Car Lifts

As the UK becomes increasingly urbanised, with urban centres growing every day, space in cities is becoming increasingly expensive and in-demand. Finding inventive ways to increase capacity for structures like car parks is very important today to ensure that parent organisations remain profitable, regardless of rising land costs and an increase in space restrictions.

Car lifts can be used over-ground or underground to reduce the need for spacious ramps and ground-level parking spaces, as well as providing users with a simpler and more streamlined parking experience.

Car lifts can be used in both commercial settings and in residential applications, whether this is in automatic parking systems (where cars are moved and stored without the user in the vehicle), in man-on-board lifts (where a driver or member of staff accompanies the car on the lift and then drives it to park it), or in car stackers (where car parking spaces are “stacked”, either above or below ground).

Car lifts can also increase driveway space in residential homes, allowing for multiple cars to be moved underground, or to stack vehicles. This makes access easier, and also allows for more space. In the luxury housing market, car lifts can also massively increase the value of a home and are a highly sought-after feature for many prospective buyers.

Getting the Right Functionalities

Before you choose a car parking lift, be sure to thoroughly evaluate the unique needs of your project, as this allows you and your engineers to identify the features you need and the ones you don’t, which will result in you finding the best possible solution. There are many different functionalities available when it comes to car parking lifts, so choosing the right type of lift, the right capacity and capabilities, the right budget and the right user controls will all make a difference to the finished product.
