Autostacker A6S-OPT2 6,000 Lbs Fore Control Kit Parking Lift - 5175277

Autostacker is compact, which lets it fit in tighter spaces with ease. The potential downside of this: There are precious few inches to open a vehicle door when a car is pulled front-first into the lower space. With 8 extra inches for door clearance, the A6W offers more space for ingress and egress.

Additionally, the A6W offers a more spacious environment for vehicle loading on the top-level platform. Lower-level vehicles will pull into an equally roomy parking space that is protected by Autostacker's scissor superstructures. The extra-wide version of Autostacker remains an ideal home car lift for tight spaces and garages, and it lets homeowners maintain a clean, modern and sophisticated look to their garages.

Commercial Application

Commercial parking lots and valets need to be ready for anything: commuter sedans, trucks, SUVs, classics, exotics, etc. When space is limited and parking is tight, the only way to do that is with a string of parking lifts that can accommodate anything that comes their way. A wider lift offers commercial benefits to vehicles whether they're raised on the platform or parked in the lower level.

The upper level provides more room for wide vehicles, and the lower level has arguably the best benefit of all: additional door clearance. The PL-6SRX makes it that much easier to get in and out of a lower-level parked vehicle. Even though Autostacker comes standard with built-in rubber door protectors, the extra space further reduces the chances of damaging a customer's vehicle door.

Residential Application of a Wider Lift

Homeowners traditionally have a hard time finding a home car lift that checks all their boxes. A lift must be compact, safe, efficient and protective of the vehicles. Many people who collect cars are not mechanics, so home parking lifts need to be easy to use and require minimal maintenance. And of course, lift owners need to be able to comfortable enter and exit their vehicles.

Low Maintenance

Autostacker is built with uncompromisingly high-quality materials and rigorous engineering standards, and it could not be simpler to use. The PL-6SRX option is wider than the original Autostacker, so the full-length, galvanized and drip-proof loading platform is more accommodating for wide-body vehicles. There are no cables to replace or maintain, so the simplicity of the lift design means there's more time with zero scheduled maintenance.

Extra-Wide Autostacker Still Saves Space

Nothing could be more disappointing than measuring your vehicles only to find out they're just a bit too wide to fit on your Autostacker. It's equally frustrating when exiting wider vehicles and finding it's a difficult squeeze to get out. You want to save space, or you won't be able to fit a lift in your garage, but you can't do so at the expense of basic functionality.

The A6W smartly balances the need to save space with the need to fit wider vehicles. With the standard-size Autostacker is just about the size of a parking space, our extra-wide model is just slightly larger, but it makes a world of difference. Your parking lift will still fit in most home and commercial environments, and it still offers our patented completely collapsible design that promises maximum versatility, safety and ease-of-use.

Features

• There are enough features and cool parking lift tweaks on Autostacker to keep you safer, happier and better cared for than with virtually any home car lift out there. Everything about the Autostacker screams, “Upgrade!” From the impressive lift capacity and superior drive-through clearance to the simple, post-free design that fits in most parking spaces, this is the parking lift you want with all the protection you deserve.

• Want to change your oil or access the undercarriage of your car for routine maintenance and service? Autostacker's removable access panels permit operators at home or in the shop to get underneath the lift and get work done. The rugged diamond-plate welded-steel assembly replaces four of the standard galvanized decks. A lightweight, pull-out aluminum panel stows smartly in the middle but can be quickly removed. This kit is easy to install and maximizes the versatility of your lift and gives you more freedom to do what you want in the garage.

• 

• Most low-clearance parking lifts have pathetic weight capacities and are only suited for lightweight race cars, miniature hybrids and compacts. Not anymore. When you make Autostacker your home parking lift, you get enough storage capacity to lift light trucks and SUVs. Not to mention, nearly 8’ of clearance means most larger vehicles that weigh over 6,000 lbs. fit comfortably in the lower space.

• The hot-dipped galvanized platform of the Autostacker is coated in zinc to protect it from weather and the daily abuse of the most fast-paced home garages and commercial parking lots. Whether your parking lift is installed in a garage or in the great (urban) outdoors, our super-low-profile deck is gently inclined to permit safe, easy clearance for low-stance vehicles.

• The more lock positions on a lift, the less chance of catastrophe in the extremely rare event of mechanical or hydraulic failure. Autostacker offers five lock positions. Even at the lowest lock level, a low-standing car fits underneath the platform. The locks engage continuously as the parking lift rises, so there’s literally nothing you need to do other than press the Up and Down buttons to engage and release the locks.

• Autostacker is the ideal parking lift for home garages, as well as parking lots and structures of any size. Almost any vehicle glides easily onto the inclined, low-rise platform, and the seamless scissor structure fits comfortably in an average-sized parking space. The Autostacker boasts a fully collapsible design, which means zero posts or side columns to obstruct your space. A host of other exclusive features belong to this parking lift, all of which increase safety for you and your vehicles in as small a footprint as possible.

• When Autostacker lifts, you’ll notice a pair of patented rubber panels; these are our Door-sentry car door protectors. They offer true peace-of-mind when opening vehicle doors in the under parked position. If you’re in a rush and accidentally swing the door open, our door guards will significantly decrease the chance of dents, dings and scratches. These durable rubber strips fold seamlessly in and out of the collapsible parking lift design as it moves. You might even forget they’re there… until you need them.

• An easy-to-use, upfront console features highly visible, ergonomic push-button controls, including an emergency stop that immediately cuts power to the lift when pressed. The stand-up console contains the power unit and hydraulic tank. With a continuous hold on the Up button, Autostacker goes from “lowered to lift” in just 55 seconds.

• Only Autostacker has the world’s best fully collapsible scissor design. Our patented scissor arms contour to allow maximum entry and overhead clearance. In less than a minute, watch the arms unfold like magic. At the max rise level, most residential vehicles are able to park in the under position, protected from garage hazards of all sorts by the surrounding structure.
