Looking for garage shape with lowering, lifting platforms with lowering?

hi

since we don’t have much space for a garage or carport on our property, I wanted to ask if anyone has experience or knowledge about a garage that can be completely lowered.

so basically a pit that is 2 m deep with a hydraulic press or something at the bottom and a lid on top that can be raised to ground level, so you can drive the car in or out.

I searched on Google for this kind of garage but only came across all sorts of other types that don't really represent this kind.

or maybe someone knows what kind of lift I can use for this. a normal lift with supports on the right and left won’t work, because then the supports would stick out of the ground.

Hi,

that could be difficult because this type of technology is otherwise only found in the duplex garages in large residential complexes. I think all the technology associated with it is certainly very expensive.

Hi Gurke, what is the frontage width of the property, and the depth of the building window? Approximately how wide and deep do you want your house to be?

Flat/level property or hillside location?

- With small properties, good architects can usually help; they have a few tricks up their sleeves – at least I hope so, as we will soon start building (with an architect) too...

I wanted to ask if anyone has experience or knowledge of a garage that can be completely lowered.

Basically a pit that is 2 m deep with a hydraulic press or something at the bottom and a lid on top that can be raised flush with the ground to drive the car in or out.

I searched on Google for this type of garage but only came across all sorts of other kinds that don’t necessarily reflect this type.

The best thing is to call these (and other) providers who offer similar solutions. They always state that individual solutions are possible, and I would rely on that, meaning that there is "the" solution specifically for your property, which experienced garage suppliers can certainly solve.

Also (hence my question above about the size of your building window and your house): it would also be possible to integrate the garage into the house, i.e., below; depending on how high you are allowed to build.

Depending on how deep your property and building window are, you can possibly also place garages on the property, so you drive a bit past the house and then get to the garage.

Of course, there are underground garages as well. But for that, you might need a long approach, and if the building ground is tight, the angle of approach would have to be too steep, I suppose.

- But, as I said, ask the garage providers and maybe also architects (ask the price in advance for what a good tip in your situation would cost).

Hello,

my goodness, you know your stuff really well, do you have a hotline or something? If not, then I would consider opening one because you would surely have a lot of customers.

Hi,

that certainly also depends on the ground, because if the soil is very wet then building such a garage can become a huge effort.

Hi Happy,

lol, no, I’m a complete layperson, but I live by the principle:

You don’t have to know everything.
You just have to know where to find it (in which book or where on the internet), or whom to ask (a specialist).


Since building a house involves a ton of money, and we have nothing to give away, I try to reduce costs by gathering as much information as possible and, what’s most important to me, to avoid construction defects or other potential complications in advance by knowing a bit about it, so that I’m at least only two heads shorter (knowledge-wise) rather than on equal footing when talking to the builder, who could otherwise sell me a pig in a poke without me noticing, or suggest ideas that are more expensive or less practical, etc.

Joerg24 already wrote it in another thread:
It’s advisable to spend about a year informing yourself before building a house, about all the nonsense, so you don’t regret later having done/planned/executed something wrong.

During that short year, I created floor plans... I don’t know how many thousands anymore. You keep coming up with new ideas, also through the new information you accumulate.
