Lift and slide parking systems employ a plurality of novel trolley apparatus. Each trolley includes a rectangular frame from which a platform may be raised and lowered via cables coupled to lifting bars positioned at each of four corners of the platform. On one side of the frame a slide rail and trolley sliding assembly includes hydraulic cylinders coupled with cables routed through sheaves arranged to enable movement of the trolley horizontally a necessary distance. The slide rail may include grooves in which a sliding block may be slidably retained. On the side opposite the slide rail is a lift rail and platform lift assembly which includes a hydraulic cylinder coupled with one or more belts routed through rollers to a lifting block coupled with cables routed through sheaves and coupled to lifting bars arranged to enable vertical movement of the platform. The lift rail may include grooves in which a cylinder block and lift block are slidably retained. A sliding roller at each corner of the frame is positioned to engage in tracks attached to the superstructure which run the width of the parking system.

An AGV comb-type transfer robot, comprising: a lifting frame (2), comb teeth being mounted on the lifting frame (2); and a traveling frame (1), a comb tooth lifting apparatus (15) being mounted on the traveling frame (1), and a traveling drive mechanism (13) and a central control system being mounted in the traveling frame (1). The comb tooth lifting apparatus (15) comprises a lifting drive motor (151) and a gear set (152) in transmission connection with the motor (151). The traveling drive mechanism (13) comprises a traveling drive motor and a traveling wheel set mounted in the traveling frame (1). The present invention also relates to a method for storing and retrieving a vehicle using the robot. The transfer efficiency and intelligent level of the robot are high.
