Inground Lifts

Inground lifts are space-saving automotive lifting systems installed directly below the garage floor, allowing them to sit flush with the surface when fully lowered. They maximize shop productivity by eliminating above-ground posts, providing unobstructed 360-degree vehicle access, and keeping service bays clear for tool carts or other tasks when not in use.

And remember, we sell, service and can arrange for installation nationwide.

Inground lifts are professional vehicle hoist systems installed directly into the shop floor to maximize available workspace, eliminate overhead obstructions, and provide excellent 360-degree vehicle access. Modern configurations feature fully contained polymer cassette enclosures that isolate hydraulic components from the environment, effectively removing older regulatory and EPA soil-contamination concerns. They are a standard fixture in high-volume commercial repair shops, fleet maintenance facilities, and automotive dealerships.

Core Benefits of Inground Lifts

Space Efficiency: They occupy a significantly smaller footprint than surface-mounted two-post or four-post lifts, letting shops fit more revenue-producing service bays into the same square footage.

Unobstructed Access: Without vertical columns or bulky overhead bars, technicians can easily open vehicle doors completely, move tools around, and perform wheel and undercarriage work.

Aesthetic Appeal: When lowered completely, the shop floor remains entirely flat and flush, producing a clean, premium "showroom style" appearance.

Types Of Inground Lifts

Piston Lifts: Use one or more vertical hydraulic cylinders to raise the vehicle. They offer the standard "wheels-free" design preferred for brake, suspension, and drivetrain work.

Scissor Lifts: Use an intersecting, folding mechanism beneath the runway or lifting pads. They require shallower excavation depths and are highly efficient for rapid alignment, tire service, or inspection bays.

 

One-Stop for Auto Shop Equipment
Think of us as your one-stop location for whatever garage equipment you need. We carry a huge selection of automotive equipment from the leading names in the industry. Our name brand auto shop equipment will give you an edge when handling almost any auto repair or upgrade project. Find out why more and more auto shop owners and home hobbyists are purchasing their garage equipment from ASEdeals.

Planning an In Ground Car Lift Installation

Choosing an in ground car lift starts below the floor, not on the showroom page. Unlike an above ground car lift, a below ground car lift needs an excavated space, so soil conditions, drainage, and the thickness of your existing slab all affect the project. Most inground packages in this collection ship as a complete set that includes the tub, frame, and lift, which gives your installer a defined opening to prepare. Before you order, have a qualified installer assess the site, and confirm excavation, concrete, and permit requirements in the manufacturer's installation manual. Planning this up front is what keeps the project on schedule.

Full Inground or Flush Mount Scissor: Choosing Your Floor Lift

Not every floor car lift requires the same depth of work. This collection includes, among others, cassette-style inground lifts for full excavation and flush mount scissor lifts that sit level with the floor when lowered but need far less digging. Atlas describes its flush mount scissor as requiring minimal excavation, and BendPak offers low-rise, mid-rise, and full-rise flush mount models. Challenger's DX77 double scissor adds another route, available in flush mount and surface mount versions. If your slab is difficult to cut or your budget for groundwork is tight, a flush mount in floor lift may deliver the clear bay you want with a simpler installation.

Capacity and Width for Today's Vehicles

Capacity in this collection runs from 6,000 lbs. to 16,000 lbs., so match the floor lift for cars and trucks to the heaviest vehicle you expect, not the average one. Challenger's cassette lifts come in 10,000 lbs. and 12,000 lbs. capacities, and their wide models offer extra drive-through clearance with no bolster to drive over. That width suits wide vehicles such as the RAM TRX, Hummer EV, Tesla Model X, and Ford Mach-E, and it supports battery lowering on electric vehicles. If your shop services EVs now or plans to, width and capacity deserve more weight than price alone.

Alignment and ADAS Bays

A through the floor lift can also double as an alignment rack. Autel's flush mount scissor alignment lifts range from 12,000 lbs. to 16,000 lbs., and Challenger offers a 14,000 lbs. alignment-ready model. Autel's ADAS Bay Max models are built so one standard bay handles mechanical repair, wheel alignment, and 360 degree ADAS calibration, because the recessed lift leaves a flat calibration floor. For shops adding driver assistance work, that consolidation can matter more than the lift itself.

Cycle Time and Power Units

Speed adds up across a full day of floor lifts cycles. Challenger's QuickCycle option raises the EV1020 in about 25 seconds and lowers it in about 17. Challenger has also added flow control valves to several models that bring lowering time to roughly 20 seconds regardless of vehicle weight. Some models may ship with either a 30 amp Hydraulic Solutions power unit or a 20 amp Bucher unit, so note your preference when you order.

Backed by ASE Deals Since 1996

Here at ASE Deals, we can help you compare brands and configurations, then arrange installation through our nationwide network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add an inground lift to an existing shop floor?

+

Often yes, but it means cutting and removing part of the slab and excavating below it. A flush mount scissor lift usually needs less excavation than a full cassette-style unit. Have an installer inspect the floor, and follow the manufacturer's installation requirements before ordering.

Should I choose a 10,000 lbs. or 12,000 lbs. inground lift?

+

Choose by your heaviest regular vehicle, with a margin for growth. Standard passenger cars and light trucks usually fit within 10,000 lbs. Fleet work, heavy duty trucks, and large SUVs are where the 12,000 lbs. models make sense.

When do I need a wide inground lift instead of a standard one?

+

Choose a wide model when you service wide bodied trucks, exotics, or electric vehicles. The extra drive-through clearance and no bolster to drive over make positioning easier, and wide models support battery lowering on EVs.

What does the QuickCycle option actually change?

+

QuickCycle shortens the time the lift takes to rise and lower, which helps high volume shops that cycle the lift many times a day. It does not change capacity. If your bay turns over only a few vehicles daily, the standard version may be enough.

What happens if I move my shop later?

+

An inground lift is a permanent installation, so it generally stays with the building. If you may relocate, consider a flush mount scissor, which is less invasive, or an above ground model. Call us and we can talk through which fits your plans.
