CAR LIFTS/ ELEVATORS

Nelca Systems provides tailored support throughout your parking projects. We share our expertise to help you select the best parking solution and assist during the garage design phase to determine the exact lift specifications. Once finalized, we take care of supplying and delivering your parking solution.

Based in the heart of Toronto, our team travels across provinces to ensure every project is delivered with the same high level of professionalism.

We offer a range of parking solutions, from custom-built underground parking lifts (elevator-type systems) to standard 2-post parking lifts. We are also open to new and unique projects involving innovative parking solutions. If we have the capability to help bring your project to life, even outside our usual scope, we will be glad to assist.

All equipment is designed and manufactured to meet CWB and CSA standards.

Yes, we offer site visits when required. This allows us to better understand your project, evaluate site conditions, and ensure the proposed parking solution fits your space and technical requirements. Give us a call or send us an email and we’ll be happy to arrange a visit. Not located in the GTA? Reach out anyway, we’ll find a solution.

No, we do not provide installation services. However, we work with several installers across the GTA, Ontario, and Quebec, and we’ll be happy to recommend the closest one to you.

Pricing varies depending on the type of system, platform size, lifting capacity, and installation requirements. As all our systems are custom-made to your specifications, we provide tailored quotes for each project. Contact us or submit your project inquiry to receive a free quote.

A car elevator (like the Vault)(/the-vault) is a fully concealed underground system that moves vehicles vertically between ground level and a subterranean parking bay. When lowered, the entire mechanism is invisible. A parking lift (like our 2-post systems) uses visible columns to stack one vehicle above another in a standard garage. Car elevators are ideal for luxury homes and architectural projects where aesthetics matter, while parking lifts are a more accessible, cost-effective option for doubling your parking capacity.

Yes. While our team is based in Toronto, we serve residential and commercial clients across all of Canada — including the Greater Toronto Area, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, and beyond. We coordinate delivery and work with local installers in each region.

Both. New construction is the simpler path because the pit and structural requirements can be designed into the foundation plans from the start. Retrofit installations in existing homes are absolutely possible, though they involve more complexity — including excavation in or near the existing structure, potential structural reinforcement, and routing of electrical and drainage. A site visit is the best first step for retrofit projects.

Because all our systems are custom-made to your specifications, lead times vary depending on the complexity and configuration of your project. After your order is confirmed and specifications are finalized, we will provide a clear delivery timeline. Contact us (/contact)to discuss your project schedule and we will work to accommodate your timeline.

The installation timeline depends on the type of system. A 2-post parking lift can typically be installed in one to two days. An underground car elevator like the Vault (/the-vault)requires more time — the civil works (pit construction, waterproofing, drainage) represent the longest phase, followed by mechanical installation and electrical hookup. Total project timelines for underground systems vary based on site conditions and local permitting.
