Autostacker™ Parking Lift 6 P/N 5900002 — Rev. D — August 2019
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: What kinds of Vehicles is Autostacker designed for?
Answer: Autostacker is designed for cars, light trucks, and SUVs.
Q: Why is the Platform angled?
A: The angled Platform allows low-profile Vehicles to drive directly onto the Platform without scraping.
Q: How high does my garage ceiling have to be to use Autostacker?
A: Autostacker works great with ceilings as low as 10 feet. However, the height of the ceiling does
impact what cars you can park on the Lift. Refer to Will My Car Fit? for complete information.
Q: Can I put the Console on either side of the Autostacker?
A: Yes. The included Hydraulic Hoses are long enough to support the Console being up to 30 inches
away on either side. If you want, you could go to your local hydraulics shop and get longer, custom-
made Hydraulic Hoses that give you greater latitude for where you put your Console. Remember that
the operator
must
be able to see both the Autostacker and the area around it, for safety purposes.
Make sure to cover the Hydraulic Hoses once they are installed.
Q: Does it matter if I drive my vehicles in straight or back them in?
A: No, Autostacker works great either way. For the Vehicle
on
the Platform, make sure the wheels are
in the Tire Trough, whichever direction you drive it on. For the Vehicle
under
the Platform, put it in
whichever direction makes it easier to open the doors. Note that it is not required that you drive your
under Vehicle all the way underneath the Platform; for some Vehicles, opening the doors is easier if you
only drive part way in.
Q: Can Autostacker be installed outside?
A: Yes, but the Lift is designed for indoor installation, so there are some additional things you will need
to do; cover the Console, put a canopy over the Lift, keep it clean and dry, and increase maintenance.

techsupport@bendpak.com, or via phone (800) 253-2363 for additional information.
Q: How long can I leave a Vehicle raised on the Autostacker?
A: As long as you want,
if it is engaged on a Safety Lock
. Autostacker is great for storage in any
condition, long or short-term.
Q: Can I change the oil on the Vehicle raised on the Autostacker?
A: Yes; the optional Access Panel gives you access to the underside of the Vehicle that is raised,
making your parking lift into a service lift as well. Each Access Panel works in place of three Platform
sections and you can install up to two access panels per Autostacker.
Q: How many Lifts can be supported by the Master Power Unit?
A: The Master Power Unit can support up to 12 Autostacker Lifts, although
only one Lift can be
raised and lowered at a time
.
