DriverLift™ Rideable Vehicle Lift
Allows auto dealerships, motorsports facilities, classic car storage facilities, private garages, showrooms, and convention facilities to safely and conveniently transfer vehicles between floor levels.
The affordable DriverLift™ is a rideable vehicle lift from Wildeck that has been designed for safe and efficient transfer of vehicles between levels. No more climbing stairs to catch up with your car on a material-only lift. The DriverLift allows authorized personnel to travel with their vehicle on the carriage, instead of relying on someone else to off-load the car.
Wildeck's hydraulically operated lift offers the convenience of a passenger elevator, but with lower costs to install, operate, and maintain. The DriverLift complies with the ASME A17.1 / CSA B44 "Safety Code for Elevators and Escalators" and is a Type B Material Lift, rated Class B for vehicle loads.
- Increase operational efficiency
- Saves time by allowing drivers to travel between levels with their vehicle
- Improves safety and reduces operator fatigue
- Increases the utilization of facility capacity gained from mezzanines
- Can be purchased and installed at a fraction of the cost of a freight elevator
Rideable Vehicle Lift Advantages
Wildeck's hydraulically-operated DriverLift™ is an ideal solution for the safe movement of vehicles between levels in your facility. It is more affordable, and easier to install than a passenger elevator, while offering many similar benefits.
- Minimizes time required to move vehicles between floor levels
- Easy-to-use operator controls
- Heavy-duty, industrial construction for longevity
- Numerous safety features to keep riders protected
The DriverLift™ safely transfers authorized personnel and their vehicle to travel heights up to 14 ft., with a maximum capacity of 8,000 lbs. (class B rated for vehicle loads). A keyed "enabled" switch inside the carriage allows authorized lift use only. Up/Down push buttons inside the carriage control lift movement (requires contact pressure, per code). During use, call/send stations located outside the lift are disabled, and carriage access gates are securely locked. Choose between "C" or "Z" loading configurations, to meet your vehicle transfer requirements.
