The “Wish List” item for the guy with multiple cars and not enough garage space.
Have you seen the vehicle lifts for residential applications? The four post hydraulic lift is a less expensive alternative to the traditional scissor lift. The big advantage with this system is that it lowers one car into a lower level, allowing another car to be parked on top of the lift’s canopy (which now serves as the floor of the garage). Prices start at around $25,000.
While this would never be practical in suburban subdivisions, there are specific applications for it here in Atlanta, such as:
- At intown locations where square footage and garage space is at a premium.
- At teardowns inside the perimeter with narrow lots that make multi-car garages impossible.
- Where the grade at the garage slopes away quickly requiring tall garage foundation walls. Instead of backfilling that garage foundation, a lower level can be created for additional vehicle storage.
- To create a “Man Cave” in a lower level where collector cars, motorcycles, jet skis, etc. can be stored, worked on and displayed.
We can work with you to design and construct a vehicle lift for your client. We also will assemble and install the lift in place.
