The Auto Lift Car-Park-8 Basic is an 8,000 lb capacity four-post parking lift designed to maximize your garage space while delivering exceptional safety and reliability. Engineered with the professional enthusiast in mind, this storage and service lift combines smooth operation, robust construction, and intelligent safety features to provide years of dependable vehicle storage. Whether you're looking to double your garage capacity, free up floor space for a workshop, or create a convenient service platform, the Car-Park-8 Basic delivers professional-grade performance at an accessible price point.
Smooth operation and good looks make a great first impression, but it's the comprehensive safety features and exceptional durability that make the Deluxe Series the best choice in storage and service lifts. With 10 locking positions, an internal lock ladder safety system with auto-engage functionality, and aircraft-quality cables rated at 14,500 lbs, this lift is built to protect your investment and provide peace of mind every time you raise or lower a vehicle.
Safety is paramount in lift design, and the Car-Park-8 Basic excels with multiple redundant safety systems. The completely enclosed carriages protect all moving components and prevent accidental contact, while the internal lock ladder safety system features an auto-engage locking bar that activates automatically in the unlikely event of cable failure. This fail-safe design ensures your vehicle remains secure even if primary lifting systems are compromised.
The lift's extra large slider blocks provide exceptional stability during raising and lowering operations, eliminating unwanted movement or swaying. The 18-inch wide runways are formed from one-piece 3/16" non-skid diamond plate, offering superior traction and durability. Each runway spans 165.5 inches, accommodating a wide range of vehicles from compact sports cars to full-size trucks and SUVs. With 10 lock positions throughout the 74.8-inch lifting height, you can position your vehicle at the perfect working height or maximize overhead clearance for storage.
Operating the Car-Park-8 Basic is remarkably simple thanks to thoughtful design features. The lock release handle is conveniently located near the power unit, allowing single-person operation without walking around the lift. The large 3-inch diameter cylinder provides smooth, consistent lifting power, while the standard 110V-20 Amp single-phase power requirement means no expensive electrical upgrades are needed—simply plug into a standard dedicated circuit.
The lift's compact footprint makes efficient use of available space. With an overall width of 103.5 inches and a drive-thru width of 80 inches, it fits comfortably in most two-car garages while still providing 37.2 inches of clearance between the runways. The clearance under the runways measures 70 inches, creating usable workspace or additional vehicle storage beneath the lifted car. Column height reaches 86 inches, with 94.4 inches of clearance between columns to accommodate wider vehicles.
Enhance your Car-Park-8 Basic with a range of practical accessories designed to increase functionality and convenience:
Jack Tray
Keep your tools organized and within reach! This convenient tray mounts securely to the lift, providing a dedicated space for floor jacks, jack stands, tools, and accessories. No more searching for equipment—everything you need is right where you work.
One-Step Poly Caster Kit
Set of 4 heavy-duty casters that transform your lift into a mobile storage solution. Easy to install with no tools required—simply pin them on, lower the lift, and the casters automatically lift the columns off the ground. Turn your lift sideways to park two vehicles underneath, maximizing your garage's storage capacity. Perfect for seasonal vehicle rotation or creating flexible workspace.
Stackable Poly Drip Trays (Set of 3)
Protect your floor and vehicles from drips and leaks with these lightweight polyethylene trays. The stackable design is brilliant—simply slide them to the back of the runway and stack when not in use! Available in 8-inch or 12-inch widths to match your needs. Essential for long-term vehicle storage or service work.
Aluminum Approach Ramps
Upgrade to these premium lightweight ramps that weigh only 18 lbs each—compared with the 53 lbs of standard steel ramps. The aluminum construction makes them incredibly easy to position and remove, while still providing robust support for your vehicles. Perfect for lowered cars or vehicles requiring a gentler approach angle.
