It is forbidden to leave loaded cars, car and tractor trailers in the garage, as well as in an open areas.

A platform suggests that it is raised up in some way.
(If they can't be in the garage or in the open, where can they be? That might be helpful to include.)

Thank you for the explanation of the difference.
About your qyuestion: As I've understood, they should not be left (unattended) in any of these places.

Then the sign needs to specify "unattended". I assumed that the relevant point was that they were "loaded" and that if they were empty, they could be left in the garage or in the open.
