Although the four-stage parking device has been described in the embodiment, the same operation and effect are provided as long as the upper space has one or more stages and the upper pallet can be moved up and down.

The operation of the present invention having the above-described structure will be described below. When the vehicle 32 is placed on the two-stage pallet 10, the control panel 40 is operated to cause the lower pallet 9 immediately below the two-stage pallet 10 to traverse. After that, the chain motor 17 is driven to lower the two-stage pallet 10 to the lower space 4 and the supporting legs 23 are grounded as shown in FIG. In this state, the vehicle 32 is moved backward and the two-stage pallet 10
However, since the front of the two-stage pallet 10 is narrow due to a road or the like at this time, the vehicle 32 has to be retracted in an arc shape. As shown in FIG. It may hit the chain 29,
Since the chain 29 is covered with the cover 31, the vehicle 3
Since the front surface 33 of the cover 31 faces the front of the two-stage pallet 10 even if the cover 31 is pulled rearward due to friction with the vehicle 32, the opening 36 does not spread, so that the chain 29 does not spread. It does not come off.

When the vehicle 32 rides on the two-stage pallet 10 as shown in FIG. 2, the chain motor 17 is driven to pull up the chain 29 and raise the two-stage pallet 10 to the position shown in FIG. At this time, when the cover 31 rises and passes through the sprocket 20, the opening 36 of the cover 31 is inserted into the sprocket 2
0 does not interfere with the cover 31 and prevents rain or the like from hitting the chain 29 at the cover 31 at the position shown in FIG. Further, since the chain 29 is always pulled by the wire 30, the chain 29 does not loosen.

The above is the case of placing on the two-stage pallet 10, but the same operation can be performed when placing on the three-stage pallet 11 and the four-stage pallet 13. That is, in the case of the three-stage pallet 11, the transverse carriage 12 in the two-stage space 6 immediately below the three-stage pallet 11 is traversed by the drive of the roller motor 16 and then the three-stage pallet 11 is lowered.
