4 Post Vehicle Stacker
FFPL 4018 / FFPL 4020 Four Post Parking Lift
4000 kg Hydraulic Vehicle Storage System · 4 Parking Spaces · Above-Ground, No Pit
Four-post parking lift — offered as the FFPL 4018 for vehicles up to 4394 mm wheelbase and the FFPL 4020 for vehicles up to 4794 mm wheelbase — is an above-ground hydraulic parking system that turns one footprint into four parking spaces at a uniform 2361 mm allowed car width, with a combined lifting capacity of 4000 kg. Driven by a hydraulic cylinder paired with steel wire ropes, operated from a wall-mounted control panel, powered by a 3 kW motor on a 220–380 V supply, and protected by a power-coated steel surface, it lets homeowners, car dealers, and fleet operators double their vehicle count without digging a pit or pouring a new slab.
Why the FFPL 4 Post Lift Changes How You Use Space
A standard garage bay only holds one car. The FFPL four-post parking lift stacks two more vehicles on a reinforced upper platform while keeping two ground-level positions fully accessible, so the same 2-car footprint stores 4 cars. Because the structure stands on four posts bolted to an existing concrete floor, there is no excavation, no pit, and no structural modification to the building — which makes it a realistic option for attached garages, dealership service bays, rental properties, and indoor fleet depots where land is expensive and construction is not.
Two Models, One Purpose
Both models accept a maximum car width of 2361 mm, lift 4000 kg per cycle, and deliver exactly 4 parking spaces.
Hydraulic Cylinder + Steel Wire Rope Drive
Rather than driving the platform directly with exposed chains, the FFPL uses a hydraulic cylinder to tension multiple steel wire ropes running over sheaves at the top of each post. The rope design spreads load across all four columns, reduces point stress on the platform, and keeps the lift quieter and smoother than chain-equivalent units. The hydraulic pack runs only while lifting, which cuts average energy draw and heat buildup.
Control Panel and Power Supply
Operation is through a compact control panel with raise, lower, and stop functions and an integrated safety circuit. The standard 3 kW motor runs on 220–380 V single or three-phase supply, covering most North American, European, and Asian site power configurations without a dedicated step-up transformer.
Power-Coated Surface Treatment
Every structural beam, post, and carriage is power-coated after precision welding. The coating resists chipping, UV fading, and the road salt or winter brine common in unheated garages and covered parking decks, so the frame keeps its appearance through daily use.
Typical Applications
- Home garages and collector-car storage where two vehicles are parked on top of two others
- New and used car dealerships that need to display or store more inventory in the same lot
- Fleet, rental, and airport-transfer operators stacking sedans and vans
- Residential apartment complexes adding density without a new building permit
- Tire, detailing, and service centers using the upper platform as a maintenance-ready deck

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How many cars can the FFPL 4018 actually park?
The FFPL 4018 provides four parking spaces in total: two vehicles sit on the ground level and two ride on the raised upper platform.
Q2: What is the lifting capacity of the FFPL 4020?
Both the FFPL 4018 and FFPL 4020 lift 4000 kg per cycle, shared across the two vehicle positions on the upper platform.
Q3: What is the difference between FFPL 4018 and FFPL 4020?
The only difference is the wheelbase limit. The 4018 accepts up to 4394 mm; the 4020 extends that to 4794 mm. Width (2361 mm), capacity (4000 kg), parking count (4), motor (3 kW), and surface treatment are identical.
Q4: Does the FFPL four-post lift require a pit?
No. It is an above-ground, bolt-down installation that sits on four posts fixed to an existing concrete floor. No excavation or pit is required.
Q5: What power supply does it need?
A standard 220–380 V supply driving a 3 kW motor. Single-phase or three-phase configurations are supported depending on site wiring.
Q6: Is the finish suitable for unheated or covered outdoor use?
Yes. Structural steel is power-coated to resist chipping, UV, and road salt, which is the same finish spec used on DAXLIFTER outdoor-rated parking and lifting equipment.
