Residential car elevators are designed to handle the weight of modern vehicles safely and efficiently. The load capacity ranges from 2,500 kg to 4,000 kg, depending on the elevator model and vehicle type.
Most home car elevators comfortably support:
Sedans and hatchbacks
SUVs and luxury cars
Electric vehicles
For larger SUVs or premium vehicles, higher-capacity models are recommended. Load capacity selection also depends on cabin size, safety margin, and local regulations. Reputable car elevator manufacturers always design systems with extra safety buffers to ensure smooth operation and vehicle protection.
Choosing the right load capacity is essential for long-term reliability, safety, and future vehicle upgrades.
