Double your parking capacity

The ParkPlus DP003 Double Stacker is the leading double stacker parking lift on the market. A hydraulic 2-post system with cantilevered platforms, the DP003 lifts one vehicle above another — turning every single parking space into two.

Each double stacker parking lift comes pre-welded and is assembled in the field. Units can be installed as single stackers or in arrays with shared common legs for maximum density. Designed for mounting on grade, concrete, or asphalt with an approved foundation system.

Platform height is field adjustable in 1½-inch increments, accommodating everything from compact sedans to full-size SUVs. The DP003 is designed for both indoor and outdoor installation in attended/valet and self-park applications.
