower section having wheels in rolling engagement with a surface for movement of the platform relative to the surface, the wheels being operable to permit movement of the platform between two positions on the surface and also rotation of the platform on the surface.
A vehicle parking system comprising a plurality of parking spaces and an access way for permitting vehicles to be driven to and from the parking spaces, a plurality of platforms onto and from which vehicles can be driven, each platform being configured to receive two vehicles in side-by-side relation and to provide a clearance space between the two vehicles, the clearance space providing an access path between the two vehicles, each platform corresponding to a respective one of the parking spaces, each platform being selectively movable between a retracted condition in which it is within the respective parking space and an extended condition in which it is at least partially out of the respective parking space, whereby when the platform is in the extended condition it can receive a vehicle driven along the access way to the parking space and when the platform is in the retracted condition a vehicle thereon is stored in a parked condition in the parking space, at least two of the platforms being operable to register one with respect to another when in the respective retracted conditions whereby the access paths thereon cooperate to define an access passage in the parking system.
