PURPOSE:To make it possible to drive a car for entering and leaving the shed with confidence and to reduce time required for entering and leaving the shed by changing car's direction at entrance and exit drives on the highest floor of a parking facility to house the car on a parking tray. CONSTITUTION:An empty parking tray 6 is called to the highest floor of a parking facility, and a car is housed thereon from a car shed 15 through a movable type walking step 16. After that, a driving arm 50 is turned to rotate a turning tray 23 180 deg., and at the same time, movable fences 18 and 18 are erected from a fallen state to lock the turning tray 23. Interlocking of a pin- shaped male clutch 34 with a plate-like female clutch 49 is released to make possible circulating operation, and the next empty tray 6 is called to enter a car mounting tray into a free and specific place. In that way, after a car is moved forward to house it on a parking tray, the turning tray is rotated 180 deg. and is moved forward to make the car leave the shed. According to the constitution, in the case of entering and leaving the car shed, a danger such as a damage or fatal accident, etc., can be avoided and, at the same time, time required for entering and leaving the shed can be reduced.
