An underground car lift platform, also known as a pit-style scissor car lift, is a specialized hydraulic lifting system designed to transport vehicles vertically between different levels — typically between a ground-level driveway and an underground or upper-level parking space.

This type of lift is installed within a pre-constructed pit or recessed area in the floor, allowing the platform to stay flush with the ground when not in use, offering a seamless and space-saving parking solution.

Key Features

Hydraulic Scissor Mechanism: The lift uses a stable and powerful scissor structure powered by hydraulic cylinders to move vehicles safely and smoothly.

Flush-Mount Design: When the lift is lowered, it sits level with the surrounding floor, allowing full use of the space above.

Customizable Sizes: Platforms can be built to accommodate different vehicle sizes, weights, and lifting heights — including single, double, or even triple-level car lift configurations.

Heavy-Duty Construction: Built with reinforced steel, anti-slip platforms, and safety features like mechanical locks and limit switches.

Typical Applications

Underground car lift platforms are ideal for a wide range of scenarios:

Private Villas and Luxury Homes: Maximize parking space discreetly while maintaining elegant landscaping.

Automotive Dealerships (4S Shops): Move cars between showroom levels or maintenance bays efficiently.

Commercial Buildings & Hotels: Add parking capacity without expanding above ground.

Underground Parking Garages: Improve vehicle flow and minimize ramp space usage.
