Product Overview
Intelligent customization redefines vertical transportation
The garage parking lift is the simplest and most common type of lift used for increasing vehicle storage in a private residential garage. It is an exposed, surface-mounted, four-post system that uses a hydraulic cylinder and cable/chain assembly to raise a platform and the car sitting on it to ceiling height. This allows a second vehicle to be parked underneath in the space that the first vehicle originally occupied. Because the two cars are dependent (the top car must be moved to access the bottom one), they are best suited for single-family residences or situations where one car is stored for long periods.
The focus of these lifts is on stability, safety, and straightforward installation, typically requiring only a strong, level concrete floor and standard electrical power. Key features include automatic locking mechanisms (safety latches) that engage at regular intervals during the ascent, ensuring the platform is mechanically held in place, regardless of hydraulic pressure. They are highly popular among classic car collectors and homeowners needing extra parking spaces.

Product Advantages
Why choose Tenau elevators?
Cost-Effective Storage
Offers a significantly cheaper way to acquire a second parking spot than building an extension or buying another property.
Protects Collectibles
The elevated position protects a stored vehicle from accidental damage from the lower car, spills, or ground-level hazards in the garage.
Product Features
Innovative technology, superior experience
- Integrated Bridge Ramps: Small, removable ramps allow the platform's runways to be bridged, enabling the lift to move ATVs, lawnmowers, or other wide, non-car items.
- Hydraulic Overload Valve: Prevents the lift from operating if the total weight (platform + vehicle) exceeds the safe, rated load capacity.
- Adjustable Locking Positions: The safety locks can typically be set at various heights, allowing the owner to customize the clearance height for the lower car.
Product Comparison
| Characteristic | Garage Parking Lift (4-Post) | Scissor Car Stacker |
| Footprint | Larger footprint due to four posts | Smaller footprint, posts not required at corners |
| Stability | Superior stability (Four vertical columns) | Good stability, but less lateral rigidity than 4-post |
| Under-Car Access | Good access between runways for the upper car | Excellent access (No posts in the way) |
| Platform Type | Typically runways only (Requires drip trays) | Often a full, solid platform deck |
| Aesthetic | Industrial, exposed posts | Cleaner, less exposed look, especially in a pit |

Factors To Consider When Choosing Elevator
Comprehensive assessment, wise choice
Technical Factors
- Ceiling Obstructions: Thoroughly checking the ceiling for garage door tracks, lighting fixtures, and HVAC ducts that may interfere with the platform's highest travel point.
- Anchoring Requirements: Ensuring the proper type, depth, and tension of anchor bolts are used to secure the posts to the concrete, as specified by the manufacturer.
- Weather Seal Integrity: In non-climate-controlled garages, ensuring hydraulic seals are rated for temperature extremes to prevent leaks and operational issues.
Usage Factors
- Emergency Exit Plan: Planning a clear, unobstructed path for the lower car to exit the garage quickly, especially in a power-out situation where the upper car is stuck.
- Cost of Permits: Researching whether the lift installation requires a local mechanical or building permit, which adds to the initial project cost.
- Routine Lubrication: Adhering to the manufacturer's schedule for greasing moving parts, particularly the sheaves and safety lock mechanisms, to ensure smooth operation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Questions you may be interested in
Yes, provided the total weight of the SUV is within the lift's rated capacity and the SUV's height, when on the platform, allows for adequate ceiling clearance.
No, the vast majority of garage parking lifts are surface-mounted. They only require a strong, level concrete floor to which the four posts are anchored.
Most hydraulic units include a simple manual lowering valve that allows the operator to safely and slowly bleed the hydraulic pressure, allowing the platform to descend to the ground level.
