HOW MUCH DOES A CAR ELEVATOR COST?
The price of a car elevator varies depending on multiple parameters such as the difference in height to be overcome, capacity, dimensions, number of stops and finishes.
Every single elevator is tailor-made and made up of over 300 carefully selected components to combine the useful and the beautiful in compliance with the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
Compliance with the machinery directive represents a price variable because, for safety reasons, it requires that man-on-board systems be certified, giving rise to a possible additional cost.
Again for safety reasons, to date, it has not been possible to create car elevators that work automatically without the need to constantly hold down a button. Today IdealPark is also able to satisfy this need: some models can be equipped with an automatic system. Request a personalized quote to find out more.
Furthermore, it is useful to remember that IdealPark only produces hydraulic car elevators with a mechanical structure with lateral columns and not a pantograph. This company policy was pursued due to greater safety and energy efficiency of the system and a lower cost for ordinary and extraordinary maintenance for users. unlike other types of car elevators, our lateral column models can in fact be renewed in their mechanical parts thanks to modernizations, bringing the system back to its perfect functionality even after several years, without having to replace the entire mechanical system.
The investment in a car elevator must in fact be evaluated not only with respect to the immediate cost, but also with respect to the future one.
From this point of view it is useful to remember that:
- The construction does not require additional permits compared to the classic building project
- It has reduced maintenance and spare parts costs
- It is an economically and environmentally more competitive solution than the creation of an unsightly traditional ramp, allowing the optimization of the available spaces

Frequently asked questions
WHAT ARE CAR LIFTS FOR?
Car lifts are alternative solutions to the conventional access ramp of a garage or to a different level of a car park. Some buildings are planning roof car parks. The car lift therefore performs a linking function.
Hence it is installed where, for space reasons, a ramp can not be built. This is the case for historic centres of towns and cities.
In other cases it is chosen to maximise the space that would be lost by creating a ramp, therefore obtaining a greater number of parking spaces.
Choosing a car lift may also be for aesthetic reasons. The lift becomes an alternative solution to the ramp that combines functionality and aesthetics while keeping and dedicating all the outdoor space to gardens or courtyards. The result is an invisible car lift, with a covering roof resembling the rest of the garden/courtyard.
This type of solution, the car lift with covering roof, blends in perfectly with the style of the building, giving a sense of order, elegance and a new and well-organised spatial arrangement.
Finally the car lift plays a protective role for cars parked in a basement. Besides being camouflaged in a different level, cars are only available one at a time, and only by using an encoded key or badge that allows you to operate the system. In this way the garage is private and secure.
CAR LIFT WITH DRIVER ON BOARD
Why is it necessary to keep the button pressed once inside the lift? Isn't there any other system for operating the car lift?
The safety regulations of the 2006-42-EC Machinery Directive, for safety reasons, require that the user, when on the platform, holds down the button for the entire duration of the lift's journey when carrying people if the compartment is not completely enclosed, i.e. without cabin doors. Lifting platforms for people also fall under the same regulation and are operated with a dead-switch command when they have no cabin doors.
From the outside of the platform, the car lift movement can be automatic, by pressing the button once.
For platforms with railings (or positioned in fully enclosed compartments) it is possible
to call the lift from outside by pressing the button only once from the floor panel or by using the remote control.
CAR LIFT IN CASE OF BLACK OUT
What happens to the car lift if there is a power cut?
In the event of black out the person does not remain trapped on board the platform as they will always be freed. IdealPark car lifts come with a UPS device that allows the lift to descend and the doors to open even in the absence of electricity.
Systems with people on board are also equipped with an acoustic alarm and telephone (like with conventional lifts for people). The telephone allows the user to contact the operations centre to alert the technical service, identifying the system from the telephone number.
It is also possible to install a generator unit. When the generator unit automatically enters into operation, all operations are guaranteed 24-hour even in the event of a power failure.
CAR LIFT AND LOW TEMPERATURES
Can the car lift encounter problems due to low temperatures or snow during the winter?
The hydraulic control unit of the car lift is equipped with a heating probe to keep the system oil warm to avoid the risk of freezing and subsequent stoppages.
In countries with frequent snowfall, it is advisable to install heating resistors under the roof paving to prevent snow from accumulating.
It is also possible to use special oils suitable for particularly low temperatures. In addition, by setting the automatic return to the lowest floor, the amount of oil present in the pipes is reduced, so that the heating probe is more effective.
The models particularly recommended for very low temperature environments are: IP1-HMT V08, IP1-HMT V07 in the version with enclosed compartment and models with covering roof IP1- CM MOB, IP1 - CM FF42, IP1 - CM MOB 2.
RISKS IN CASE OF RAIN
What happens if there is heavy rain? Is there a risk of flooding?
Each IdealPark car lift with covering roof comes fitted with perimetral guttering to collect rainwater.
In the four corners the guttering has drains to channel water into the sewer system.
In the bottom of the pit, however, there must be a well with a safety electric pump. IdealPark car lifts are hot galvanised, both indoor and outdoor versions, to ensure a longer service life against corrosion.
IdealPark car lifts without covering roof, model IP1-HMT V07 (IP1-HMT V08 is practically always in enclosed compartments) can have the roof (as optional) and the drainage of water into the compartment is performed through drainage well.
CAR LIFT STOPS: WHAT SHOULD I DO?
What if the car lift stops or breaks down?
If the car lift stops due to a power cut, there is no problem because it is possible to use the UPS system.
If it stops for other reasons, technical assistance must be called, as is the case for conventional lifts. Driver on board systems are equipped with acoustic alarms and telephone (like with lifts for people). The telephone allows the user to contact the operations centre to alert the technical service, identifying the system from the telephone number.
All IdealPark car lifts are equipped with a standard display on the electrical panel that reports the status of the system and the type of malfunction with an error code. This allows the problem to be often resolved with simple operations that are the main causes of malfunction, without having to wait for a technician to arrive: removing leaves or objects from the safety photocell barriers, checking if the stop button is pressed or checking if the key is inserted on a different floor than the one where the lift is.
It is also possible to equip the system with remotely operated assistance, which allows to check the status of the system directly from the 24-hour operations centre.
CAR LIFT MAINTENANCE COSTS
Are maintenance and repair costs for a broken down car lift very high?
Maintenance and repair costs of IdealPark car lifts are similar to those of a conventional lift for people.
RESPONSE TIME IN THE EVENT OF A STOPPED CAR LIFT
Is it necessary to contact IdealPark in the event of a car lift breaking down?
In the case of systems installed abroad are the response times slow since the manufacturer is located in Italy?
IdealPark's headquarters are in Italy, but we are present in over 20 countries with qualified dealers that can ensure prompt assistance and 24-7 support.
THE SPEED OF A CAR LIFT
Current legislation, the Machinery Directive 2006-42-EC, outlines for safety reasons that the maximum speed of a car lift is 9 metres per minute.
The legislation covers the European Union. In other countries the speed may be higher and local regulations should be checked.
CAR LIFTS AND CLAUSTROPHOBIA
Are there solutions for those afraid of closed spaces?
For those who suffer from claustrophobia it is possible to build car lifts with a view of outside. A metalwork supporting structure can be created with safety glass panels, as is the case for lifts for people.
A metalwork and glass structure also allows to reduce the space of the compartment, saving space.
CAR LIFT COVERING ROOF
What materials can be used to pave the car lift roof?
Car lifts with covering roof are an alternative solution to ramps, which combine functionality and aesthetics, reserving and dedicating all outside space to gardens or courtyards. It is possible to pave the roof lift in any material to contribute to making it totally invisible and obtaining a prestigious finish. The covering roof of the IdealPark car lift can be covered in keeping with the tones and appearance of the building to blend in perfectly (standard maximum load bearing capacity of 150 kg per sqm).
The thickness of the paving must be approximately 9 centimetres.
The weight of the paving for models IP1-CM MOB-XL is 90 kg/sqm and the thickness of the paving is reduced to 7 cm.
The materials most often used by our customers are grass, marble, porphyry, teak and stone.
