At Quantum Traffic, we work on hundreds of projects through the planning phase, helping developers, architects, and planners secure approvals for innovative parking solutions. However, we don’t always get to see these projects in action. That’s why our recent visit to the Klaus Showroom in Melbourne was such a valuable experience—giving us the opportunity to see the functionality, operation, and design of car stackers firsthand.

Our visit included an insightful presentation from the Klaus team, showcasing their various car stacker systems and how they cater to different urban parking challenges. From standard models to semi-automatic systems and even the impressive hidden underfloor car stacker, it was fascinating to see how these solutions are designed to maximize space efficiency while ensuring ease of use.
A couple photos of the systems at the Klaus ANZ showroom are provided below.
 | Multibase U10 This underfloor system effectively provides a hidden space below ground with the ability to park a car on top. Alternatively the top can be grass or be part of your outdoor courtyard type area, offering ultimate flexibility for small, constrained city blocks. |
 | Semi-Automatic – Trendvario 6000 Through 3 grids and 3 levels, this system is able to provide 8 car spaces all independently accessible. Able to be used with mobile phone app integration, these provide ultimate space saving options for maximising car spaces. |
 | Car Stackers – Multivario 2072 Able to provide 2 car spaces per grid, independently accessed, these allow for a doubling of the car park provision compared to a standard basement. These ystems do not require gates/doors and utilise a ‘dead-mna’ switch to move cars up and down (no lateral movement). |
Seeing these systems operate in real-time reinforced the importance of collaboration between car stacker manufacturers, engineers, and developers to ensure a seamless integration into a project’s design and function.
Key Takeaways from Our Visit
✅ Solutions for Every Challenge – Klaus offers a wide range of car stackers to suit different site constraints and project requirements.

Bringing Parking Solutions to Life
As traffic engineers, we often engage with car stacker systems during the planning phase, working to ensure compliance and functionality on paper. Seeing these systems in action reinforced the practical considerations that need to be factored in during the design and approval process.
