TFPP Combined Four Post Parking Lift Successfully Completed Official EN1493 Safety Testing

Selecting a high-density mechanical parking system for premium garages, commercial developments, or fleet storage requires zero compromise on structural safety. To prove our engineering limits, the SYRISON TFPP Combined Four Post Parking Lift has recently completed its official on-site EN1493 CE safety testing, fully supervised and verified by an independent European certification body CEM International Ltd..

Unlike a conventional single-platform four post parking lift, the TFPP features an innovative, space-saving engineering design: it integrates two completely independent lifting platforms into one unified heavy duty parking lift structure.

Big 4 post car parking lift: Engineered with a 2,700 kg rated lifting capacity.
Small 4 post car parking lift: Engineered with a 3,600 kg rated lifting capacity.

While these two lifting units operate seamlessly together as one high-capacity combined parking lift, European certification criteria dictated that they could not be tested as a single mechanism. Instead, they had to endure double the rigor.

Two Independent Lifts, Two Complete EN1493 Test Procedures

What truly separates the TFPP from ordinary multi-car lifters is its dual-engine structural integrity. Rather than certifying the combined equipment as one single unit, the certification engineers evaluated both lifting platforms through two separate, full-scale testing sequences.

Phase 1 (The Upper Lift): The 2.7-ton upper platform completed its own dedicated structural, hydraulic, and load-bearing testing.
Phase 2 (The Lower Lift): The 3.6-ton lower platform then underwent the exact same punishing testing procedure independently.

Every structural beam, hydraulic cylinder, and safety lock on each platform had to satisfy the stringent EN1493 requirements independently before the integrated car parking lift system could be granted official compliance.

Official Double Off-Center Loading Tests

Per the strict mandates of the EN1493 standard, both lifting mechanisms were independently subjected to extreme off-center loading tests to ensure absolute real-world stability.

Instead of balancing weights evenly, certification engineers intentionally created eccentric, unbalanced load conditions on each platform. The TFPP combined four post parking lift was operated at multiple lifting heights carrying these skewed weights to simulate uneven vehicle distributions (such as front-heavy EVs or SUVs with rear-loaded cargo).

Once the first uneven cycle was completed, the load distribution was reversed, and the entire multi-height operational test was repeated for both the upper and lower lift systems.

115% Dynamic Overload Verification for Both Systems

To ensure that this hydraulic parking lift maintains an ironclad safety margin during everyday operation, both lifting platforms successfully passed individual 115% dynamic overload tests.

The certification team overloaded the upper platform beyond its 2,700 kg rating and the lower platform beyond its 3,600 kg rating. Under these continuous overload conditions, the platforms performed multiple full lifting and lowering cycles while inspectors scrutinized:

Dynamic hydraulic pressure, valve behavior, and cylinder sync
High-tensile synchronization steel cables alignment
Heavy-duty mechanical locking devices engagement
Overall multi-platform structural rigidity under motion

This double dynamic verification proves that both independent tiers of this parking system provide an exceptional safety buffer well beyond their nominal rated working capacities.

150% Static Load Test: Double Structural Abuse

The ultimate test of structural integrity for any commercial-grade parking lift is the 150% static load test.

Because the TFPP houses two separate lifting systems, both structures had to hold 1.5 times their rated capacities at maximum extension. Inspectors carefully measured the columns, platforms, and joints for any signs of structural deformation, hydraulic fluid leakage, or permanent deflection.

Platform Tier	Rated Capacity	150% Static Test Load	Status Verified
Upper Platform	2,700 kg	4,050 kg (4.05 Tons)	PASSED under extreme hold
Lower Platform	3,600 kg	5,400 kg (5.4 Tons)	PASSED under extreme hold

This extreme engineering margin provides maximum long-term confidence for global distributors managing high-value vehicle collections.

Additional Mandated EN1493 Safety Inspections

Beyond the heavy load challenges, the engineers completed a series of granular safety inspections mandated by the EN1493 standard for vehicle parking lifts:

Hydraulic Safety: Extended pressure hold checks to guarantee zero oil leakage.
Acoustics & Environment: Decibel noise level measurements during simultaneous operations.
Craftsmanship: Non-destructive testing (NDT) on structural welds and structural columns.
Anti-Roll Protection: Wheel stopper lateral force deflection testing.
Fail-Safe Interlocks: Precision verification of mechanical safety lock engagement at all levels.

Why EN1493 Was Selected Over EN14010

A common question among B2B buyers is whether a high-density mechanical parking system can be utilized for both vehicle storage and maintenance.

According to certification engineers, EN14010 is the standard restricted primarily to basic vehicle parking and storage systems. In contrast, EN1493 is a much tougher standard applied to equipment engineered for both vehicle parking and professional maintenance applications.

Because the TFPP integrates two incredibly robust lifting systems, SYRISON intentionally chose the more rigorous EN1493 pathway. This ensures our clients receive a highly versatile machine that can store a vehicle collection on one level while doubling as a maintenance bay when required.

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions

Can both lifting platforms work completely independently?

Yes. The TFPP is a combined parking lift that features two fully independent four-post hydraulic lifting mechanisms integrated into a shared, space-saving structural frame. One platform can be fully raised or lowered without interfering with the stationary state of the other.

What are the standard lifting capacities for each tier?

The standard configuration features an upper platform rated at 2,700 kg and a lower platform rated at 3,600 kg. However, higher heavy-duty capacities can be engineered upon request.
