Three levels of collector vehicle storage in a private car club
Otto Car Club is a private car club in Scottsdale, Arizona built around the storage, care, and enjoyment of collector vehicles. Members store vehicles they rarely drive in a climate-controlled, professionally managed facility – a different operational environment from a parking garage, with different demands on the storage system.
ParkPlus installed 26 TP500 Triple Stacker parking lifts throughout the facility, delivering 78 individual storage spaces across three levels per unit. The triple stacker configuration maximizes the storage density of the club’s floor plan while keeping each vehicle independently accessible, so members can retrieve any car without moving another. For a collector storage environment, that independence is not a convenience – it is the baseline requirement.

78 independently accessible storage spaces from 26 bays
Collector vehicle storage requires more than density. A member storing a vehicle at Otto Car Club needs to know they can retrieve it when they want it, without coordinating with other members or waiting for another vehicle to be moved. The TP500 triple stacker delivers three vertically stacked positions from a single bay footprint, and each position operates independently. No vehicle blocks another.
For the club itself, the triple stacker configuration means 78 membership storage spaces within a footprint that conventional single-level parking could never match. That storage density is what makes a private car club of this scale commercially viable in a real estate market like Scottsdale, where purpose-built collector facilities compete for premium industrial and commercial space.
Maximum storage density without sacrificing individual access
A collector vehicle club lives or dies on member experience. Storage density matters because it determines how many membership spaces the facility can offer and therefore whether the business model works. But density achieved through conventional stacked systems that require one vehicle to be moved to access another is incompatible with the expectation a collector car owner brings to their storage facility. Every vehicle needs to be accessible at any time, on demand, without coordination.
Three independent levels per bay, no blocking conflicts
TP500 Triple Stacker parking lifts were installed throughout the Otto Car Club facility, providing three independently accessible storage positions per bay. Each level operates on its own, so retrieving a vehicle from the middle or upper position does not require moving any other car. ParkPlus delivered 78 storage spaces from 26 bays, achieving the density the club’s floor plan required without compromising the access experience that collector vehicle owners expect.

Triple stacker parking lifts for collector vehicle storage
What is a triple stacker parking lift and how does it work?
A triple stacker parking lift creates three independently accessible vehicle storage positions within the footprint of a single bay. The upper two platforms raise and lower independently, allowing each vehicle to be retrieved without affecting the position of any other vehicle in the same unit. The ground-level position remains accessible at all times.
At Otto Car Club in Scottsdale, 26 ParkPlus TP500 Triple Stacker units deliver 78 collector vehicle storage spaces. Each position is independently accessible, consistent with the access requirements of a private collector facility where members store vehicles they may retrieve at any time.
Are triple stacker parking lifts suitable for collector vehicle storage?
Triple stacker lifts are well suited to collector vehicle storage environments because each level operates independently, meaning no vehicle needs to be moved to access another. This is the critical access requirement for collector storage: members expect to retrieve their vehicle on demand without coordinating with other members or waiting for a different car to be relocated.
ParkPlus TP500 Triple Stackers are used across collector storage facilities, private garages, and specialty automotive clubs where independent access to each storage position is a requirement rather than a preference.
How much space does a triple stacker parking lift require?
A triple stacker parking lift occupies the footprint of a single parking bay while delivering three storage positions vertically. The exact floor area required depends on the vehicle size the system is configured for, but in a typical configuration, a triple stacker uses the same floor space as a standard single parking space to store three vehicles.
For collector storage facilities and private car clubs, this means the entire storage inventory can be housed in a fraction of the floor area that conventional single-level parking would require, which directly affects both facility design and membership capacity.
What ceiling height is required to install a triple stacker parking lift?
Triple stacker parking lifts require sufficient clear ceiling height to accommodate three vehicle levels plus the mechanical clearance of the lift system. The exact height requirement depends on the vehicle types being stored and the specific system model. ParkPlus engineers assess ceiling height and structural loading requirements during the design phase for each installation.

How do private car clubs use parking lifts to maximize membership capacity?
Private car clubs and collector storage facilities use parking lifts to multiply the number of membership storage spaces available within a fixed building footprint. A triple stacker delivers three spaces per bay; a double stacker delivers two. For a club with a given floor area, the choice of lift system directly determines the maximum number of members the facility can support.
