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 decided on the EZcarlift (see photo below), I have limited space in my garage and only work on my own cars. I need the portability. I considered the BendPak but moving it around would be difficult and delivery would be a nightmare, (requires a forklift).

I use it turned 90* and roll it in from the side. That's how Boytchu Manov (not quite how to spell his name) reccomended it. No problem with engine removal this way. Check ezcarlift.com to find the product. |

Check ezcarlift.com to find the product. Hi, I tried it turned the 90* but ran into problems with the lifting points. The front lift points are set into the floor pan about 2 inches, lifting there bends the pan. I place wooden blocks on the lower part of the inner fender, much stronger place to lift the car from. ![]() Attached image(s) ![]() |
