Unlike adapted canopies, the Apollo is engineered specifically as a ticket machine shelter, offering proportionate overhead protection for pay and display equipment and users.
It is particularly well suited to:
• Surface car parks
• Open-sided multi-storey parking decks
• Park and ride facilities
• Hospital and university campuses
• Retail and supermarket car parks
• Leisure and visitor destinations
The shelter can be installed individually or arranged side by side or back to back to provide consistent coverage for multiple machines.
Minimal Design, Maximum Strength
The Apollo pay and display machine shelter features distinctive tubular curved end frames, creating a clean silhouette that complements contemporary car park layouts. The simplicity of the structure is deliberate, reducing unnecessary detailing while maintaining structural rigidity.
Core structural characteristics include:
• Steel framework engineered for long-term outdoor performance
• Tubular curved end frames for strength and visual clarity
• Clean, minimal profile suited to civic and commercial environments
The result is a shelter that appears lightweight yet performs reliably in demanding external conditions.
Designed for exposed sites, the Apollo structure incorporates:
• Hot-dip galvanised corrosion protection
• Polyester powder coated finish in standard Broxap colours
• Materials selected for reduced maintenance requirements
This ensures the car park ticket machine shelter maintains its appearance and performance over time, even in coastal or heavily trafficked environments.
Protection for Equipment and Users
Pay and display machines represent a significant operational investment. The Apollo parking ticket machine shelter helps extend equipment lifespan by reducing direct exposure to:
• Rain and standing water
• UV degradation
• Snow accumulation
• Debris build-up
In addition to protecting equipment, the shelter improves user experience by providing overhead cover during payment, particularly in exposed sites where queuing may occur.
Flexible Configuration for Car Park Layouts
The modular design allows the Apollo pay and display shelter to be configured according to site constraints and machine positioning.
Installation options include:
• Single bay covering one machine
• Multiple units positioned side by side
• Back-to-back arrangement for centrally located machines
This adaptability supports efficient layout planning and ensures alignment with pedestrian flow and vehicle circulation routes.
The shelter is often specified alongside Broxap’s wider range of car park infrastructure, including bollards, perimeter fencing, pedestrian guardrails and cycle shelters, creating a cohesive and functional parking environment.
Car park installations require careful consideration of ground conditions and underground services. The Apollo ticket machine shelter can be supplied with:
• Surface-mounted fixing options
• Root-fixed installations depending on foundation design
• Site-specific fixing recommendations
• Full UK installation service
Coordination with principal contractors ensures integration within live car park operations while maintaining safety and compliance.
Manufactured in the UK under controlled production standards, the Apollo shelter is designed for consistency and build integrity. Its proportions and clearance allow compatibility with a wide range of pay and display machine models.
Specification considerations typically include:
• Machine footprint and maintenance access
• Surface water management
• Vehicle overhang and pedestrian circulation
• Visibility and signage positioning
Its understated design makes it appropriate for both heritage-sensitive local authority schemes and contemporary commercial developments.
