Creative Uses for Your Subterranean Parking Lift

Creative Uses for Your Subterranean Parking Lift

June 6, 2025

Subterranean parking lifts are most commonly associated with car storage. But what if we told you that a Vasari underground lift can do far more than provide additional parking space? These innovative systems, while ideal for storing and hiding your everyday vehicle, can optimize your garage space, completely transforming how you use and access your garage or driveway.

Vasari lifts maximize space and expand options through cleverly designed layouts that adapt to any home footprint. Let’s explore some creative uses homeowners can use for their Vasari subterranean parking lift.

More Than Just Multi-Vehicle Storage: Creative Lift Uses

A Vasari subterranean parking lift is engineered for versatility. With a platform that raises and lowers into a concealed underground pit, the possibilities go far beyond simply hiding your primary vehicle.

Homeowners across the country are leveraging these lifts to:

  • Lift for Golf Carts: A lift for golf carts helps keep your recreational vehicle safe and out of sight when not in use. These are especially popular in gated neighborhoods and golf course communities.
  • Park Motorcycles, ATVs, or Bikes: Rather than cluttering your garage with smaller vehicles, store them securely beneath the surface and free up valuable floor space.
  • Seasonal Vehicle Rotation: Use your lift to switch between vehicles according to the season, eliminating the need for off-site storage. For example, you can securely store your convertible or motorcycle during the winter while you wait for warmer weather.
  • Store Boats and Watercrafts: Avoid HOA violations and expensive marina fees by discreetly storing your boat on an underground lift.
  • Store Recreational Vehicles: Keep your camper van or recreational vehicle securely out of sight between road trips.
  • Swimming Pools: Yes, you read that right. Vasari’s lifting technology can be used to create a swimming pool whenever needed. When not in use, the lift will rise to be flush with the ground, allowing you to utilize your space for any dry activities. 

Layout Flexibility for Any Setup

The creativity that can be applied to these lifts extends beyond what is being stored. A subterranean parking lift can be adapted to accommodate various garage or driveway configurations and sizes, ranging from tight garage spaces to spacious driveways leading to multi-car garages. 

We’ve worked with a range of footprints, such as:

  • Narrow Single-Car Garage: We optimize vertical space by stacking a vehicle below and above the garage floor, keeping your floor clear for other storage or workspaces.
  • Two-Vehicle Driveways: We can install a lift in one lane, leaving the other free for daily use. This setup is ideal for discreetly and securely storing collector cars or recreational vehicles.
  • Detached Garage Bays: We can maximize your detached garage by installing a subterranean lift that improves safety and security while doubling your storage space.
  • Courtyard Driveway: When aesthetics matter, we can design a lift that installs seamlessly with the look and feel of your current driveway.

Installation Requirements to Keep in Mind

While the benefits are clear, it’s important to plan your lift installation carefully. Here are some key measurements to consider:

  • Minimum Pit Size: Most applications require a pit that’s at least 10 feet deep, 10 feet wide, and 20 feet long.
  • Ceiling Height: For smooth operation and accessibility, your garage ceiling should offer at least 9 feet of vertical clearance.
  • Accessibility & Surrounding Space: Ensure you leave room to comfortably enter and exit your vehicle while it’s on the lift, both above and below ground.

These specs can vary depending on the type of lift and vehicle. For more guidance, check out our planning guidelines
