PARK AND SLIDE GARAGE SYSTEM
Case Study
How the PS1 Car Parking Slider Transformed a One-Car Garage into a Functional Two-Car Solution Product
Installed: Carousel-USA PS1 Vehicle Parking Slider
OVERVIEW:
In one of San Francisco’s historic neighborhoods, garage space is extremely limited and vehicle maneuverability
is a daily challenge. At this residence, the homeowner struggled to navigate two vehicles into a narrow, constrained garage. Structural modifications were restricted due to the property’s historic designation, leaving valuable space inside the garage inaccessible.
Carousel-USA delivered a mechanical park and slide garage system that made the space fully functional—without construction, permits, or altering the existing structure.
THE CHALLENGE:
The residential owner faced several issues common to older San Francisco properties:
Tight garage dimensions and limited turning radius
Inability to maneuver two vehicles into the space
Unused dead space along one side of the garage
Restrictions on widening or altering the structure due to historic status
They needed a simple, safe, and durable way to maximize existing square footage and improve day-to-day usability.
THE SOLUTION: CUSA PARK AND SLIDE GARAGE SYSTEM - PS1 PARKING SLIDER
Carousel-USA installed the PS1 Parking Slider, a drive-on platform that moves laterally on steel tracks to reposition a vehicle into previously unreachable areas of the garage.
Once the first vehicle is parked on the PS1 and translated sideways, the remaining space becomes fully accessible— allowing a second car to park comfortably in the garage.
This solution required no structural modification and installed in under one day.
