S2.7 – car stacker for independent parking with a low building height
Parking on two inclined platforms
In residential and underground car park projects, additional parking spaces are required even though the storey height is tightly dimensioned. At the same time, every vehicle is to remain accessible at all times without another vehicle having to be moved.
S2.7 solves both at once. The inclined platform geometry reduces the required installation height to 2,900 mm in the most compact version, and thus to the lowest figure within the car stacker family. Both parking spaces remain usable independently of one another.
What is Swiss-Park S2.7?
Swiss-Park S2.7 is a hydraulic car stacker for the independent parking of two vehicles one above the other. Both parking spaces sit on platforms above a pit. The upper parking space is approached on a gradient of approximately 2 degrees, the lower one on an incline of approximately 8 degrees. This geometry is what produces the low installation height. Swiss-Park is a Lödige Industries company.
Every vehicle is accessible without another having to be moved beforehand. The supporting and lifting structure is arranged so that the vehicle doors can be opened even where the available space is limited. Operation is via a control unit with a key switch and automatic reset.
Your S2.7 benefits at a glance
S2.7 creates a second parking space on existing floor area and manages this with the lowest installation height within the car stacker family. The version chosen depends on the intended vehicles, the building height and the pit depth that can be achieved.
Comfort, technology & planning
Car stackers are available in various versions to cover differing requirements in terms of available space, user comfort, vehicle dimensions and building structures. The following information gives an overview of comfort, use, key technical data and the planning aids available.
Comfort & ease of use
The driver parks the vehicle themselves. The parking solution moves the platforms so that the chosen parking space can be driven onto. Both parking spaces can be used independently of one another.

Applications
Private Homes & Villas
In private garages, S2.7 creates a second parking space without requiring any additional floor area. Both vehicles remain accessible independently of one another. The low installation height from 2,900 mm also makes the solution possible where the garage is low.
Residential Buildings
S2.7 increases the number of parking spaces within the existing underground car park area without extending the floor plan. Because every vehicle remains accessible without moving another, no coordination between residents is required. Where the floor height is tight, S2.7 is the solution with the lowest installation height within the car stacker family.
Office Buildings
S2.7 creates additional parking spaces for staff, visitors and tenants on the same floor area. Every parking space remains accessible without moving another vehicle, which helps where vehicles change during the day. S2.7 is designed for long-term parking; where the upper parking space is used frequently, for short-stay parking for example, adaptations to the system have to be allowed for.
Hotels & Commercial Buildings
In inner-city locations, S2.7 extends the parking provision for guests and staff without requiring additional site area. Every vehicle remains accessible without moving another. As guest vehicles change frequently, a structural adaptation has to be allowed for if the upper parking space is used.
Everything from a single source – from planning to modernisation
Lödige supports your project throughout its entire life cycle – from system-independent planning and delivery through to service and modernisation.
The right car stacker for your project
Lödige assesses the structural conditions, the parking requirement and the intended vehicles in order to determine the right car stacker and its design. This includes the available pit and building height, platform width and load capacity, vehicle dimensions, vehicle access and the desired independent or dependent use of the parking spaces.
Where transport between building levels is to be provided in addition to increased parking density, the planning also considers possible combinations with car lifts and other parking systems. In projects involving existing buildings, systems from other manufacturers can also be assessed and integrated into a modernisation or overall parking concept.
Operating car stackers reliably in the long term
Regular maintenance, rapid support in the event of a service call and a dependable supply of spare parts contribute to the long-term availability of the car stacker and to protecting its value. Lödige looks after its own systems as well as those of other manufacturers and supports operators when technical requirements, vehicle sizes or the use of the parking spaces change.
Modernisation can cover the control system, hydraulics, operating elements, platforms and safety equipment, securing the long-term continued operation of existing systems. To this end the technical condition of the car stacker is assessed – including systems from other manufacturers – and a modernisation concept matched to the system and its use is developed from it.

Typical applications are private homes, residential buildings, residential developments, underground car parks, office buildings, hotels, prefabricated garages and multi-storey car parks. Thanks to its compact design, the system is particularly suitable for projects with low storey heights and demanding space conditions.
Not sure which car stacker is the right solution?
Choosing between the Swiss-Park car stackers comes down to three points: how many parking levels are needed, whether every vehicle has to remain accessible without moving another, and whether the location allows a pit.
