The installation is a construction project and takes several days to weeks. It includes the excavation of the ground, the pouring of the foundation pan (installation cassette) and the curing time of the concrete before the actual stage can be assembled.
Underground lifting platforms - Maximum freedom & perfect optics
The invisible professional for your workshop - for cars to trailer truck.
If you are looking for absolute freedom of movement and value a tidy, representative workshop, the in-ground lift is the best.

Why underground lift? The advantages in the check
The underfloor technology (often also called the stamping platform) is considered the most elegant way of lifting cars. But is she also the right one for you? The vehicle mix and surface determine which version is suitable: you can choose from a wide range of platforms for load capacities from 3.5 to 35 t, and you can also choose from various track lengths and widths, some of which are wide. We trust established manufacturers with solid steel construction, reliable safety locks and maintenance-friendly construction and particularly recommend OMCN platforms - for a long service life and rapid cost-effectiveness. Please contact us by phone or email for a personal recommendation.
Underground ram lift
An underground ram lift works with vertical lifting cylinders (so-called "rams") that are sunk into the ground. For lifting purposes, a hydraulic unit pumps oil directly into these cylinders. The oil pressure causes the cylinders to move vertically out of the ground and lift the vehicle. A control ensures exact synchronization so that the vehicle does not tip over.
Inground scissor lift
An inground scissor lift uses a scissor-shaped metal frame (like an X) that is sunk into the ground. A hydraulic pump is activated at the push of a button for lifting. This presses oil into cylinders that push the scissor frame apart. This causes the “X” to stretch upwards, lifting the platform with the vehicle. Mechanical latches ensure the necessary security.An underfloor lift lifts the vehicle using a hydraulically driven mechanism that is completely recessed into the ground - either via a scissor system or via lifting rams. This means that the platform is at ground level and can be easily accessed by vehicle as there is no driveway height to overcome. This also enables a completely barrier-free workshop area when the platform is not in use and ensures unsurpassed accessibility to the vehicle - ideal for all repair, service and body work.
For work on brakes, tires or the chassis, some in-ground lifts require the vehicle to be raised with an additional wheel-free jack. This particularly applies to rail versions in which the vehicle initially stands on its wheels, similar to a 4-column stage. An integrated axle free jack ensures the necessary accessibility. In contrast to this is the functionality of many other underground systems, such as stamp and frame receiving platforms. Since these lift the vehicle directly on the chassis, a separate wheel-free jack is not necessary. The wheels are freely accessible as standard, which enables immediate work on the entire chassis.
There are special in-ground scissor lifts for wheel alignment that are equipped with long, precisely leveled rails, integrated turntables and sliding plates. In contrast to all above-ground lifts, the decisive advantage of the under-floor lift is its space savings and the barrier-free workshop. It is the premium solution that combines a highly professional look with full functionality for daily maintenance, demanding repairs and precise wheel alignments.
Frequently asked questions
Is an underground stage suitable for every workshop?
Technically speaking, yes, as long as you're allowed to dig. If you are in a rental hall, you need to clarify whether you are allowed to open the floor. For owners, it is often the best long-term solution.
How maintenance-intensive are the devices?
Underground stages used to have a bad reputation due to leaks. This is history. Modern systems with chrome-plated stamps and clean guide cassettes are extremely low-maintenance. The only important thing is to regularly check the seals and the oil level.
Is the lifting height sufficient for all work?
Yes, modern inground lifts usually achieve a lifting height of approx. 1.85 m to 2.00 m. This enables comfortable and ergonomic work while standing under the vehicle.
Can I also use the stage in a laundry hall?
Yes, they are ideal for that! But make sure that you choose a model that is explicitly approved for wet areas (special corrosion protection and waterproof cassette).
Are inground lifts suitable for wheel alignment?
Yes, there are special wheel alignment scissor lifts. These have long, precisely leveled rails, integrated sliding plates for the rear axle and recesses for turntables on the front axle to ensure precise measurements.
What loads can inground lifts handle?
The spectrum is very broad. It ranges from around 3 tonnes for cars to over 5.5 tonnes for vans and light commercial vehicles. There are also special heavy-duty versions for trucks and buses.
For what types of work is the inground lift not suitable?
An inground lift is extremely versatile and ideal for almost all repair and maintenance work. Its limitations lie less in the type of work than in the general conditions: it is unsuitable for temporary workshops or rental properties in which no structural changes (foundation) may be made. Due to its permanent installation, it cannot be moved flexibly.
How do I prepare for installing an in-ground lift?
The most important step for installing your new in-ground lift is the correct preparation of the floor. You must note that the foundation must be prepared by a specialist (not the lift fitter). As soon as this preparatory work is completed, the cassette of the lift is set in concrete and then the actual lift is installed. So you take care of the structural preparation so that the fitter can then use the technology precisely.
