Project Background
A busy workshop in Sydney faced a common challenge: more vehicles than parking and working space. The owner needed a solution to store vehicles vertically while maintaining workshop access. A double-deck scissor lift provided the answer.
Challenges
- Limited footprint: The workshop had a compact floor area with valuable ground space
- Vehicle storage: Multiple customer vehicles needed secure overnight storage
- Workshop access: The lift had to coexist with daily repair operations
- Load safety: Storing vehicles stacked required reliable, secure equipment
Solution
GP LIFT delivered a double-deck hydraulic scissor car lift:
- Platform size: 3000×6000 mm per deck
- Capacity: 2× 3 tons (one vehicle per deck)
- Drive: Hydraulic scissor mechanism with safety locks
- Safety: Safety interlock doors, emergency stop, and mechanical locking
Custom Features
- Two vehicle bays in the footprint of one, doubling storage capacity
- Stable scissor structure with mechanical safety locks at height
- Controls designed for simple, safe operation
- Surface-mounted installation with a low closed height
Results
- Doubled vehicle storage capacity in the same floor area
- Frees workshop space for repair operations during the day
- Secure overnight storage for customer vehicles
- Reliable daily operation with minimal maintenance
“We went from constant space pressure to having room to spare. The double-deck lift is the best investment we’ve made in the workshop.” — Owner, Harbour City Auto Works
