The revolutionary Autostacker™ A6S parking lift is a reflection of our continuing commitment to design and deliver innovative vehicle storage solutions that offer only the highest value to our customers. The space-saving design means you can now stack one vehicle above another in the same space typically required for a single parking stall. With the strength to handle loads up to 6,000 pounds and a footprint considerably smaller than other mechanical parking systems, the A6S delivers more parking capability space per square inch than any other lift in its class. Despite Autostacker’s overall compact design, it provides a generous 85” of underside clearance. Benefiting from the knowledge of BendPak’s vast automotive experience, Autostacker has applied many of the same technologies to its family of commercial vehicle parking systems. Thanks to Autostacker's auto-synchronizing power system and simple operator controls, more versatility and greater reliability are achieved.
Only the Autostacker offers your operation the flexibility of using a compact, vertical lifting platform to double your car or truck parking capability literally overnight, either indoors or outside. Our innovative design uses tandem direct-drive hydraulic cylinders that are smartly concealed within paired scissors structures that act as the lifting muscle for the full-length galvanized platform. Every Autostacker that rolls off our assembly line incorporates materials and operating components that are of the highest quality, skillfully designed to match our pedigree for ruggedness and dependability. Combined with BendPak’s tradition of rugged and reliable construction and the Autostacker’s innovative engineering, it’s easy to see why Autostacker is America’s premier provider of vehicle storage solutions.
Commercial Application
As the costs of commercial and residential development increase, gaining additional parking spaces in the same useable space provides instant value. Autostacker mechanical parking systems are designed to increase parking density and cut costs over traditional parking methods.
There are, of course, other ways to add parking spaces. In-ground parking requires a construction crew to excavate into a conventional basement, which is extremely costly and difficult, not to mention messy. If you need to dig down or add levels to existing parking areas, you’re looking at costs ranging from $35,000 to $50,000 per stall.
When using Autostacker parking systems, you’ll find that you are able to store vehicles in a much tighter space than typically required for individual parking units. A normal parking stall requires around 300 – 350 square feet for the stall, plus a moderate amount of clearance for drive aisles. Autostacker’s floor space requirement is just 200 square feet, and again, that delivers you two spaces, not just the one.
