Will My Cars Fit?
The Autostacker accommodates a wide variety of cars, light trucks, and SUVs. This section describes
how to get wider, longer, and taller Vehicles onto your Autostacker.
Width
Considerations for Vehicle width include:
•
Platform width
. The width from the outside of the left tires to the outside of the right tires cannot
exceed the width of the Platform. The tires must fit on the Autostacker Platform.
•
Mirrors
. Mirrors and other accessories may mean that some parts of a Vehicle are much wider
than the tires of the Vehicle. This is generally not a problem on a raised Vehicle, but should be
taken into consideration for Vehicles being parked under the Autostacker.
• Doors . Opening car doors makes the Vehicle wider while they are open. If opening Vehicle doors
is an issue, try driving in the Vehicle in the other direction. Autostacker Legs have Door-sentry car
door protectors, which limit problems if a door does contact an Autostacker Leg.
Length
Considerations for Vehicle length include:
•
Vehicle wheelbase
. Vehicles that get raised on the Platform must have one set of wheels in the
Tire Trough and the other set on the Platform itself.
• Overhang . If a Vehicle’s wheelbase fits on the Platform, then any overhanging parts of the Vehicle
outside the wheelbase are not an issue.
Height
Considerations for Vehicle height include:
•
Ceiling height
. The height of the ceiling determines how much space you have for the two
Vehicles. If you want to park both a tall Vehicle on and under your Autostacker, your ceiling needs
to be higher than if you want to park two low-slung Vehicles.
• Formula . There’s a formula for figuring out how high a ceiling you need.
Height of Vehicle on Platform + 16 inches + Safety Lock height
For example
: Say you have a 2017 Camaro and a 2017 Toyota Camry. The Camry is 58 inches
high, the Camaro is 53 inches. If you want the Camry under the Platform and the Camaro on it, the
formula would be 53 + 16 + 65.75 (fourth Safety Lock) = 134.75 inches. If you have a 12 foot high
ceiling, you have 144 inches to use, so this combination would fit fine.
The 16 inch figure includes the height of the Platform plus the height needed to raise the Lift off of
the Safety Lock. Note this figure is a rough estimate, for calculation purposes only.
⚠
CAUTION We recommend double checking your ceiling and Vehicle heights before raising a
Vehicle on the Autostacker Platform.
Be especially vigilant the first time
you raise a particular Vehicle!
No one wants to see the roof of their Vehicle
make contact with the ceiling. Use the Emergency Stop button if necessary.
