About the project.
The residential building at 11 Lewis St, Balgowlah, on Sydney’s Northern Beaches, has a row of Molnar car stackers in its basement car park.
Each stacker lifts one car on a platform so a second car can park in the space underneath, fitting two cars into each parking space. The stackers stand side by side along the car park wall.
Car stackers are dependent parking: the space underneath must be empty before the platform above can be raised or lowered.

Questions.
Something else you need to know? Ask our team.
Can the lower car drive out while the upper car is parked?
Yes. The lower car can leave at any time, but the platform above can only be lowered once the space underneath is empty.
Do car stackers need a pit?
No. The LASER-2.2 CP installs above ground with no pit.
How heavy a car can they lift?
Up to 3,000 kg on each platform.
What power and floor do they need?
415 V three-phase power at 10 amps, or an optional single-phase supply at 16 amps. The LASER-4.3 CP needs a 150 mm reinforced concrete slab of 25 MPa.
What warranty do they come with?
Three years, with a maintenance contract to keep the warranty valid. Spare parts are supported by a national service network.
