Autostacker™ Parking Lift 16 P/N 5900248 — Rev. B — May 2021
Position the Autostacker Components
When the Lift components are delivered to the site, try to have them placed near where you will be
installing the unit.
⚠ CAUTION Some of the Autostacker components are heavy and can damage materials like tile,
sandstone, and brick if not handled correctly. You must have a Forklift or Shop
Crane to move them into position. Try to handle the Autostacker components only
twice: once when delivered and once when moved into position.
Autostacker components include:
• Two Leg Assemblies: Each Leg Assembly includes a Base, Leg, Hydraulic Cylinder, and
Platform Arm.
• Bottom Connector Tube: Connects to the Leg Assembly Bases. The Hydraulic Hoses and the
Return Line are routed through the hollow Bottom Connector Tube.
• Top Connector Tube: Connects to the Leg Assembly Platform Arms. Also attaches to the Tire
Trough.
• Tire Trough: A single piece with a lowered portion (to hold the Vehicle’s tires from moving, which
holds the Vehicle in place). Attaches to the Top Connector Tube and the first Platform section at
the front of the Autostacker.
• Platform: Made up of galvanized steel sections that are bolted together.
• Ramp: A single piece, angled for easy drive-up.
To move the Leg Assemblies into position:
1. Use a Forklift or Shop Crane to move the Leg Assembles into position based on the Chalk Lines.
The Leg Assemblies go on the
inside
of the Chalk Lines.
⚠ CAUTION Some of the Autostacker components are heavy and can damage materials like tile,
sandstone, and brick if not handled correctly. Move the Leg Assemblies with care
so that you do not cause damage to the surface.
2. Double check to make sure the Leg Assemblies are correctly positioned with the Door-Sentry
car-door protectors on the inside; the Leg Assemblies are
not
interchangeable.
Attach the Bottom and Top Connector Tubes
The Bottom Connector Tube holds the bottom of the Autostacker structure together. It is hollow,
allowing the Hydraulic Hoses and the Return Line to be routed through it.
The Top Connector Tube holds the top of the Autostacker structure together. Each end of the Top
Connector Tube connects to the corresponding end of a Platform Arm.
If you have a
Multi-Autostacker
setup and plan to position the Control Stand at the
Rear
of the
Lift, see Multi-Autostacker for modified instructions.
To attach the Bottom and Top Connector Tubes:
1. Move the Bottom Connector Tube into position: on the ground at the front of the Lift.
Important: The Bottom Connector Tube must be oriented so that the smaller gap must be at the
top and the larger gap must be at the bottom.
If you cannot push the Bolts
through the Bottom Connector Tube and into the holes on the base of
the Leg Assembly, it is probably because you have the Bottom
Connector Tube oriented wrong.
