Realistic collector garage with a four-post storage lift, one vehicle elevated, and one parked below

Protect the collection.
Multiply the space.

Coordinate vehicle storage lifts, structural conditions, clearances, lighting, floor systems, power, detailing, and presentation without treating the lift as isolated equipment.

01

Plan the lift envelope first

Vehicle dimensions, post footprint, slab, ceiling, door travel, opener position and walking clearance are resolved before equipment is ordered.

Store two vehicles safely

A believable storage-lift bay preserves runway access, mechanical locks, service clearance, lighting, cabinets and a usable path through the room.

Permit + license screening

Scope first.
Authority clear.

Garage Craftors designs and coordinates the complete project. Before final pricing, we screen the scope for building, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, structural and equipment permits.

  • Regulated work is performed by appropriately licensed trade partners.
  • Each responsible contractor obtains the permit for its trade when required.
  • The proposal identifies who supplies, installs, permits, inspects and warrants each scope.
  • Customers are not asked to pull permits on our behalf.

Make the garage
earn its space.

Tell us about the room, current conditions, equipment, budget, and outcome. We will organize the first responsible path.
