As described above in detail, according to the mechanical parking device of the present invention, when the user gets on and off the vehicle, the vehicle is placed on the conveyor on the side of the vehicle, and the vehicle is mounted. A scaffold is provided that is retracted so that the vehicle can be transported when transported by the conveyor, and this scaffold is hung on a conveyor that is on the side of the vehicle when a user gets on and off the vehicle. Since it is in the handed state, the user passes through the scaffold and gets on and off the vehicle, so that the user does not pass on the conveyor, and the safety at the time of getting on and off can be improved. Further, when the vehicle is transferred by the conveyor, the scaffold is in a retracted state so that the vehicle can be transferred, so that the scaffold does not hinder the transfer of the vehicle by the conveyor. Therefore, it is possible to realize a mechanical parking device capable of improving safety when a user gets on and off a vehicle provided with a conveyor for transferring a vehicle in the garage.

Further, since the user passes through the scaffolding portion that is bridged on the conveyor, it is not necessary to specialize the conveyor structure such as smoothing the upper surface of the conveyor, and a general-purpose conveyor can be used. Therefore, the cost of the apparatus can be reduced.
