Auto Stacker Lift

Personal vehicle use has continued to surge significantly thanks to more people being active. And as the world continues to adjust from the coronavirus pandemic and into a brave new way of life, more people are buying more cars.

For most people with multiple cars - or families where multiple people have cars - a car stacker is more than a necessity. They help you to optimize parking space in your garage, creating more space and offering you a lot of convenience when it comes to parking options.

The time to get a car stacker is now, and we’ll look into just what these devices offer.

 

What is a car stacker?

In its simplest sense, a car stacker lift is a lifting machine that allows you to essentially park several vehicles vertically. With this lift system, it’s possible for you to optimize vehicle storage and use multiple parking spaces to your advantage.

The car parking lift is getting especially more popular in urban areas where space can be a bit of a hassle to come by. Due to massive traffic and space congestions, many have had issues with finding the right spaces to park their vehicles. With a car stacker, this problem can be significantly addressed - causing a drop in traffic and helping people to be more economical when it comes to space.

Interestingly, car parking lifts aren’t just available in homes. They can be found in household spaces, parking lots, repair shops, car showrooms, etc.

 

How car stackers work

Car stackers actually come with relatively simple working systems. Whether it’s an auto stacker lift or a manual one, the working system requires a lift platform on which the car will be parked. From there, another space is created where the next vehicle will be able to settle. And on and on it goes.

Usually, car parking lifts come with hydraulic systems that drive the entire mechanism. However, in some cases, the mechanisms are driven by electrical motors - for better automation and speed.

The most common stacking position is to have the vehicles exactly parallel to the ground. However, there are several new-age stackers that are innovating and which can even have multiple floors where cars can be stacked

All in all, the objective is to help to optimize space and provide a much better experience for car owners. And for owners who have issues with storage space for their cars, getting a car stacker will definitely be a great way to solve this

Garage Flooring

Are you looking for garage floors? Since 2003, Potomac Garage Solutions has been offering a wide variety of flooring options to customers in Maryland, Washington, DC and Northern Virginia.

Garage Flooring 

Your choice of garage flooring is one of the most important architectural decisions you will make as you renovate your garage. This is primarily because your garage floor takes a significant amount of contact at every point. For you to effectively maintain the look and functionality of your garage, you need to be sure that the garage flooring is able to hold its own.

With the many options available for garage flooring, it is important to pick the right one based on your garage’s requirements. And if you’re unable to come to a decision, here are a few factors that could guide you:

Texture and color

The days when garage floors used to just be grey lumps are over, thank goodness. These days, you can easily find a broad range of flooring options available that can easily fit any garage type.

You can explore different texture designs and color options. As long as you can ensure that the color you choose for your floor complements the rest of the garage, then you should be fine. But, if you’re looking to play it safe, then consider something mute and relaxed.

Wear and tear’s effects

As explained earlier, the garage floor is one of the most important parts of your entire garage. It takes on a significant amount of load and work, and this means that the garage floor needs to be in top shape at every turn.

Since there will be heavy load on your floor, you need to choose a material that is durable and can bear massive amounts of load. Most experts use the Mohs scale to identify the resistance and hardness of a material. But, you could easily ask any expert or professional tiler to help you look into the available options.

Maintenance work

When it comes to abuse or damage, the garage is perhaps the part of the house that suffers the most. There’s always the chance of dropping something heavy suddenly or spilling oil on the garage floor while trying to fix your car.

This is why you need a floor material that can easily be cleaned and maintained.

Environmental impact

If you install a garage floor coating on top of your floor, then cleaning and maintenance should be a breeze. However, you also need to ensure that the coating you choose isn’t dangerous or filled with any harmful materials.

Many coatings are made with harmful compounds and chemicals that could create pollution and release toxins, and you sure don’t want those posing a threat to your health and environment.
