"Simplicity is always your best bet if you want to save money and lower your operating costs....  With only one or two moving parts, Low Pressure in-ground lifts are simply the most reliable, cost effective lifts to operate and can have warrantees for 20 years in some cases.  We get calls about some low-pressure in-ground lifts that are 40 to 50 and even 60 years old that are still giving reliable service that may just need a seal kit!  It actually pays to continue repairing them rather than just replacing them with something with a half a hundred parts that begin wearing out the moment you start really using it. 

Furthermore, if anybody tells you in-ground low-pressure lifts are 'against the law because of environmental regulations' they have absolutely NO idea they're talking about... or are simply just misleading you into buying what they have to sell. Some major lift companies in the last 10-15 years took a huge gamble when they stopped making this tried-and-true lift design, that's why now-a-days they just say how bad they are. The reason for this is that they have to push their new 'high-pressure designs' on consumers even though the old design is the most cost effective, most reliable design in existence to this very day.  Even some of the newest lift models available today, are using the same 'tried-and-true' air over hydraulic design but using water based aqueous solutions instead of hydraulic oil in them. See the new Water Operated Challenger "AquaVantage" lift on sale on our Challenger web page if you're interested in learning more."

LINK to EPA Regulations on small underground oil tanks

"Equipment and Machinery that Contain Regulated Substances for Operational Purposes. Equipment and machinery that contain regulated substances for operational purposes, such as hydraulic lift tanks and electrical equipment, are excluded from today's regulations. These specific tank categories were deferred from regulation in the proposal, and the Agency requested comments on whether, and to what extent, these tanks should be subject to regulation under the UST program. Several responses to this request gave reasons why these tanks should not be regulated as USTs."

The difference between "Semi-Hydraulic Lifts" 

and "Full Hydraulic Lifts" 

A FULL HYDRAULIC lift has a separate oil tank and has two valves to operate the lift, an oil-valve and an air-valve.  The oil tank can be under the floor near the lift cylinder(s) or can be mounted on the floor surface next to a wall or even in another room and then piped in. The air is piped through the valve to the tank, where the pressure pushes down on the oil in the tank moving it in a 1-1/4 pipe through an oil control valve to the hydraulic cylinders to raise the vehicle. The raising of the vehicle is controlled by manipulating the lever on the 1-1/4 inch oil control valve.

A SEMI-HYDRAULIC Lift has the oil tank integrated with the hydraulic cylinder itself and only has one valve, an air valve to operate it.  There is no 1-1/4 inch oil pipe leading to the cylinder, instead it has only the 1/2-inch air pipe going to it. The air is discharged from the 1/2-inch pipe that enters the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder going straight up inside, through the oil inside, almost reaching the top. The air pressure builds inside pushing down on the oil, extending the piston and thereby raising the car.  It is operated by simply adding air or removing air from the hydraulic oil reservoir in the cylinder. Semi-Hydraulic lifts are always single post lifts and were made by many different companies throughout the years.   

 

A-1AB1 Semi-Hydraulic

Great for doing exhaust work and other jobs where you need space between the vehicle and lift superstructure and haven't the room in your bay for a two post in-ground lift or columns from a surface lift taking space and have to work around all the time...

This is the space saving most usable single post design you'll find.
