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 |

2/4 post better for maintenance.
A scissor is probably the best way to even out a rusty and folding 914 ( or other ) chassis. The load of the car is spread out on the pads of the lift not the wheels which allows the ar to go back into it's natural relaxed state. post lift provides more room for storing cars indoors scissor loft is better for brake suspension and wheel work Scissor lift is a bitch to roll dead cars over by yourself if they have a drivetrain in them. I know I do it almost daily. At home you can recess it as others have done post lift requires a high ceiling either will get a car high enough to mount on a rotisserie, but once mounted the scissor is still in the way 50/50 |
