Spacer 25/2

Spacer 25/2 is an innovative stand-alone parking platform that uses a pit to let you park two cars completely independently.

With its completely flat platform, hot dipped galvanised on both the upper side and underneath, Spacer 25/2 ensures years of safe yet high performance for lifting vehicles.

Once the platform moves to its correct position it’s mechanically locked into place, allowing it to be utilised as a trafficable area and complying with relevant New Zealand Standards.

An outstandingly robust system, Spacer 25/2 can accommodate a car weighing up to 2.5 tonnes on each platform.

The structure connecting Spacer 25/2 upper and lower platforms uses a very sturdy frame to guarantee safety. Both the tops and undersides of the platforms are galvanized, increasing quality and offering improved product life. What’s more, the platform surfaces are perfectly smooth and so compact that no liquids can drip down onto the vehicles below.

The structure is repeated on the lower part of the underlying platform, providing unsurpassed sturdiness for the entire unit.

The direct-operation lift piston is positioned to the side of the column, maintaining structural integrity without any holes which would weaken the structure.

The column is fixed to the wall with perforated L-shaped steel brackets that guarantee stability and safety.

The shoulder connected to the platform is fixed to the upper end of the piston shaft, allowing it to slide along the column.

The torsion bar is composed of two sections secured in the centre by a mechanical joint. The torsion bar system makes balancing the weight on the platforms unnecessary, as it distributes any uneven weight along the entire torsion bar and enables the two pistons to work symmetrically so they cannot be thrown out of balance.

This photo shows the intermediate joint on the torsion bar.

The lower platform has a hatch to access to the lower level for controls and maintenance. The access is set in the centre of the platform, ensuring it’s accessible even when vehicles are parked.

Spacer 25/2 has a system that mechanically blocks the platform floor, ensuring the platform remains safely at the set level. This system cuts in when the hydraulically operated piston emerges from the column.

The piston emerging from the column enters a special opening on the guide shoulder.
When the piston enters this opening, the shoulder – which had surpassed the piston itself by a few centimetres to facilitate insertion – drops down once more so that it rests on the opening.

At this point the entire hydraulic system can depressurise since the platform is mechanically locked at the level.

Spacer 25/2 operating assembly is compact and takes up little space; yet it still provides easy access to the controls and for maintenance.

The pushbutton control panel has an up and down buttons, a mushroom-shaped emergency button, and activation keys. It is supplied with illustration of the operations required to manage the Spacer 25/2 function.
