Inground Lifts
Inground car lifts keep your bay clean and open — the cylinders and arms live below the floor, so the shop looks great and traffic flows freely. Challenger and Rotary SmartLift inground service lifts, professionally installed, with 0% financing.
Why choose an inground lift?
Inground lifts mount their cylinders in a sealed cassette beneath the floor, leaving only the arms above the slab. The result is the cleanest, most open bay you can build — no overhead beam, no posts crowding the doors — which is why dealerships and high-end shops prefer them.
Standard vs. wide vs. hybrid
The Challenger EV is the standard 10K–12K inground 2-post. The EW Wide spaces the arms farther apart for wider vehicles and light trucks. The EH10 hybrid combines inground cylinders with above-ground convenience. Rotary's SmartLift is a self-contained inground service lift with a sealed environmental cassette.
Installation considerations
Inground lifts require excavation and a sealed containment cassette to protect the environment, so installation is more involved than a surface lift — but the payoff is a permanently clean, open bay. We handle the full install, including the cassette and electrical/hydraulic hookup.
Compare
If excavation isn't practical, a surface 2-post lift delivers the same wheels-free access above ground. Browse all car lifts to compare.
