5 Tons Two-Level Vehicle Scissor Lift | USA Parking Case Study

Overview

This project: involves a customized two-level vehicle scissor lift for export to the United States, primarily used to optimize parking space and enable double-decker vehicle parking.

The Client: Is an end-user in the USA who conducted their own site measurements and repeatedly confirmed the design dimensions, reflecting a high degree of customization and client involvement.

The equipment must meet export sea freight container loading requirements, with the main structure width limited to under 2 meters.

Key Features

High Space Efficiency: The two-level scissor design doubles the number of parking spaces within the same footprint, effectively addressing parking space shortages.
Customization & Precise Fit: All structural dimensions (especially pit dimensions) were repeatedly confirmed by the client, ensuring perfect compatibility with the site’s civil works and reducing installation difficulty and risk.
Export-Adaptive Design:
- Electrical Compatibility: Uses US-standard 230V/60Hz single-phase motor, eliminating the need for client-side electrical modifications.
- Shipping Optimization: Main structure width is strictly controlled under 2 meters for easy loading into standard containers, reducing international logistics cost and complexity.
Heavy-Duty Load & Stable Structure: The 5500 kg total load capacity, combined with heavy-duty channel steel/rectangular tube framing and large-diameter cylinders, ensures stable, smooth, and safe operation suitable for frequent vehicle access.
Compact Design: The low self-height of 635 mm reduces the required pit depth, broadening the range of suitable installation sites.
