Autostacker

What Autostacker does

Autostacker Inc. designs and sells fully collapsible scissor-style parking lift systems that stack two vehicles vertically in a single parking footprint, serving residential homeowners, car collectors, and commercial parking operators. The company's core technology is a tandem direct-drive hydraulic cylinder system concealed within paired scissor structures, providing synchronized and balanced lifting with five automatic safety lock positions and a self-resetting velocity fuse. All models share a 6,000-lb lifting capacity, a rise time of 45–55 seconds at 220V, and a patented collapsible architecture (US D827,241 S) with no side posts, fitting into a standard parking space without special foundation requirements. The product line consists of two platform widths — A6S (standard) and A6W (extra-wide, 8 inches wider for door clearance) — each available in indoor and hot-dipped galvanized outdoor variants (A6S-G, A6W-G), with optional access panels for undercar maintenance and a multi-unit master power unit supporting up to 12–14 lifts per motor for commercial deployments.

The business is structured as a wholly-owned subsidiary of BendPak Inc., the leading distributor of car lifts and automotive service equipment, and the company is headquartered at 1645 Lemonwood Drive, Santa Paula, California. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales priced between $13,195 and $16,695 per unit, distributed via a hybrid model combining direct e-commerce (autostacker.com), phone-based inside sales for commercial accounts, and an authorized dealer/distributor network. The GTM motion is sales-led with both B2C and B2B components, supported by social media presence across Facebook, Instagram, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn, plus a Buyer’s Guide and tradeshow participation. Named commercial customers include Park & Zoom (commercial parking services) and Hamilton Volvo (automotive retail), alongside unnamed luxury private collectors. Operating geographies extend beyond the United States into the Middle East (Qatar) and Southeast Asia (Malaysia) via international sales representatives.

Broad incumbents

• BendPak: BendPak is Autostacker's parent company and a leading distributor of car lifts and automotive service equipment. It manufactures a broader portfolio of two-post, four-post, and specialty vehicle lifts, giving it overlapping capabilities but a much wider scope than Autostacker's focused parking lift niche.
• Rotary Lift: Rotary Lift is a long-established manufacturer of vehicle lifts (two-post, four-post, scissor, mobile column) primarily for automotive service facilities. It addresses overlapping hydraulic lifting technology and customer segments (dealerships, service shops) but does not specialize in parking stacker lifts.
• Stertil-Koni: Stertil-Koni manufactures heavy-duty vehicle lifts including mobile column lifts, platform lifts, and scissor lifts for trucks, buses, and commercial fleets. Its hydraulic and scissor lift technology overlaps with Autostacker, though Stertil-Koni focuses on heavier commercial vehicles rather than passenger car parking.
• Autoquip: Autoquip manufactures industrial hydraulic scissor lift tables, tilters, and material handling lifts. While its focus is industrial/material handling rather than passenger vehicle parking, its core hydraulic scissor lift technology and OEM manufacturing model overlap with Autostacker's engineering approach.

Direct peers

• ParkPlus: ParkPlus manufactures and installs a range of mechanical and hydraulic parking lifts (single, double, stacker, and dependent systems) for residential and commercial use. It directly competes with Autostacker in the low-profile stacker parking lift category serving developers, valet operators, and private garages.
• KLAUS Multiparking: KLAUS Multiparking designs and manufactures automated and semi-automated parking systems, including stacker and puzzle lifts for residential and commercial buildings. It competes with Autostacker for the same vertical parking density use case but skews toward more automated configurations.
• Mohawk Lift: Mohawk Lift manufactures a range of vehicle lifts including two-post, four-post, scissor, and parking lifts for residential and commercial applications. Its parking lift product line directly competes with Autostacker for homeowner and small commercial stacker use cases.
• Challenger Lifts: Challenger Lifts produces vehicle lifts and storage lifts for automotive service, dealerships, and residential applications. It offers overlapping hydraulic lifting technology and competes in the residential garage lift and parking stacker categories.
• Direct Lift: Direct Lift is a U.S. distributor and manufacturer of two-post, four-post, scissor, and parking lifts for residential garages and commercial shops. It directly competes with Autostacker in the residential and small commercial stacker lift market through both branded and private-label offerings.

Emerging players

• U-tron: U-tron develops automated robotic parking systems including stacker and puzzle lifts for urban residential and commercial developments. It is an emerging alternative to manual hydraulic stackers like Autostacker, particularly in new-build dense urban projects where full automation is desired.
