Do I Need an Engineer for Parking Lift Installation?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

When customers purchase a parking lift or parking system, one of the most common questions is:

“Do we need to arrange an engineer from the manufacturer for installation and commissioning?”

The answer depends on the type of parking system, the project size, and the local installation experience.
Below are clear and practical answers based on real project experience.

Q1: Do simple parking lifts require an engineer on site?

In most cases, NO.

Simple parking systems are developed based on traditional car lift technology.
If the local installer has experience with:

Car lifts

Mechanical equipment

Basic electrical and hydraulic systems

then installation can be completed by following our installation manual and drawings.

👉 On-site engineer support is optional, not mandatory.

Q2: Why can simple parking systems be installed without an engineer?

Because they have:

Clear mechanical structure

Independent lifting units

Simple control logic

Mature and proven technology

We provide:

Step-by-step installation instructions

Electrical and hydraulic schematics

Safety adjustment guidance

With nearly 20 years of industry experience, we have found that any installer familiar with car lifts can successfully complete installation.

Q3: What if problems occur during installation?

This is where our remote technical support comes in.

During installation and commissioning:

Customers send photos and videos from the site

Our engineers analyze the issue

Clear solutions and adjustment steps are provided

📌 So far, we have not encountered any simple parking lift installation problem that could not be solved remotely.

Q4: When is on-site engineer support recommended for simple parking systems?

On-site support may be considered if:

The project includes many units

The customer prefers on-site supervision

Local regulations or insurance require manufacturer involvement

In these cases, we can arrange an engineer to provide installation guidance and commissioning support.

Q5: Do complex parking systems require professional engineers?

Yes.

Complex parking systems involve:

Multi-level mechanical structures

Sensors and safety logic

Synchronized movement between units

Advanced control systems

For these systems:

Installation and commissioning should be done by professionals with parking system experience

On-site engineer support is strongly recommended or required

This ensures safe operation and long-term system stability.

Q6: What is included in engineer on-site service?

On-site engineer service typically includes:

Installation guidance

System commissioning

Safety inspection

Operation explanation for local staff

Travel-related costs (airfare, visa, accommodation, meals, transportation) are paid by the customer, along with a daily service fee depending on system type.

Q7: Is remote support enough for most projects?

For simple parking lifts, the answer is yes for the majority of projects.

Remote support offers:

Lower overall cost

Faster project start

Flexible communication

Proven reliability

Many customers worldwide have successfully completed installation using this approach.

Q8: What is your recommendation as a manufacturer?

Our recommendation is always project-based, not sales-driven.

If remote support is sufficient, we will recommend it

If on-site engineer support is necessary, we will explain why

Our goal is to ensure:

Safe installation

Reliable operation

Reasonable total project cost
