Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
A garage car lift is a mechanical device used for vertical positioning of automobiles, serving two primary functions: either stacking two cars in a space designed for one, or raising a car to a comfortable working height for maintenance (often called a hoist). The stacking type, a form of parking lift, uses a hydraulic cylinder or chain system to raise a vehicle on a platform, allowing another vehicle to be parked underneath. They are an essential tool for car enthusiasts, collectors, and homeowners with limited garage space.
The lifts are typically surface-mounted, requiring only a concrete floor capable of handling the concentrated load of the lift and two vehicles. Key safety features include automatic locks at various height intervals to prevent accidental descent and controls that require continuous pressure during movement. Models vary from two-post to four-post systems, with the four-post being more common for residential stacking due to greater stability and ease of driving onto the platform.

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Space Optimization
Instantly doubles the parking capacity within an existing garage footprint, offering a cost-effective solution for multiple vehicles.
Facilitates Car Maintenance
For enthusiasts, it provides easy, safe access to the underside of the vehicle for oil changes, repairs, and detailing at a comfortable working height.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Caster Kits: Some models offer optional caster wheels that allow the entire lift to be rolled within the garage when empty, increasing space flexibility.
- Drip Trays: Includes accessory drip trays that sit beneath the upper car, protecting the lower car from oil, water, and dirt dripping down.
- Single Point Lock Release: Features a mechanism that allows the operator to release all four safety locks simultaneously from one control location for convenience.
Product Comparison
| Characteristic | Garage Car Lift (Stacking) | Scissor Lift (Mid-Rise) |
| Vertical Access | Full under-car access for maintenance | Limited under-car access (Scissor structure in the way) |
| Parking Stacking | Designed for long-term stacking of two vehicles | Primarily for temporary service, not stacking |
| Ceiling Height | Requires full height clearance (e.g., 3m+) | Can operate in lower clearance spaces |
| Stability | Four-point, very stable for storage | Requires more care for high-lift stability |
| Foundation | Needs a 10cm+ reinforced concrete slab | Often requires a fixed mounting point |

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Ceiling Height: Crucial determination of the required vertical clearance to fit the lift structure and two vehicles, with the lower vehicle having adequate head clearance.
- Foundation Requirements: Ensuring the concrete slab (thickness, strength) is sufficient to handle the total weight load concentrated on the lift's four posts.
- Hydraulic Fluid Type: Using the correct, climate-appropriate hydraulic fluid to ensure reliable operation in varying garage temperatures.
Usage Factors
- Car Dimensions: Confirming the lift's platform width and length can safely and comfortably accommodate the largest vehicle intended for storage.
- Installation Checklist: Rigorously following the manufacturer's checklist for securing cables, routing hoses, and setting the safety lock mechanism during installation.
- Annual Inspection: Implementing an annual professional inspection of the cables, chains, hydraulic lines, and safety latches for wear and tear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
Generally, you need the height of the two cars plus the height of the lift platform and necessary overhead clearance, typically 3.0 m (10 feet) or more, depending on the vehicles' size.
No, two-post lifts are primarily for maintenance, offering better under-car access. Four-post lifts or specific stacking scissor lifts are required for safe, stable, long-term car storage.
While many models are designed for DIY installation, professional setup is strongly recommended to ensure all safety locks, cables, and anchoring bolts are correctly installed and torqued for heavy load stability.
