Transfer Carriages for Parking Systems

Reliable Transfer Car Solutions for Automated Parking Systems

Sotefin designs and develops high-performance transfer carriages that stand out for their reliability, efficiency, and technological innovation.Recognized as the flagship product of our company, the transfer carriage is the core component of any automatic parking system. Unlike solutions based on pallets or intermediary elements, our carriages interact directly with the vehicle, transporting it smoothly between the entry/exit areas and the designated parking space.Over the years, we have engineered several generations of transfer carriages that have set new benchmarks in the sector. Below is an overview of our most advanced solutions, each representing a key milestone in the evolution of this technology.

Silopark™ – Ultra-compact transfer carriage

Silopark™ was the first transfer carriage designed by Sotefin, marking a milestone in the company’s history and laying the foundation for decades of innovation.
It is an ultra-compact transfer carriage designed to lift vehicles from the front and move them between the entry/exit zone and the parking area with maximum precision.

Unlike traditional solutions, the vehicle alignment along its longitudinal axis is managed by an external centering system, ensuring accurate positioning. The lifting process is performed by dedicated grippers that securely engage the front wheels, allowing smooth and safe transfer within automated parking systems.

Comb – Fully lifting transfer carriage

Comb is a fully lifting transfer carriage engineered to raise the entire vehicle and transport it between the entry/exit area and the designated parking space.

The vehicle centering is handled by an external alignment system, while the lifting mechanism uses a robust comb-type gripper to ensure secure and stable handling during the transfer process.

Interpark™ – Dual synchronized unit transfer carriage

Interpark is a fully lifting transfer carriage composed of two synchronized units, designed to lift the entire vehicle and move it between the entry/exit areas and the parking spaces.

The use of twin independent units makes it ideal for handling vehicles with an extended wheelbase, offering greater flexibility within the system.

The vehicle alignment along its longitudinal axis is managed by an external centering device. Secure lifting is achieved through dedicated grippers that engage the wheels with precision and stability.

Silomat™ – Advanced transfer carriage with comb-type gripping system

Silomat™ is the result of over 50 years of evolution and innovation in automated parking technology. It combines the core vehicle handling functions—centering, lifting, and transferring—into a single, high-performance unit renowned for its speed and reliability.

Widely adopted across the industry, Silomat™ has become a benchmark solution, with 23 production series developed over the past 25 years. Its advanced comb-type gripping system represents a significant upgrade over earlier designs, ensuring secure and precise handling of vehicles within any automatic parking system.

Interpark™ Plus – Integrated transfer carriage for extended wheelbase vehicles

Interpark™ Plus is a fully-integrated lifting transfer carriage composed of two synchronized units, engineered to lift and transport the entire vehicle between the entry/exit areas and the designated parking spaces.

The use of twin independent units enables the safe handling of vehicles with an extended wheelbase, offering greater flexibility in automated parking operations. The system features a built-in vehicle centering mechanism and secures the car using specialized grippers, ensuring precision and stability during every transfer.
