Car Lift Car Elevators as the Perfect Solution for Construction Projects with Limited Space
Car Lift, the Space-Saving Car Parking Solution for Commercial Private Use
In confined spaces, our innovative car lift or car elevator offers the perfect lifting platform for your car. By eliminating corridors and access ramps, you optimize space utilization for your car or vehicle.
Car Lift in Front of Residential Building (Extended / Recessed into the Ground)
Our compact car lift design is flexibly adaptable to your individual needs and space conditions and enables easy parking even in confined garages or parking structures.
Our car lifts also offer a variety of options, such as a fully enclosed cabin for passenger transport or a car turntable within the elevator, which makes parking even easier. By mounting it on rollers and a slewing ring, the lift can be rotated around its own axis, thus meeting the requirements of a lifting table.
It is important to note that vehicle lifting platforms according to EN 1493 may not be used for these applications. Take advantage of our offer and benefit from our state-of-the-art car lift solutions for optimal space utilization in your parking garage or private garage. Thanks to our years of experience, our car lifts are particularly reliable and safe.
Areas of Application for Our Car Lift and Car Elevator
The hydraulic car lift, also known as a lifting platform, is an ideal solution for creating additional parking spaces in both private and commercial sectors.
For Private Use
Private individuals use the elevator, for example, as a retractable garage or underground garage to park their car in a space-saving manner.
For Commercial Use
In the commercial sector, the lifting platform is used in car dealerships for multi-story car exhibitions with high load capacity as well as in space-saving parking garages and by parking operators. Through the perfect alignment of the elevator with the existing infrastructure and workflows, you reduce unnecessary effort and ensure short downtimes to put the lifting platform efficiently into operation.
Our lifting platforms are ideal for car dealerships, parking garages, underground garages, and other commercial applications. We also offer customized solutions for increasing parking space utilization and optimizing space usage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Car Lifts
General Information
What is a Car Lift or a Retractable Garage?
A car lift is a system that transports vehicles in a space-saving manner into an underground garage or to another level. A retractable garage is a special form of car lift where the vehicle completely disappears into the ground. The platform cover (lid) can then be designed to be walkable or drivable.
Who Are Car Lifts or Retractable Garages Suitable For?
Our systems are ideal for private households with limited space, city villas, multi-family homes, and commercial properties. They offer an elegant solution, especially where a conventional driveway is not possible due to space or design reasons.
Are There Car Lifts With and Without Passenger Transport?
Yes, both options are possible.
- With Passenger Transport: The driver can remain seated in the vehicle during movement. This variant requires increased safety standards and additional technology, which is reflected in the price.
- Without Passenger Transport: More affordable, as less technology and fewer requirements are necessary. The structural situation influences which variant is possible. We would be pleased to advise you individually on this.
Technology Function
How Does a Car Lift or Car Elevator Work?
The vehicle is driven onto a platform, which is moved vertically by means of a hydraulic drive. Our systems are low-maintenance, reliable, and technically up-to-date.
Which Safety Features Are Integrated into a Retractable Garage?
Our retractable garages or car lifts include, among other things:
- Emergency Stop
- Light Barriers
- Overload Sensors
- Automatic Door Locks
- Emergency Operation in Case of Power Failure
Is the Technology of a Car Lift Maintenance-Intensive?
No. Our car lifts are designed for minimal maintenance. We recommend annual maintenance to ensure long-term operational reliability.
Planning Installation
How Much Space is Required for a Car Elevator?
This depends on the model and vehicle type. For a standard car lift, approximately 5.5 m in length and 2.85 m in width should be planned. Exact dimensions will be provided during the consultation.
Can a Car Lift Be Retrofitted?
Yes, many car lift models are suitable for retrofitting – provided that the structural conditions are met or can be adapted.
How Long Does a Project from Planning to Commissioning Take with Büter?
The average project duration is 20 to 25 weeks, depending on construction progress and the chosen model.
Costs Financing
What Does a Car Lift or a Retractable Garage Cost?
Costs depend on the model, features, and structural situation. Simple systems start at approx. €40,000. We would be pleased to provide you with an individual offer.
Operation Use
How Long Does a Lifting or Lowering Movement with a Vehicle Take?
Depending on the model, the process takes between 30 seconds and 1 minute.
Can the Lift Be Used Year-Round?
