What Is a Car Elevator?

A car elevator is a high-capacity elevator system designed for transporting automobiles and light commercial vehicles between floors. Used in underground parking entrances, multi-story parking facilities, auto service centers, and automotive factories, car elevators are essential infrastructure for modern urban development. In Istanbul's dense urban fabric, the use of car elevators in underground parking structures is steadily increasing due to space constraints.

Car Elevator Types

Hydraulic Car Elevator

Operating with high-capacity pistons, this type is ideal for 2 to 4 floor applications. It requires minimal pit depth and offers high load capacity. It is the preferred choice for numerous underground parking projects in Istanbul and across Turkey.

Traction Car Elevator

Preferred for higher-floor applications (5 floors and above), this system operates with steel ropes. It offers energy efficiency advantages over hydraulic systems for taller installations.
