Autostacker A6W Extra-Wide Platform: Home Car Lift for Residential Garages
Also searched as: A6W-OPT1 / Autostacker wide platform / BendPak home car lift / residential parking lift
The Autostacker A6W is BendPak's extra-wide home car lift built for residential garages that need double-stacked parking without sacrificing door clearance. You get 6,000-lb capacity, a compact scissor design that works in 9-10 ft ceilings, and a 91.75" wide platform that actually lets you open your truck doors. The hot-dipped galvanized platform handles road salt and moisture while the 83.13" drive-through width fits full-size trucks and SUVs.
Need a narrower platform for sedans? Check out the Autostacker A6S standard width. Browse all Autostacker parking lifts.
Features
Extra-Wide Platform for Real Door Clearance
The A6W gives you 8 inches more overall width than the standard A6S (110.88" vs 102.88"). That 91.75" platform width means you can actually open doors fully without hitting the lift structure. If you're parking trucks and SUVs, this is the difference between daily frustration and actually using your lift.
Built for 9-10 Foot Residential Ceilings
Most home garages have low ceilings that rule out traditional four-post lifts. The A6W's compact scissor design hits 85" max platform height with five adjustable lock positions (52.5" to 76" under-clearance). Park your daily driver underneath, store another vehicle up top. No ceiling mods required.
Galvanized Platform, Powder-Coated Frame
The loading platform is hot-dipped galvanized steel for serious corrosion resistance. Road salt, moisture, garage humidity: handled. The frame gets durable powder coating. This dual-finish setup protects where it matters most and keeps looking good for years.
Door-Sentry Protection System
Full-length rubber guards run along the scissor-lift superstructure, creating a buffer between your doors and the steel frame. Combined with the extra-wide platform and low-profile 2" approach ramps, you're not going to ding your paint getting in and out.
Fast and Quiet Operation
The hydraulic scissor system raises 6,000 lbs to full height in about 45 seconds at 70 dB. That's about as loud as normal conversation. The 3 HP motor handles smooth, controlled movement without waking up the house or annoying the neighbors.

Ceiling Height Guide
Quick formula: Upper vehicle height + platform/structure (~6") + lower vehicle height + safety margin (6") = minimum ceiling needed.
Example: 49" sports car on top + 6" platform + 57" sedan below + 6" margin = 118" total, which fits under a 10 ft (120") ceiling.
Stack height varies by install. Check the manual for precise dimensions, or call us with your vehicle heights and we'll confirm fitment.
Lock Positions
Five automatic ratcheting lock positions give you adjustable under-car clearance. Top lock position gives about 76" of clearance underneath in typical installs. Intermediate heights vary by setup.
Tip: Measure your lower vehicle including roof racks, antennas, and luggage carriers. Make sure you've got room to open doors and get in/out comfortably. Questions about your specific vehicle pairing? Give us a call.

FAQs
How much does an Autostacker A6W cost?
Pricing varies by freight zone, accessories, and installation. Contact us for current pricing and lead time. Free freight shipping is included to the continental U.S.
What ceiling height do I need?
Many installs work in 9-10 ft garages. Use the formula: upper vehicle + platform (~6") + lower vehicle + safety margin (6"). The A6W's low ceiling compatibility makes it ideal for standard residential garages.
What are the exact A6W dimensions?
Overall width 110.88", overall height 91", platform length 141.25", platform width 91.75", drive-through width 83.13". That's 8 inches wider overall than the A6S.
Is the Autostacker good for low ceilings?
Yes. The compact scissor design fits where traditional four-post lifts won't. Verify your stack height with our ceiling formula, but most 9-10 ft residential garages work fine.
Is the platform really galvanized?
Yes. The loading platform is hot-dipped galvanized for maximum corrosion resistance against road salt and moisture. The structural frame is powder-coated.
What's the difference between A6W and A6S?
The A6W is 8 inches wider overall (110.88" vs 102.88") with a galvanized platform. Same 6,000 lb capacity, same drive-through width. Choose A6W if you need door clearance for trucks and SUVs.
Can I buy a used Autostacker?
Used units are rare and need thorough safety inspection. We can notify you if certified trade-ins come up, but new units get you full manufacturer warranty and support.
Is professional installation required?
Highly recommended. It takes 4-6 hours with two technicians, requires equipment to move ~3,300 lbs, and professional install keeps your warranty valid.
