Multiply your parking space by 2X to 25X,
depending on the model chosen.
Hydraulic dependent stack parking systems represent a cost-effective way to verticalize parking. Multiply your parking space by 2X to 25X, depending on the model chosen.
Drive the first car onto the platform at ground level.
Key control — hydraulic cylinders lift the platform to its upper position.
Park the second car in the ground space under the raised platform.
Drive out the lower car first, then lower the platform to access the upper car.
What is a dependent parking system?
A dependent stack parker lifts one vehicle on a hydraulic platform so a second can park beneath it at ground level. It is called dependent because the upper car is retrieved only after the lower car moves — making it ideal where both spaces belong to the same flat, family, or managed fleet.
No pit. No complex civil work. No automation overheads. A robust steel structure, a hydraulic power pack, and a key-operated control deliver the lowest cost-per-car-space of any mechanical parking solution.
How it works
A full park-and-retrieve cycle takes under 60 seconds, driven by a lockable key switch so only authorised users move the platforms.
Park below
Drive the first car onto the platform at ground level.
Raise
Use the key control — hydraulic cylinders lift the platform to its upper position.
Park beneath
Park the second car in the ground space under the raised platform.
Retrieve
To take the upper car, drive out the lower one and lower the platform.
Choose the right Tala
for your bay.
Two-Level Stacker
The classic dependent stacker — one car above, one below. Ideal for apartment basements, villas, and showrooms with standard heights.
- 2 cars per unit
- Min. clear height approx. 3.4–3.6 m
- Sedans, hatchbacks & SUVs
Three-Level Stacker
Where height allows, stack three cars vertically in one bay — the highest density achievable with no pit required.
- 3 cars per unit
- Min. clear height approx. 5.4–5.8 m
- Open stilts, yards & fleets
Tandem / Multi-Grid
Multiple units in continuous rows sharing structural columns — the standard for large basements with 10+ bays.
- Scales across full floors
- Shared-column economy
- Built for 10+ bays
Exact dimensions are finalised after a site survey — ceiling height, slab loading, and drive-aisle widths determine the right configuration.

The most cost-effective way to add parking
Lowest investment per space
No pit, no steel-intensive automation — additional parking at a fraction of the cost of puzzle or fully automated systems.
Minimal civil work
Only a level RCC floor with adequate load capacity and anchor fastening. Most existing basements and stilts retrofit without structural changes.
Fast deployment
Units arrive factory-fabricated, then install and commission in days — not months.
Simple & reliable
Hydraulic drive with few moving parts means low maintenance, minimal downtime, and 15+ years of service life.
Where dependent parking fits best
Dependent or independent?
Not sure which suits your project? Our team assesses your site and recommends the right system — at no cost.
| Dependent (Stack) | Independent (Pit / Puzzle) | |
|---|---|---|
| Upper-car retrieval | Lower car must move first | Any car, any time |
| Pit required | No | Usually yes |
| Cost per space | Lowest | Moderate to High |
| Best for | Same-owner spaces, valet, fleets | Mixed ownership, public parking |
Common questions
Does a dependent parker need a pit?+
No. The entire system sits on the existing floor slab. Only anchor bolting and a power connection are required.
What ceiling height do I need?+
About 3.4 m clear height for a 2-level system parking a standard sedan above and below. SUV-friendly setups need more — we confirm this during the site survey.
Can SUVs be parked?+
Yes. Platform capacities of 2,000 kg and 2,600 kg cover most SUVs. Vehicle height clearance is the key factor, which we design for.
What happens during a power failure?+
The platform stays safely locked by hydraulic check valves and mechanical locks. Lowering can be done manually via an emergency release by trained personnel.
What maintenance is required?+
A periodic AMC covering hydraulic oil, cylinder seals, anchor torque, and safety inspections — typically 2 to 4 visits per year.
Is it safe for daily use?+
Yes. Dead-man key operation, anti-slip platforms, mechanical locking, and overload protection make stack parkers one of the safest, most proven mechanical parking formats worldwide.
