Company Profile

Another Level Car Parks is the latest business venture by Frank Rothwell to draw on over 25 years of experience in the manufacturing and hire industries. All the sister companies have the same business strategy to develop ground breaking products and then manufacture for our own hire fleet.

Since 1979 Frank Rothwell has passionately grown the businesses based on traditional values by treating customers, employees and suppliers how he likes to be treated. We are a wholly owned and expanding family business who prides ourselves in providing a safe, effective and efficient service with modern plant and equipment.

Since leaving school at 14 and then 40 years continuous work Frank decided to take time out sailing his own yacht around the world. While away he read a report in the Daily Mail (March 4th 2003) about a heart operation which was cancelled at a Cardiff Hospital because the surgeon became too stressed to work after he could not find a car parking space. During his circumnavigation he came up with the modular platform concept as a solution to the car parking problem.

On his return he set forth with the research, evaluation and design of a prefabricated modular car park structure.

As our guide to the specification we chose to use the "Design recommendations for multi-storey and underground car parks" 3rd Edition from The Institution of Structural Engineers. 

The structure had to be safe for its users and over engineered to accommodate overloading and misuse.

The structure had to be simple, easy and quick to assemble. It had to be easily adapted to suit the size, gradients and conditions of individual sites.

The modules had to lock together and fit on standard articulated trailers without being classified as an abnormal load.

It took 4 years to have 4 patents granted for our "Modular Platform".

By summer 2008 we had completed 23 Another Level Car Park Structures.
