Australia’s love of cars is incontestable. With around 12 million passenger vehicles populating Australia’s roads - a figure that is growing each year at a rapid rate – this number will increase, as will the demand for car storage and parking space[1]. Furthering this, with Australia’s population steadily growing and denser living an undeniable trend in the rental and home-buying market,  storage space is also becoming increasingly hard to locate, and even more expensive to fund.

During the year that ended 31st March, Australia’s population increased by 1.7%. With an average of more than one car per two people throughout the country, more and more people are prepared to pay big dollars to ensure their vehicles are safe, secure and accessible.

Inner-city living is resulting in smaller, narrower car spaces and garages where maximising usable space is a necessity.

In fact, planning regulations are changing where new medium and high density apartment developments only provide tenants with a fraction of on-site parking that we have seen in the past. Developers are tending to move this way as it frees up more space to put in more units, encroaching on space that was once used for however the tenant saw fit.

Once seen only in mechanics’ bays and workshops, four-post automotive lifts are available to the private home owner. Effectively doubling the storage capacity of a garage, car hoists are a viable solution where no building permits are necessary, you will not have to dig into existing floor to accommodate the lift and they are exceptionally economical.

Car hoists are an ideal solution where space is limited.
