There is provided a compact cantilever platform elevator for lifting and storing goods such as small vehicles overheads for space saving. The platform elevator comprises i) an upright frame having first and second elongated upright members provided with a longitudinal track and an elongated generally orthogonal leg at their lower end, and connected to each other at an upper end thereof by an elongated hoisting box having an axial rotatable shaft for driving first and second hoisting assemblies having respectively a first and a second slender hoisting member extending from a lower end thereof and vertically movable in response to rotation of the shaft, and ii) a cantilever platform connected to the hoisting members and comprising a generally horizontal supporting surface and first and second lateral upright runners adapted to snugly glide in respective first and second tracks of the upright members. Thereby, rotation of the shaft causes the platform to be upwardly or downwardly translated smoothly while being guided by the runners traveling in the tracks. According to specific embodiments, the hoisting members may comprise chains, belts and/or cables, and the hoisting assemblies may comprise chain blocks, sprockets and/or winding hubs.
