Many car dealerships are looking for ways to streamline their lots. In many cases, this streamlining means expanding the lot. This isn't possible for most car dealerships, especially in larger cities. It is possible to still expand your dealership and offer something new that many dealerships don't have -- using a car lift, or car elevator, may be the ideal solution. Here are some benefits to this option and what you should know about each one:

Tower-Style Showcasing

One of the leading benefits of a car lift expansion for your car dealership is the ability to use a tower option. Tower options are built similarly to multiple-story buildings. Each story of the car lift can hold as many cars as you want. You can also have the floors of the car lift designed to be protective security glass; this allows you to show your inventory and to keep that inventory safe from theft. When someone wants to see a car, simply use the car lift and obtain the car they would like to see. The car can be put back into the car lift easily after viewing.

Expanding Upward

Using a car lift in a tower design allows your car dealership to expand up instead of out. There are several ways you can achieve this. One way is to use the storage lot you may already have. The tower can be built directly on the lot, allowing you to expand the storage lot as well as your dealership lot capabilities. You can also use pre-existing buildings that may be used for storage and not used as an active complex. With a pre-existing building the car lift contractors can add more floors or work with the ones you already have to create a lift-based showroom.

Easy Access

You can have the car lift customized to fit your dealership needs. This means you can have it built to give a vending machine-style feel. You can also expand to offer online purchasing of cars and the ability to access the car directly at the lift. This can streamline your business and give your customers -- as well as your employees -- access to the cars without worrying about traffic or cars coming and going from the lot without being noticed.

When you are ready to discuss having a car lift built on your car lot site, contact your local car lift or car elevator contractor. They can help you with design options and discuss construction. They can also help with questions about pricing and options for security and for car accessibility.
