Freedom In Ground
- Overview
- Specifications
- Diagrams
Traditional design utilizing a single hydraulic jack, which is located directly under the platform and installed in the ground.
Advantages:
- Generally the least expensive and easiest to install.
- Offered in both low and high capacity elevators.
- Accommodates front and rear opening configurations.
- Minimal pit and overhead requirements.
Disadvantages:
- The jack must be buried into the ground roughly the same distance as the overall travel.
- Drilling a hole can be expensive and difficult depending on ground water and bedrock.
- Possible ground contamination from oil leak (sealed PVC recommended to prevent contamination)
