A car elevator is an elevator designed to move vehicles vertically.

Vehicles are transported vertically inside buildings using car elevators. In parking lots and garages, these lifts enable more vehicles to be parked. These parking systems can reduce overall costs when the cost of real estate is high by using less land to park the same number of cars.

In garages and repair shops, vehicle lifts are used to access a car’s undercarriage. They lift the car from its center of gravity.
