Across Australia, many people are looking for smart storage spaces to keep all of their beloved possessions. A car is one of the biggest purchases you will generally make in your life, so it makes sense that many people spend a lot of time thinking about how to properly store them when not in use. Using up a whole garage for a car seems a bit old fashioned now, but just putting a tarp on them feels a little like neglect when you spend so much on the car. You may have heard some commonly repeated 'facts' about a car lift that have put you off the idea, so here is a quick look into three of the most popular ones.

You Need A Lot Of Space For A Car Lift

While a car lift does make sense as an efficient way to move cars around a large parking lot, you do not need a huge space for a car lift to be installed. Any regular-sized garage can fit a car lift, and the actual size of a car lift can be tailored to your vehicles and space. Car lifts are not a 'one-size-fits-all' solution to storage, but rather an umbrella term for lots of different types of storage and transportation. Talk to a contractor if you are worried about how much space it will take up and you may just be surprised.

They Are Far Too Expensive

When you consider just how much people spend on cars in their lifetime, it becomes a lot less crazy to consider purchasing a car lift to store them. A good car lift can massively increase the amount of storage you have in your home or business. It also should be noted that in many of Australia's large cities, car parks can sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. Adding an extra car park in your own home for a fraction of this price seems like a no-brainer. 

Takes Too Long To Install

Car lift contractors are very quick to listen to your needs when it comes to designing and installing a lift for your particular needs. They do this as quickly as possible so that they can move on to the next project and continue getting their name out there. The actual process of creating a car lift can be under a month from start to finish, and only a portion of that is the actual construction period. Not a lot of time to lose when you consider that the end result is virtually doubling your existing car storage space.
