Safety is the paramount factor when selecting a four post parking lift or mechanical parking system for residential, commercial, or workshop applications. To verify the extreme reliability of our engineering, the SYRISON DFPP Four Post Parking Lift has recently completed its official EN1493 CE safety testing, conducted on-site by an independent European certification body.

The tested 4 ton parking lift model features a rated lifting capacity of 4,000 kg, engineered to park two vehicles with a maximum load of 2,000 kg on each platform. For heavy duty commercial projects, higher capacities and customized dimensions are fully available.

Unlike documentation-only compliance, this rigorous project involved multiple days of intensive on-site physical testing, witnessed and verified by professional CE certification engineers from CEM International Ltd.

Why We Chose EN1493 Instead of Only EN14010

Global distributors, vehicle collectors, and workshop owners often ask: Can a standard car parking lift be used for both vehicle storage and vehicle maintenance?

According to the certification engineers, the core differences lie in the standards:

• EN 14010: Commonly applied to a standard car parking lift or mechanical parking system designed strictly for vehicle storage.

• EN 1493: Applied to advanced vehicle lifting equipment intended for both parking and vehicle maintenance applications, requiring significantly higher structural safety margins.

To deliver maximum versatility, SYRISON chose to evaluate the DFPP under the far more demanding EN1493 testing procedure. This gives B2B distributors and commercial garage buyers absolute confidence for long-term, multi-functional use.

The Crucial Off-Center Loading Test

One of the most demanding phases of the EN1493 CE safety testing was the off-center loading test, which simulates real-world uneven weight distribution.

Instead of balancing the weight evenly, engineers intentionally created an extreme, unbalanced load condition. The DFPP four post parking lift operated at its full 4,000 kg rated working load with the weight deliberately arranged as follows:

• Front Platform: Approximately 2,666 kg

• Rear Platform: Approximately 1,333 kg

• Rigorous Verification: After the initial cycle, the entire loading arrangement was reversed, and every procedure was repeated. The lift was tested thoroughly at low, middle, and maximum lifting heights to guarantee absolute structural stability across the entire operating range.
