So,
How useful are the 5-6 foot scissor lifts versus the standard 2 post lifts.? I am about to buy a new one...they are the exact same price. The two poster does add , well, two posts to my shop...good or bad has yet to be determined. What are you views? Rich |

I would imagine that the scissors lift may be portable, so gives you more flexability around the shop.
One the other hand, the twin post lifts are very popular for a reason. Can't see anything that a scissor lift can do that a two post lift can't. |

Interesting...I can see that the scissor adds portability and it does not have the big huge two posts in the middle of my shop. I have a 36 foot wide bay that I drive into the middle and fix cars. The outer thirds are for shop tools and various car projects underway. I keep the middle open for live projects and winter parking. I raised the roof a while back with the anticipation of getting a lift...but then I lost my job. Now I am back working again and a lift may be one of my xmas presents. Rich |
