Getting cars into a mall is done through purpose-built entry points and professional handling, not magic. The typical methods are:
- Back or service entrances: Many malls have wide loading docks or service corridors that are already designed to bring in large items. A car can be driven or wheeled through these areas with the doors or panels removed if needed, and sometimes a ramp or lift is used to reach the floor level. This is the most common, controlled method to place a car inside for events or shows.
- Front entrances or designated show-entry routes: For unveilings or promotional displays, malls often designate a front-facing entrance or a specific route that can accommodate a vehicle, sometimes with doors temporarily removed or doors kept ajar to create a clear path. This allows shoppers to see the car as it enters.
- Vehicle lifts or internal corridors: Once inside, some malls use a vehicle lift or a dedicated internal corridor to move the car to the display area or showroom space, especially if the goal is to position the car on a raised platform or within a specialized exhibit zone.
- Temporary modifications as needed: In many cases, teams will remove or temporarily modify doors or nearby barriers to create enough clearance, always coordinated with mall management to ensure safety and compliance.
Notes and considerations:
- This process is highly planned with mall management, security, and sometimes local permitting. It typically occurs during off-peak hours to minimize disruption and risk.
- Modern malls may feature automated or partially open doors that facilitate moving large items like vehicles for events, though safety protocols and vehicle handling standards remain essential.
