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 |

flat scissor lift ...pretty much flat bottom cars only Not really.... they provide you with rubber blocks to put under a frame. For instance I lift my 2500HD GMC truck with no problem (6900 lbs). I set the blocks under the frame. You could lift any car. The worst scenario is you have to add some blocks to catch the frame without hitting something else. My Prius and Subaru can be lifted without anything. The 914 takes a small rubber block under the donuts The lift is a Bend Pak SP-7 Any lift is a personal choice based on needs. For me I wanted height, no floor space usage, wheels free when lifted and drop an engine out the bottom. The Bend Pak was the best I found for those needs. |
