Cardok® by Cardok Limited is an underground parking solution that provides greater capacity than a normal parking and greater security than a locked garage. Currently, Cardok® offers “Cardok Pure” for single parking, “Cardok Prestige” for two-vehicle lift and a “Cardok Exclusive” for a customised and larger parking solution. The design’s objective is to accommodate almost any production car including luxury saloons and 4WDs. All Cardok® products are built-to-order, so whilst there are standard design sizes, variations can be accommodated to suit most circumstances. It can be configured to include ventilation and dehumidification for the purpose of storing an antique/ classic car or car on occasional usage. Each Cardok®’s platform can support a safe working load of up to 3 tonnes per platform. Powered by an electro-hydraulic system, the system operates on a 240V 16 Amp 3 phase but it also can be adapted to run on 240V 32 Amp single phase supply. Cardok® will be supported by a small back-up generator in the event of power cut, so the owner always be able to access his/her car. Headquartered in Tannay, Switzerland, the company has almost 10 distribution partners across Europe, Asia, Middle East and Australia. Source: cardok.com
