Custom car lift: efficiency, comfort and space combined

A car lift is the smart solution if you want to save space, increase comfort or park multiple vehicles efficiently.
Whether you’re a property developer working on a sleek apartment project or a private client looking to store cars:
a car lift offers a safe, space-saving and stylish solution.

Car lift in your garage: ideal for home use

Interested in a car lift for your garage? With a car lift you gain space and avoid long ramps or extra floors. Our lifts can be integrated indoors or outdoors, both in new builds and renovations. You can also equip the car lift with a roof so you create an extra parking spot.

How to choose the right car lift?

We know every situation is unique. Together, we assess the following points:

  • Vertical travel: what is the height difference between the two finished floor levels?
  • Vehicle and shaft dimensions:
    • We recommend a shaft of 3000 × 6000 mm so any vehicle type can use the car lift comfortably.
  • Pit depth:
    • At least 650 mm. We preferably mount the lift on a ring beam, which can buffer excess water and protect the lift against water damage.
  • Technical room:
    • This houses the hydraulic power unit and the electrical control cabinet so everything is neatly and compactly installed.

Together we define what fits the residents’ or users’ vehicle fleet.

Sectional doors

Fully integrated with the car lift system: the doors only open when the lift is at the correct level, keeping the situation safe.

Who opts for a car lift?

Property developers

Who want to optimise available space
in apartment buildings.

Private clients

Who want to store multiple cars,
including classics or exclusive models.

Architects & contractors

Who are looking for efficient
space solutions in the design phase.
 

For a car lift, it’s best to involve us early in the building process. That way we can coordinate with the architect and contractor for seamless preparation, integration and installation.

A car lift where you remain in your vehicle?

It’s possible – provided we take the following into account:

  • Stricter safety requirements to comply with applicable standards
  • An additional package of technical provisions

How much does a car lift cost?

Every car lift is custom-made, and the price depends on your specific requirements. For a straightforward one-level installation, budgets start from €40,000. The final price will vary according to factors such as:

Vertical travel, dimensions
& lifting capacity

We define the exact travel,
dimensions and rated capacity
of the lift together.

With or
without passengers

Depending on whether the lift is designed solely for vehicles or also for people to remain inside.

Configuration &
customised options

Indoor or outdoor integration,
linking with sectional doors and
additional aesthetic finishes.

What is a parking lift?

A recent addition within car-lift solutions is the parking lift. As the name suggests, it lets you park two cars above one another on the same floor.

An ideal option where you don’t want—or can’t—carry out structural works, provided there is sufficient headroom.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the minimum space for a car lift?

    Yes, provided there is enough space and smooth access to the lift shaft. We will assess the options together.
  • May I remain in the vehicle while using the car lift?
    Yes, but it depends on the building conditions in and around the shaft, the required travel and several safety provisions to comply with the applicable legislation.
