Freedom In Ground

(Click images to enlarge)

Front Open ONLY

Front and Rear Open

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)
