A pit-mounted parking lift is an innovative, stand-alone, two-post underground parking solution. Through its built-in pit structure, it efficiently transforms limited space into multiple standard parking spots, effectively doubling parking capacity while maintaining the original convenience of the parking area. This means that when moving a car parked on the upper platform, there’s no need to move the car below, greatly simplifying parking operations.
Pit-mounted parking lifts come in various configurations, including scissor-type, two-post, and four-post models. Although all are installed in a pit, we recommend different types based on each customer’s specific needs.
Undergrund scissor car parking lift is commonly used in home garages, villa courtyards, workshops, and exhibition halls. Because the entire system can be concealed underground, the ground-level space remains fully usable, offering both practicality and aesthetics. To ensure a perfect fit, the pit depth and dimensions must correspond precisely to those of the lift. Some customers request decorative finishes such as marble or other materials for the upper platform surface — we can customize the design accordingly, making the lift completely invisible when lowered. Typical specifications include a load capacity of 4–5 tons, lifting height of 2.3–2.8 meters, and platform size of 5m × 2.3m. These figures are for reference only; final parameters will depend on your specific requirements.
A two-post pit car lift also requires a dedicated pit, allowing vehicles to be lowered smoothly without removing the car below. This system offers several advantages: it can increase parking capacity by 2–3 times without the need for additional land or underground excavation. It operates quietly and smoothly, allowing independent vehicle access and making it ideal for indoor environments such as above-ground parking lots and underground garages in shopping malls. With its simple structure and comprehensive safety features, it ensures high reliability and requires no specialized operator training.Our pit car lift systems incorporate multiple protection mechanisms to address unexpected situations. The overload protection system automatically detects excessive loads, halts operation, and locks the system to safeguard both passengers and vehicles. Limit switches detect the platform’s upper and lower limits, automatically stopping and locking the platform when it reaches its maximum height. A mechanical safety device ensures secure positioning. The control box is strategically located for easy monitoring, while an integrated buzzer enhances operational visibility. Photoelectric sensors further improve safety—if a person or animal enters the operating area, an alarm is triggered, and the lift stops immediately.
Because the lift is installed within a pit, some users may worry about protecting the vehicle parked on the lower deck. To address this, the upper platform adopts a fully sealed, leak-proof design with a sloped drainage system that effectively isolates oil, rainwater, and snowmelt, ensuring that vehicles below remain dry and unaffected.
In addition to our reliable built-in double-deck parking systems, such as the PPL and PSPL series, we also offer puzzle-style parking systems to meet diverse space expansion needs. If you have a project in mind, please provide the site dimensions, vehicle types, number of required parking spaces, and other relevant technical parameters. We will customize the most efficient and cost-effective parking solution for your specific needs.
