In-Ground Holed Hydraulic Elevators


Description

Generally an in-ground holed hydraulic elevator is the least expensive approach; this traditional design has been in use for many decades. Best for low-rise, 2 to 4 stops applications where ground drilling is possible.  It utilizes a single-stage hydraulic jack installed in the ground. The jack is located directly under the car, near the center of the platform.
 

Advantages

  • Usually the lowest material cost application.
  • Accommodates front and rear openings in any configuration.
  • No extensive pit or overhead is required.
  • Available for both low and high capacity cars.
  • Of all the application types, this equipment package is the easiest to install.

Disadvantages

  • Oil contamination in the ground is possible. As a precaution, the jack can be enclosed in PVC pipe. Areas with frequent seismic activity will have the greatest risk of oil contamination.
  • The jack must go down into the ground roughly the same distance as the desired travel (multi-stage jacks can reduce this distance).
  • Drilling a jack hole is expensive and may be nearly impossible in certain structural or geologic conditions.
