A mechanized parking structure includes a plurality of vehicle carrying pallets, a plurality of parking stalls in which the vehicle carrying pallets are stored and a plurality of electric charging devices. The electric charging device includes a pallet-side electric contact device and a stall-side electric contact device, which engages with the pallet-side electric contact device when the vehicle carrying pallet is stored in the parking stall whereby electric circuit is established. Multiple physical contacts are established between the pallet-side electric contact device and the stall-side electric contact device when the electric circuit is established. The electric contact device includes multiple contact segments and springs that are compressed by the contact segments. The physical contacts are established by the movement of the vehicle carrying pallet in to the parking stall and broken by the movement of the vehicle carrying pallet out of the parking stall.
