Parking booths are used in many situations. When an architect, engineer or owner has determined the need for a new or replacement parking booth for their location, several factors for the new parking booth need to be factored in. First of all, what sort of location is it? Is it a traditional open type surface parking lot? Or is it a parking deck or ramp? Perhaps the parking booth is going to be part of an exit plaza at a large transit or port facility such as an airport. Alternately, the parking booth could be intended to be a point of collection at the entrance to a park or other tourist attraction where a fixed price fee is to be collected. Or maybe the parking booth is going to be a valet station at a hospital, hotel or casino. These are but a few of the applications for a parking booth or portable steel building and new uses for these booths are being set up weekly, as the economy finally starts to grow again.
The reasons to install a parking booth are basic: Provide personnel with protection from the elements and provide security. Peace of mind for employees, keeping them from possible harm as well as protecting the revenue that is typically being collected in those locations. A solid steel booth provides a good climate controlled environment to keep attendants comfortable, which in turn, allows them to work at their most efficient levels and to provide top drawer service to your valuable customers. Additionally, a parking booth with a professional design and aesthetically pleasing appearance helps to attract customers. As the old saying goes, first impressions count!
From traditional parking lot locations, to car washes, to parks and marinas, airports and tourist attractions, Par-Kut International offers so many styles and sizes of parking lot booths that it is impossible to list them all here. From basic to top-of-the line, Par-Kut parking lot booths can meet any organization's need for an enclosure to shelter the employee whose task it is to maintain the all important revenue collection stream. Parking booths can include accommodations for providing work stations for individuals with disabilities (ADA compliant) and can also include rest room facilities. For full time parking booths (24/7) inclusion of bullet resistant construction is an option as well.
Another growing trend is for the use of a parking lot booth to be adapted for use as a shelter for an automated parking payment machine, either a pay on foot type, or pay in lane. These are simply called Pay Machine Covers and they also range from the very basic to the elaborate and can include heat and light as well as architectural flourishes such as a standing seam roof and two tone paint.
Locating a parking lot booth at the point of collection, or best point of control or highest visibility point at a facility is usually best. The climate of the location, along with the size of the booth and the specific layout and use for the parking booth will help to determine what sort of factory installed HVAC equipment is installed. Same holds true for the electrical system (lights, outlets, breaker panel, phone and data preps, etc.). If the parking booth is to be located in an area near a night life district, vandal resistant glass can be specified for the windows.
A couple more words about the appearance of the parking booth. Surrounding architecture can be matched or complemented. Par-Kut offers contemporary as well as traditional designs and can enhance even their standard parking booths with optional treatments such as factory applied brick veneer, stucco, custom roofing, and more. On the booths themselves, butt glazed glass to glass corners, rounded ends, radius corners and colonials styling are available.
