Autostacker A6W Extra-Wide Platform - Home Car Lift for Residential Garages
The Autostacker A6W is BendPak's extra-wide home car lift designed for residential garages that need space-saving parking lift storage without giving up door clearance. With 6,000-lb capacity, a compact scissor design, and a fully collapsible platform, the A6W fits many home garage layouts - including low-ceiling installs around 9–10 ft. This residential car lift provides 83.13" drive-through width and 91.75" platform width for superior door clearance when stacking trucks and SUVs.

Best Wide Platform Car Lift for Home Garages
The A6W combines commercial-quality engineering with residential garage compatibility, delivering superior door clearance for trucks and SUVs in standard 9-10 ft ceilings.
Why Choose the A6W Wide Platform for Residential Garages
When converting limited garage space into dual-level parking for larger vehicles, this residential car lift addresses critical homeowner concerns: maximizing door clearance for trucks and SUVs, fitting in existing low ceiling garages without renovation, and ensuring long-term safety. This home car lift delivers commercial-grade performance while providing the extra width needed for comfortable vehicle access.
Extra-Wide Platform Design for Superior Door Clearance
The A6W provides 8 inches more overall width than the standard A6S model (110.88" vs 102.88"), creating crucial extra space for door clearance. With its 91.75" platform width, this home parking lift eliminates the tight squeeze common with standard-width lifts when parking trucks and SUVs.
The wider platform means you can open doors fully without hitting the lift structure, making daily use practical and stress-free. Benefit: Professional double-parking functionality with the door clearance needed for full-size vehicles, without requiring garage expansion or modification.
Engineered for Standard 9-10 Foot Residential Ceilings
The A6W solves the biggest challenge facing homeowners with larger vehicles: installing a car lift in low ceiling garages. With 85-inch maximum platform height and five adjustable lock positions (52.5" to 76" under-clearance), this residential parking lift accommodates various vehicle combinations in standard residential ceiling heights.
This eliminates the need for costly ceiling modifications or garage expansions that traditional four-post lifts require. Real-world advantage: Park your daily driver SUV underneath while storing your truck, weekend vehicle, or seasonal automobile overhead—all in the garage you already have.
Galvanized Platform with Powder-Coated Frame
This industrial-strength home car lift features a hot-dipped galvanized steel loading platform for maximum corrosion resistance, paired with a durable powder-coated frame structure. The galvanized platform resists moisture, road salt, and garage humidity, while the powder-coated frame maintains its appearance and structural integrity.
Premium hydraulic components and certified safety systems ensure reliable performance year after year. Long-term value: Your investment in residential garage parking efficiency remains protected through daily vehicle cycling with dual-finish protection against corrosion.
Patented Door-Sentry™ Protection System
The built-in Door-Sentry™ system uses full-length, energy-absorbing rubber guards permanently affixed to the scissor-lift superstructure, creating a protective buffer zone between your parked vehicle doors and the steel lift frame. These industrial-grade rubber protectors automatically shield your vehicles from accidental door contact with the lift arms.
This engineered safeguard protects luxury finishes, classic paint, and daily drivers from dings, dents, and scratches during normal garage use. Combined with the extra-wide platform's superior clearance and low-profile 2" approach ramps, the A6W delivers comprehensive protection for high-value vehicles. Benefit: Park with confidence knowing your vehicle investment remains protected from structural contact damage.
Fast 45-Second Lift Cycle for Easy Two-Vehicle Access
Hydraulic scissor lift system raises 6,000 lbs to full 85" height in approximately 45 seconds at 70 dB operation—about the same as normal conversation. This rapid cycle time means quick daily vehicle access for your double parking setup without disturbing family or neighbors.
The 3 HP motor delivers reliable power for smooth, controlled ascent and descent. Daily convenience: Whether accessing your daily driver truck or rotating seasonal SUVs, the A6W car stacker makes dual-level residential parking effortless for everyday use.

The A6W features five automatic ratcheting lock positions for adjustable under-car clearance. Top-lock under-clearance ≈ 76″ in typical installs; intermediate values vary by installation and vehicle setup. Refer to the Installation & Owner's Manual for precise clearance measurements at each position.
Usage Note: Measure your lower vehicle's total height including roof racks, antennas, and luggage carriers. Ensure adequate clearance above the lower vehicle for comfortable door opening and passenger entry/exit. Contact us to verify optimal lock position for your specific vehicle pairing.
Ceiling Height & Fit Guide
Quick rule: Required Total Height = Upper vehicle + platform/structure + Lower vehicle + safety margin.
- Example: Upper 49″ (sports car) + platform/structure ~6″ + Lower 57″ (sedan) + 6″ margin = 118″ → fits under a 120″ (10 ft) ceiling.
Exact platform/structure stack height varies by install. See the manual for precise stack dimensions.
Stack height note: Use "platform + structure" height from the manual when calculating clearance. Dimensions can vary by configuration.
Perfect for Home Garages (Residential Use)
The A6W excels as a home car lift, providing parking lift storage solutions specifically designed for residential garages needing extra width. Its compact scissor design and low ceiling compatibility make it ideal where traditional lifts won't fit.

Available Finishes: Galvanized Platform with Powder-Coated Frame
The Autostacker A6W features a hot-dipped galvanized steel loading platform for maximum corrosion resistance, combined with a durable powder-coated frame structure.

Both finishes work together to ensure decades of reliable service in residential and commercial garage environments.

FAQs
How much does an Autostacker A6W cost?
Pricing varies by freight zone, accessories, and installation. Contact us for current Autostacker price and lead time. The cost typically includes free freight shipping to continental USA, but final pricing depends on your specific configuration and location.
What ceiling height do I need in a home garage?
Many installs work in 9-10 ft garages. Confirm using your vehicle heights + platform (6") + safety margin (6") at the preferred lock position. The Autostacker A6W's low ceiling compatibility makes it ideal for residential car lift applications where traditional lifts won't fit.
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". These Autostacker dimensions provide 8 inches more overall width than the standard A6S model, giving you extra interior space for comfortable door clearance while maintaining the same drive-through width.
Is the Autostacker good for low ceilings?
Yes: its compact scissor design helps where traditional lifts won't fit. Verify your exact stack height with our ceiling check formula. This home car lift works in most residential garages with 9-10 ft ceilings, making it ideal for low ceiling installations.
Is the A6W platform truly galvanized?
Yes: the full-length loading platform is hot-dipped galvanized and drip-proof for maximum corrosion resistance. The main structural frame features durable powder coating. This dual-finish approach provides optimal protection: galvanization where moisture and road salt contact is highest, powder coating for the frame structure.
Can I buy a used Autostacker?
Used units are rare; safety inspections are essential. We can notify you when certified trade-ins appear. For the best warranty and safety assurance, we recommend new BendPak Autostacker units with full manufacturer support.
