Which Is the Best Choice for Parking System Installation?
When planning a parking system project, many customers ask:
Should we arrange an engineer to come on site, or is remote installation support enough?
The answer depends on the type of parking system, the project scale, and the local installation experience.
Below is a professional comparison to help you make the right decision.
1. What Is Remote Installation Support?
Remote installation support means:
Installation is carried out by local technicians
Our engineers provide guidance through:
Installation manuals
Drawings and wiring diagrams
Photos and videos from the site
Online communication
This method is widely used for simple parking systems and has proven to be efficient and reliable.
2. What Is On-Site Engineer Support?
On-site engineer support means:
Our engineer travels to the project site
Provides installation guidance, commissioning, and system checks
Works directly with the local installation team
This service is typically used for:
Large-scale projects
Complex parking systems
Projects with special technical or regulatory requirements
3. Remote Support vs On-Site Engineer: A Clear Comparison
3.1 Cost Comparison
Remote Installation Support
No travel or accommodation costs
No daily service fees
Most cost-effective solution
On-Site Engineer Support
International airfare
Visa, accommodation, meals, transportation
Daily service fees
👉 For many projects, remote support can save thousands of dollars.
3.2 Installation Difficulty
Simple Parking Systems
Based on car lift technology
Structure and operation are straightforward
Suitable for installers with car lift experience
✅ Remote support is usually sufficient
Complex Parking Systems
Automated or semi-automated operation
Multiple sensors and control logic
High installation precision required
⚠️ On-site engineer support is strongly recommended
3.3 Installation Efficiency
Remote Support
Installation can start immediately
No waiting for visas or travel arrangements
Issues are solved through photos and videos
On-Site Support
Effective for first-time complex projects
Reduces risk during large installations
Useful for training local teams
4. Our Real Experience from the Field
With nearly 20 years of experience in parking equipment and car lifts:
The vast majority of simple parking systems have been successfully installed using remote support only
We have never encountered a simple parking system installation issue that could not be resolved through technical guidance
Customers worldwide have completed installations safely and efficiently without on-site engineers
This experience allows us to confidently recommend the most cost-effective solution for each project.
5. When Should You Choose Remote Installation Support?
Remote support is the best choice if:
The system is a simple parking lift
Local installers have car lift or mechanical installation experience
The project scale is small to medium
Cost control is important
6. When Is On-Site Engineer Support the Better Option?
On-site support may be recommended if:
The project involves complex parking systems
The project scale is large
Local regulations require manufacturer supervision
The customer prefers direct on-site coordination
In these cases, we can arrange experienced or senior engineers based on project requirements.
7. Our Recommendation: Practical, Safe, and Cost-Effective
Our principle is simple:
We do not recommend on-site engineer support unless it is truly necessary.
Every project is evaluated individually to ensure:
Safe installation
Reliable operation
Reasonable overall project cost
