A vertical lift system for storage and in particular for parking motor vehicles comprising a multi-level frame comprising a structure extending upward from a base, and a lifting mechanism centrally positioned within the frame and in communication with each level, and a plurality of platforms positioned on each level about the lift mechanism the plurality of platforms for the receipt of a vehicle. The lift mechanism has capability to retrieve a selected vacant platform and transport it to an entrance/exit level, which can be located at any level within the structure, for positioning of a vehicle thereon, and subsequent transportation to its position on the frame. The lift mechanism provides for shifting the platform and the vehicle thereon either forwardly or rearwardly on the structure into a parking space, laterally to either side into a parking space, and either a forward and lateral or rearward and lateral movement into a parking space thereby providing eight parking spaces surrounding the lift mechanism on each level for vehicles.
