- I design mechanical parking systems. When designing them, I think not only about how the equipment works, but also about how easy it is for people to use, manufacture, and maintain.

Where do your products do their work?
I heard ShinMaywa's technology helps parking run smoothly. Is that true?
It sure is! Have you ever seen a parking facility near a train station or apartment building where machines move and store cars automatically?
These systems make it possible to park lots of cars even in places where space is limited.
ShinMaywa manufactures a variety of systems, including tall tower parking systems, elevator parking systems, and multi-level parking systems.
Now that you mention it, I think I saw lots of places like that when I was flying over the city!
Let's watch a video together!
This is our elevator-type parking system called "ELEPARK"

What makes ShinMaywa's mechanical parking systems so special?
In the video, I saw cars riding on something like an elevator.
Is ELEPARK really that strong?
Great question, MayMay!
Mechanical car parking systems are all incredibly strong.
Cars sit on a platform called a pallet, which is lifted and lowered using ropes and counterweights.
That's right! But simply lifting the pallet isn't enough. The real challenge is making sure it moves perfectly straight and safely every time.
We've also built in features that help keep vehicles secure, even during earthquakes.
Is it difficult to build mechanical car parking systems?
It can be challenging sometimes.
But that's also what makes it fun. We get to take on new challenges every day!
Cars come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, right? That's why we're always finding new ways to improve our systems.
For example, we've made it possible to charge electric vehicles.
We've also created spaces that make it easier for wheelchair users to get in and out of their cars.
We work hard to make the systems quieter,
and we're always looking for ways to accommodate larger vehicles, too.
Every day, we're thinking about how to make parking more convenient, comfortable, and smooth for everyone who uses it.
Did you notice something in the video? The car turned around inside the building before coming back out! ELEPARLK is designed so drivers can drive in facing forward and leave facing forward, too. We also provide maintenance services to help keep the equipment safe and reliable for years to come. And if something unexpected happens, we have specialized service teams ready to respond.
Wow! There are so many people working behind the scenes to help cars park safely!
That's right. Creating new products and services is important, but making sure our customers can use them safely for many years is just as important. Everyone at ShinMaywa has a role to play, and we all work together to keep things running smoothly.
It's incredibly useful in everyday life!
If I see a mechanical parking system, how can I tell whether it's made by ShinMaywa?
Take a look at apartment buildings near your home or parking facilities beside tall buildings in the city. If you spot a mechanical parking system, look near the control panel.You might find the "ShinMaywa" logo right there!
MayMay can fly over and take a look from the sky, but for our younger friends, please remember to stay safe! Parking facilities are places where cars are constantly moving. If you'd like to have a closer look, ask a parent or guardian first and make sure it's okay to enter the area. If you can't get close, try spotting one from a safe distance!
Creating an Even Smoother Parking Experience
One thing we're especially proud of is how smoothly ShinMaywa's mechanical car parking systems work together with digital systems and apps. Recently, we've introduced systems that can monitor equipment conditions from remote locations. We've also developed an app called Spasa, which lets users reserve vehicle retrieval times and EV charging sessions in advance.
Through these technologies, we're helping everyone involved with the parking system enjoy an even smoother experience.
It’s so smooth! mechanical car parking systems is a service that takes good care of your car and keeps it safe, and to ensure you can keep using it with peace of mind, the team at ShinMaywa is working behind the scenes to make everything run as smoothly as possible.
