Luca’s Authentic Experience With CATHAYLIFT ECM-2500 in São Paulo Parking Lot

Jul 20, 2026

Luca Mendes, the client who has run multiple large parking lots across São Paulo for over eight years, shared his genuine experience with the ECM-2500 car mover. Before introducing CATHAYLIFT's electric mover, Luca's team relied on manual towing tools and required vehicle ignition to adjust parking positions, which brought many hidden troubles. "Our underground parking lot has narrow passages and gentle ramps. When owners park their cars improperly, staff have to start the engines to reposition vehicles, wasting massive fuel and risking scratch damage to luxury cars. Manual towing also takes two to three workers to finish one vehicle transfer, extremely inefficient," Luca said. After comparing dozens of mechanical equipment suppliers online, he chose CATHAYLIFT's ECM-2500 model for its complete parameter transparency and FOB Qingdao flexible trade terms.

Upon receiving the machine, Luca's staff finished simple assembly following the attached drawings and started trial operation immediately. The 2.5-ton electric car mover exceeded all his expectations in daily use. First, the machine realizes engine-free vehicle shifting, completely removing the need to ignite customers' private cars. Equipped with a maintenance-free 2×12V/210AH battery and a matched 24V 30A intelligent charger, it can work continuously for an entire work shift after a full charge, and charging requires no special staff supervision. The electronic stepless speed regulation system supports adjustable travel speed from 0 to 6.5km/h, with ultra-low running noise that will not disturb shopping mall visitors and residents in adjacent apartments.

Luca also highly recognized the machine's structural durability and safety design. The whole body adopts 6mm thick high-strength steel plates, which never deform even after frequent heavy-load operation. The electromagnetic braking system delivers instant stable stops, while PU driving wheels reduce floor abrasion inside the parking garage. Complying with international climbing standards, the mover handles 10% gradient slopes empty and 5% slopes under full load, perfectly fitting the sloped driveways of his underground parking lot. Its 2000mm minimum turning radius allows flexible turns in cramped parking aisles; only one operator can complete vehicle lifting, moving and parking adjustment independently, cutting labor costs by more than half.

In terms of after-sales service, Luca mentioned that CATHAYLIFT's sales team provided remote video guidance during unpacking and commissioning, and the one-year global warranty eliminates his worries about long-term usage. "This ECM-2500 car mover is the most cost-effective handling equipment I have purchased in years. It greatly improves our parking management efficiency, reduces vehicle collision complaints from car owners, and lifts the service standard of my parking lot," Luca commented.

CATHAYLIFT's overseas sales manager Stella stated that the order for Luca's 2.5-ton car mover is a typical representative of South American parking industry demand. The company will continue to optimize the ECM series electric car movers covering 2500kg, 3500kg and 4500kg load capacities, adapt product parameters to the road and parking environment of different countries, and provide customized quotation plans for global auto factories, exhibition halls and commercial parking operators. With reliable heavy-duty performance, simple operation and complete supporting services, CATHAYLIFT electric car movers will keep expanding market influence across Brazil and other Latin American nations.
