Cardok

What Cardok does

Cardok SA is a Swiss private company, founded in 2005 and headquartered in Mont-sur-Rolle, Switzerland, that designs, engineers, manufactures, transports, and installs bespoke luxury automotive lifting and storage systems for high-end residential properties. The company serves ultra-high-net-worth homeowners, luxury property developers, and rental property investors with a portfolio of proprietary products including the CarLift (a hydraulic elevator allowing vehicles to descend to underground parking while occupied), CarSafe (an underground vehicle storage system that conceals cars beneath gardens or courtyards), CarPark (a vertical stacking mechanism), Turntable (a 360-degree rotating platform with up to 3,000 kg capacity), and Slider (a horizontal vehicle repositioning system), as well as a Special Projects line for non-standard bespoke applications.

All products are custom designed and assembled in-house in the company's Swiss workshop, and the company operates its own transport fleet and specialized installation technicians. Pricing is quote-based per project with no publicly disclosed price list, and the sales motion is consultative and end-to-end — beginning with a free consultation, moving through custom design and engineering, and concluding with on-site installation and ongoing support. Cardok generates revenue exclusively through one-time project sales of these custom systems.

Geographically, Cardok has completed projects across at least 10 countries in Europe, Oceania, and Asia, and has supplemented direct Swiss sales with authorized regional distributors in Benelux (Albyco Belgium), New Zealand (Automated Parking Solutions Ltd), and Singapore (Swee Hin Elevator Pte Ltd). The company is co-founded and led by Patrick (visionary/creative force) and Monika (operations and finance), with 11-50 employees, no external institutional funding, and a privately held ownership structure.

Core offering

Cardok designs, engineers, manufactures, transports, and installs bespoke automotive lift and storage systems for luxury residential properties. Its products — CarLift, CarSafe, CarPark, Turntable, Slider, and Special Projects — combine hydraulic, underground, vertical, rotational, and horizontal vehicle movement technologies to maximize parking capacity and protect high-value vehicles while remaining architecturally hidden. Each system is custom designed and built in-house in Switzerland and delivered via direct consultative sales and regional distributors.

Product overview

Cardok offers a portfolio of high-tech, hidden underground parking and vehicle storage systems designed for luxury residential properties. The product lineup centers on three core mechanisms: the CarLift (hydraulic elevator for underground access), the CarSafe/CarPark (underground storage solutions that double parking capacity), and the Turntable/Slider (vehicle movement systems for confined spaces). All products feature Swiss precision engineering, customizable finishes, and seamless architectural integration. The portfolio also includes Special Projects for bespoke solutions beyond standard configurations.

Products and services

• Cardok CarLift Cardok CarLift is a hydraulic car lift that transports vehicles vertically between ground level and underground parking facilities. Users can drive directly onto the lift platform and descend to a secure underground space without leaving the vehicle. The lowered platform integrates seamlessly into its surroundings with no visible structural impact, with customizable finishes to match the property's architecture and landscape. It is intended for luxury homeowners, property developers, and rental property investors.
• Cardok CarSafe Cardok CarSafe is an underground vehicle storage system that conceals one or more vehicles beneath the surface — whether beneath a garden, courtyard, or driveway — when lowered. It doubles the effective use of outdoor space, preserves landscape aesthetics, and provides protection from weather, prying eyes, and external threats. It is targeted at luxury property owners seeking discreet vehicle storage and additional outdoor living area.
• Cardok CarPark Cardok CarPark is an intelligent vertical parking mechanism designed for enclosed spaces, maximizing vehicle capacity within a minimal footprint. It accommodates multiple vehicles with vertical stacking efficiency and is suitable for private residences and exclusive developments where space is constrained. The system is part of the CarSafe storage solution family.
• Cardok Turntable Cardok Turntable is a rotating platform that allows vehicles to turn smoothly up to 360 degrees in place, eliminating the need for complex reversing or tight-angle maneuvers. It has a load capacity up to 3,000 kg and can be surfaced to blend with stone, wood, or concrete finishes for seamless indoor or outdoor integration. It is targeted at luxury property owners and developers needing maneuverability in confined garages or underground parking areas.
• Cardok Slider Cardok Slider is a horizontal vehicle repositioning system that enables fluid and efficient reorganization of multiple cars within a limited footprint. It allows vehicles to be stacked or arranged to maximize every square meter of available parking space and is suitable for both residential and commercial settings where multiple vehicles must be managed in compact areas.
• Cardok Special Projects Cardok Special Projects delivers bespoke engineering solutions for non-standard requirements, including multi-layered configurations, oversized dimensions, or the lifting of extraordinary objects such as motorcycles, light aircraft, monumental sculptures, or specialized professional equipment. This offering is targeted at clients with unique installation or moving challenges beyond the standard product portfolio.

Direct peers

• STOPA Anlagenbau: STOPA is a German maker of automated parking systems and storage lifts, with a footprint across Europe. While more industrial in orientation, its residential and underground lift products are a direct functional analogue to Cardok's CarLift and CarPark systems.
• CityLift Parking: CityLift builds automated and semi-automated parking lifts and stackers for residential, commercial, and mixed-use developments in the US. It is a direct peer in custom mechanical/ hydraulic parking solutions, though typically at larger commercial scale than Cardok's residential focus.
• Klaus Multiparking: Klaus Multiparking is a German manufacturer of automated and semi-automated parking systems, including stackers and lifts for private residences and small commercial developments. Its residential product range directly overlaps with Cardok's CarLift and CarSafe offerings.
• Wöhr: Wöhr is a long-established German manufacturer of mechanical and hydraulic parking systems, including lifts and stacking platforms for residential and commercial properties. It is the closest direct competitor to Cardok in the European luxury and premium residential parking lift category.
• Parkplus: Parkplus designs, manufactures, and installs mechanical and hydraulic parking lifts in the US, with both residential and commercial applications. It competes with Cardok in the high-end custom residential lift segment, particularly in North America.

Others

• PFlow Industries: PFlow Industries is a US manufacturer of industrial vertical lifting platforms and material handling lifts. While focused on industrial rather than residential use, its hydraulic lift engineering base is technically comparable to Cardok's core hoisting and drive machinery.

Emerging players

• Robotic Parking Systems: Robotic Parking Systems builds fully automated robotic parking garages, mostly for high-density residential and commercial developments. It overlaps with Cardok on the underground vehicle storage problem but is positioned at larger, more capital-intensive project scale.
• AutoStack Solutions: AutoStack is a UK-based designer of semi-automated car stacking and parking systems for residential developments. It targets a similar end customer (developers and homeowners with space constraints) with a more standardized, lower-cost proposition than Cardok's fully bespoke approach.

Regional players

• Elevating Industries: Elevating Industries is an Australian provider of car turntables and parking lifts for residential and commercial properties. It is a regional peer in the Oceania market, where Cardok also serves customers and uses a local distributor.

Broad incumbents

• HÖRMANN: HÖRMANN is a large German building products group whose portfolio includes garage doors, operators, and parking system components. It is a broad incumbent in the building access and parking space, with overlapping residential product categories but a much wider portfolio than Cardok.
