RISE car lifts for a change of level on a small footprint
Access to the basement – and not a trace of a ramp
An access ramp needs additional length alongside the driving lane for the gradient and transitions. On small plots and in projects with few parking spaces, this space requirement is out of all proportion to the number of parking spaces served, and the ramp permanently shapes the access and outdoor area.
RISE car lifts need only the footprint of one parking space for the route between the levels. The area a ramp would occupy remains available for living space, open space or additional parking spaces.
What are Swiss-Park RISE car lifts?
Swiss-Park RISE car lifts transport vehicle and driver between the levels on a hydraulically moved platform. The driver drives onto the platform and stays in the vehicle. The travel button is held down throughout the entire journey – when it is released, the movement stops. The parking solution moves the platform and uses sensors on both sides to check that the vehicle is correctly positioned. Swiss-Park is a Lödige Industries company.
The platform travels in a shaft constructed by the client. There is no cabin with cabin doors; at the stops, garage doors or shaft protection close off the shaft. On RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C, the platform carries a cover, the roof. In the lowered position, it closes the shaft opening and can be given flooring that connects to the access or courtyard.
Benefits of RISE car lifts
RISE replaces the ramp on the footprint of one parking space. Stroke, platform size, load capacity and the design of the surface are matched to the project.
Our Swiss-Park RISE car lifts at a glance
The choice depends on the height difference to be overcome, whether the area above the shaft is to remain usable, the pit depth that is structurally possible and the weight of the intended vehicles. RISE-P and RISE-R-5-P are designed for a height difference of up to 3700 mm, RISE-R-C with a guided platform for up to 11500 mm. RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C have a roof that closes off the upper shaft opening.

RISE car lifts compared
The four tabs compare RISE-P, RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C using the figures that have to be coordinated with the building design at an early stage. Stroke, pit dimensions and load capacity determine which product is structurally possible; RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C come into consideration when the area above the system is to become part of the courtyard or access.
Use and comfort
How are RISE car lifts used?
With all three products, driver and vehicle are transported together. The journey is not automatic: the travel button must be held down throughout the entire movement.
| RISE-P | RISE-R-5-P | RISE-R-C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Roof | not applicable | Closes the shaft opening in the lowered position and takes a project-specific flooring – the area above the system remains usable as part of the courtyard or access | |
| Recommended project size | up to 15 vehicles | ||
| Driver on board | Yes | ||
| Automatic journey | No | ||
| Operation during the journey | Travel button, held down continuously – dead-man control | ||
| Vehicle positioning | Position sensors on both sides, positioning aid and drive-through sensors | ||

When the travel button is released, the movement stops. The operating concept applies to all three products.
Level access and performance
Which height differences can be overcome?
What matters is the height difference between the entry level and the destination level. The speed alone does not determine the cycle, because entry, positioning and the opening of the doors also play a part.
| RISE-P | RISE-R-5-P | RISE-R-C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Type of construction | Scissor lift table | Scissor lift table with roof | Platform on lateral guides with roof |
| Stroke | 2700 to 3700 mm | 2700 to 3700 mm | 3000 to 11500 mm |
| Speed | 7 to 10 cm/s | 6 to 8 cm/s | 7 to 10 cm/s |
| Guides in the shaft | not applicable | project-specific | |
| Connection to a garage door | Sectional or roller door; dimensions and control to be coordinated with the door supplier, position relative to the parapet to be taken into account for all products | ||
| Permissible access slope | Descending slope up to 4 per cent, ascending slope up to 14 per cent | ||
Version and vehicle accommodation
Which vehicles can the platform accommodate?
Platform length and width are determined according to the intended vehicles. Note the reference value for the load capacity: with RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C, the flooring on the roof is included; with RISE-P, it is not.
| RISE-P | RISE-R-5-P | RISE-R-C | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Load capacity | 2500 kg, optionally 3500 kg | up to 5000 kg | up to 5000 kg |
| Reference value for load capacity | Vehicle weight | Vehicle and flooring on the roof, flooring up to 250 kg/m² | |
| Platform length | 5050 to 5950 mm | 5310 to 6450 mm | 5310 to 5950 mm |
| Platform width or clear passage | Platform 2400 to 2900 mm, clear passage 2300 to 2800 mm | Platform 2450 to 2950 mm, clear passage 2200 to 2700 mm | Clear passage 2500 to 3000 mm |
| Clear passage height | project-specific, at least 2500 mm | 1800 to 2200 mm | 1800 to 2200 mm |
| Parapet height | 1200 to 2100 mm | ||
| Upper shaft closure | Door or shaft protection provided on site | Roof with project-specific flooring, usable as a parking space in the lowered position under certain conditions | |
| Drive | Hydraulic, with manual emergency lowering | ||
If the roof is used as a parking space, the vehicle parked there must be removed before the system is operated.
Building and planning
Which structural requirements must be taken into account?
The shaft and pit, technical area, drainage and door connection are coordinated with the building design at an early stage. The pit dimensions follow from the selected platform size, the depth from the type of construction.

Applications
RISE is mainly used where a small number of parking spaces are to be served and the group of users is fixed. The tabs show what matters for each building type.
Private Homes & Villas and private garages
On small plots, RISE connects a lower-lying garage with the access without a ramp having to be built. RISE-P is designed for a height difference of one storey.
If the vehicle is to be located beneath an access or outdoor area, RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C come into consideration: their roof becomes part of this area and takes the intended flooring.
Residential Buildings
In residential buildings, RISE provides access to a parking level for which a ramp would take up too much plot or building area. The solution is suitable as long as the traffic volume remains manageable and the residents can be instructed as a fixed group of users.
Whether RISE-P, RISE-R-5-P or RISE-R-C is suitable depends on the height difference to the parking level and on whether the area above the shaft is to remain usable.
Office Buildings
In office buildings, RISE creates a compact connection to parking areas on another building level. A prerequisite is a predictable group of users who are familiar with operating the system during the journey.
Vehicle dimensions, access, stroke and technical area are coordinated together at an early stage so that the system fits into the floor plan.
Hotels & Commercial Buildings
In hotels and smaller commercial buildings, RISE provides access to parking spaces on another level without a ramp shaping the access. Operation with the driver on board requires journeys to be made by instructed persons, for example staff in valet operation.
For higher traffic volumes or changing users, the car lifts TRAFFICO, CARRICO and PEGASOS are also considered during planning.

Frequently asked questions about RISE
Yes. Driver and vehicle are transported together. The journey does not run automatically: the travel button must be held down throughout the entire movement, and the system stops when it is released. This dead-man control requires a defined group of instructed users. An emergency battery, manual emergency lowering and a GSM emergency call system are part of the equipment.
RISE-P and RISE-R-5-P connect the entry level with an adjacent level and reach a stroke of 2700 to 3700 mm. RISE-R-C reaches 3000 to 11500 mm and also overcomes height differences spanning several storey heights; here, lateral guides guide the platform.
The platform is designed for the intended vehicles. The platform length is up to 5950 mm, and up to 6450 mm with RISE-R-5-P. The load capacity is 2500 kg and optionally 3500 kg with RISE-P and up to 5000 kg with RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C. With RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C, this value is the total load of the vehicle and the flooring on the roof; the flooring is counted at up to 250 kg/m².
With RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C, a roof closes off the upper shaft opening, takes project-specific flooring and integrates the system into the access or outdoor area. In the lowered position, it can be used as a parking space under certain conditions; the vehicle parked there must be removed before operation. Both also include a surrounding drainage channel connected to the sewer system and sensor mounting columns for monitoring the roof. RISE-R-5-P is a scissor lift table for a stroke of up to 3700 mm, RISE-R-C a guided platform for up to 11500 mm.
A shaft spanning the entire height difference is required. A pit is added beneath the lower level, 550 to 650 mm deep with RISE-P, 570 to 620 mm with RISE-R-5-P and 1500 mm with RISE-R-C. Also required are a floor and walls below the entry level in concrete, at least C20/25, drainage via a collecting sump or a permanently installed pump – with RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C additionally via a surrounding drainage channel – and an accessible, ventilated area for the hydraulic power unit and control cabinet. Door dimensions and control are coordinated with the door supplier.
RISE-P is designed for indoor installation. RISE-R-5-P and RISE-R-C are also suitable for outdoor installation – the roof is then part of the access or outdoor area. The operating range is between -10 °C and +40 °C. In the event of snowfall, the system, including the sensor paths, must be cleared before operation; the waterproofing of the shaft and roof is provided by others.
