INGROUND LIFT SYSTEMS

Heavy-duty lifting with a clear shop floor.

Inground systems are permanent facility solutions that preserve working space and can be planned into new construction or major renovations.

What is it?

An inground lift places most lifting components below the shop floor, leaving a clean, open bay above. Heavy-duty versions can be configured for buses, trucks and mixed fleets while preserving technician access around the vehicle.

How it works

Below-floor lifting units raise adjustable contact points or runways. Because the installation becomes part of the building, drainage, utilities, foundation design, environmental protection and future vehicle coverage must be planned early.
