3,000 kg car lift for an apartment complex

01 · IN BRIEF
Project at a glance
What was built, where, and why, all in one place.
Client
An owners' association (VvE) of an apartment complex.
Lift type
Hydraulic car lift with passenger transport capability and four cylinders.
Old lift
Over 20 years old and worn out, replaced within the existing shaft.
Load
Cars up to 3,000 kg, including heavy electric vehicles, plus the driver.
Doors
Automatic roller doors on both floors.
Operation
Called via remote control, operated using the panel inside the lift.
02 · THE CHALLENGE
The only way to the underground car park
Residents can only access the underground car park with their cars via the lift. The old car lift was worn out and no longer met their requirements.
The new lift had to fit into the existing shaft and be able to handle heavy electric cars.
Client requirements
- Reuse of the existing shaft
- Suitable for heavy electric cars
- The driver remains in the car
- Comfortable entry and exit
- Reliable, even in winter
03 · THE SOLUTION
A car lift with four cylinders
Hublift removed the old lift and installed a new hydraulic car lift in the existing shaft. With a 3,000 kg lifting capacity, even the heaviest electric cars can be transported.
The four-cylinder design makes the platform very stable. A shallow pit in the basement ensures the lift aligns perfectly with the floor. A hydraulic block with multiple valves ensures smooth movement.

04 · SAFE TO USE
Stay seated, yet safe
Extra safety components ensure the driver can remain seated while the lift moves. The lift only moves as long as the button is pressed.
In an emergency, the driver has direct contact via the built-in emergency communication system. In the event of a power failure, an emergency battery lowers the lift.

Lights indicate if the car is positioned correctly. The lift can only move once both lights are green.
Operate from the car
The driver operates the lift from the driver's seat. There is no need to get out.
Automatic roller door
The roller doors open automatically when the lift arrives. They are closed using a button inside the lift.
Control panel
There is a panel on both sides of the lift, mounted on a 110 cm high guard.
Hold button down
The lift moves as long as the driver keeps the button pressed. Releasing it stops the lift immediately.
