In 1921 an automobile pioneer, Winslow Felix, opened Felix Chevrolet in Los Angeles. Felix was a friend of Pat Sullivan, who’s animation studio created the mischievous feline character, Felix the Cat, and so the character was borrowed. Today a large, illuminated Felix stands over this iconic downtown dealership that has been serving Los Angeles for over 100 years.

LA Certified PARKPLUS Quad Stacker Parking Lifts

PARKPLUS California is currently completing installation of quad stackers on the rooftop of Felix Chevrolet. The nature of this project is unique on its own as it will essentially change the skyline of downtown Los Angeles, but it also marks PARKPLUS California’s 100th project. Quad Stackers are a mechanical parking system of four level lifts that store cars vertically. The stacker lifts vehicles on nested platforms between shared common legs, so that additional cars can be parked below.

For the Felix Chevrolet project, thirty quad stackers constructed with LA-certified high strength steel and full-tray galvanized steel platforms are being installed on the roof. This will double as a storage and display opportunity for the dealership.

 

As a PARKPLUS standard, the California office provides a complete turnkey solution, with in-house architectural and engineering expertise specializing in complex integration into a design-build environment. PARKPLUS California is a California-licensed general contractor, performing project installation and maintenance services.
