In-ground lifts: Are they worth the investment?

No matter which vehicle lift you choose for your commercial workshop, you’re looking at a significant investment.

It’s one size-fits-allIt creates space in your workshopIt’s multiple lifts in one

So if you’re running a tight budget, you want the most bang for your buck. And with an in-ground lift, that’s exactly what you’re getting.

Here’s why an in-ground lift could be one of the best financial decisions you make for your workshop:

It’s one size-fits-all

A Totalkare in-ground lift is one of our strongest and largest commercial vehicle lifts, with the capacity to raise almost any size and weight of vehicle.

With the maximum configuration of 8 columns at 15,000kg each, you’re looking at a lifting capacity of 120,000kg — which is more than enough for just about every type of vehicle you’re likely to find in a workshop.

But beyond the weight itself, it’s also one of the longest installations you can get. Unlike some other vehicle lifts, there’s no fixed platform length to worry about. With an installation of up to 8 columns in a row, you’ll have a single lift that can handle some of the longest vehicles around.

So if you’re looking to get the most out of your investment in a lift — or you need a single installation that works with as many vehicles as possible — an in-ground lift is one of the most versatile investments you can make for your workshop.

It creates space in your workshop

Whether you’re running a compact workshop or a spacious depot, floor space is always going to be at a premium. And a vehicle lift is one of the largest installations you’ll have in your premises.

But with an in-ground lift, you don’t have to worry about the space it takes up — and that has a massive effect on your throughput.

Most vehicle lifts occupy a space that’s comparable to the vehicle being lifted. That’s especially true with a fixed installation lift, which usually comes with a frame or fixed columns.

And if your workshop doesn’t need to lift all day, that’s a huge amount of space that’s not being put to good use.

But with an in-ground lift, you’ve got a fixed installation that completely retracts into the ground. You’ll get a flush fit with the floor of your workshop, which means you can use that space for other non-lifting jobs — boosting your overall throughput, and getting your teams moving onto the next vehicle sooner.

You can roll out smaller testing equipment to create a new workstation, or reposition your workshop furniture to give your teams better access to the tools they need.

And with our own Totalkare in-ground lift, you’ll get a built-in heavy-duty roller cover with a capacity of 7,000kg. So when your lift isn’t in use, you can park smaller vehicles directly on top of it — or simply use the space to create new routes to drive vehicles through your workshop.

It’s multiple lifts in one

Along with our mobile column lifts, an in-ground lift is one of the few commercial vehicle lifts that lets you lift multiple vehicles at once — with just a single installation, and a single investment.

On a basic level, the columns function together as one single vehicle lift. But by grouping its columns into independent sets, you can turn a single lift into multiple lifts — without any physical changes to the installation you have.

With the maximum configuration of eight columns, you could potentially raise up to four smaller vehicles at once, with independent controls and safety measures to completely separate the jobs at hand.

And when you’re finished with the four jobs?

It’s as simple as reconfiguring your columns into the groups you need for the next job — whether that’s lifting a single coach, two vans, or four LCVs at once.

So if you’re only planning to invest in one lift for your workshop, you’re effectively getting up to four separate lifts for the price of a single installation. And that means an in-ground lift could be the most cost-effective investment you make.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
