Abstract
The invention relates to an in-ground lifting system and corresponding method for lifting a vehicle. The lifting system includes one or more lifts including at least one moveable lift; a support structure for mounting the one or more lifts in a pit; a moving drive configured for moving the one or more moveable lifts in the pit; a lifting drive configured for lifting one or more of the lifts for raising and/or lowering the vehicle; and a cover configured for covering the pit. The cover includes a number of cover elements. An individual cover element extends in a width direction of the pit. The cover elements are configured to move between a pit covering state and a lift moving state such that the one or more moveable lifts pass over and/or by the cover elements. The cover elements move when one of the one or more moveable lifts moving through the pit is approaching.
