Four Ways in Which a Car Elevator Can Benefit Your Property

A car elevator may seem like an expensive luxury. However, if your building requires any kind of vehicle storage or parking, it could prove to be a huge asset. Here are some of the ways in which a car elevator can be a benefit.

Less Space

The first benefit is that a car elevator takes up less space than a ramp. If cars have to drive up and down a multi-storey building to park, the ramp will need to have two lanes and will probably extend for some distance. A car elevator takes up a lot less room - not much more than a single parking space. The extra space that is saved can be used to provide extra parking - with a resultant increase in revenue.

Use the Roof

A second advantage is that a car elevator helps you take advantage of a flat roof. As long as the roof is strong enough, the lift will help to transform it into a parking facility without having to make expensive modifications to the building. Flat roofs are often wasted space in a building, so being able to transform one into a car park can be a huge bonus.

Display Vehicles

This is a benefit for car dealerships. It is difficult to sell a car that isn't on display, but many vehicles have to be stored around the back or in car parks that aren't immediately accessible to the general public. By installing a car elevator, you immediately have options to display your vehicles on the upper floors. From here they will be visible from outside the building and are still fairly easy to get to. They are also easy to manoeuvre outside the building when a customer wants a test drive.

Increase Building Value

Finally, whatever type of business you run or building you own, a car elevator will always add value to your building. The ability to move vehicles to an upper parking space easily will be extremely popular when it comes to selling your property, which will attract more prospective buyers and increase the price of the building. The cost of installing one will be more than repaid in the increase in the value of the property.

Car elevators immediately add many other options for parking and storing vehicles that would not normally be available. If you would like to know more about adding one to your building, just talk to an elevator service today.
