PL-6000DC/DCX Two-Post Parking Lift 12 P/N 5900273 — Rev. A6 —July 2024
Will My Car Fit?
Your Lift accommodates a wide variety of cars, light trucks, and SUVs.
Width
Considerations for Vehicle width include:
• Platform width. The outside dimension of your
tires cannot be wider than listed above. All four tires
must rest fully on the Platform; they cannot be ride
on the side structure or on the Drive-up Ramp.
Always center your Vehicles on the Platform.
• Mirrors. Mirrors and other accessories may mean that some parts of a Vehicle are much wider
than the rest of the Vehicle. Parking lifts are designed to have lots of open space, but if you are
parking Vehicles next to each other that both have wide mirrors or other accessories, verify they do
not hit each other.
• Car doors. Opening Vehicle doors makes the Vehicle wider while they are open. Generally, you
want to avoid opening the doors of multiple Vehicles parked next to each other at the same time.
You cannot open a car door while the Vehicle is raised, so this is not an issue for raised Vehicles.
Length
Considerations for Vehicle length include:
• Platform length. The usable length of the Platform is 146 inches (3,700 mm); your
wheelbase cannot be longer than this. All four tires must rest fully on the Platform; they
cannot be on the Ramp or beyond the Tire Stop.
• Overhang. If a Vehicle’s tires are fully on the Platform, then the parts of the Vehicle hanging over
the Back Stop or the Ramp are not a concern, as long as they do not hit the Lift Posts or any other
obstruction.
Height
Considerations for Vehicle height include:
Ceiling height. A typical ceiling height as shown in the figure below is approximately 170 inches
(4,320 mm). The height of your ceiling determines how much space you can allocate to the two
Vehicles. If you want to park a tall Vehicle on a Platform
and
under the Platform, your ceiling is
going to have to be higher than if you want to park two low-slung Vehicles.
