Challenger MR6 Scissor Lift, Anyone using? Options

[BeatNavy]

I'm about to pull the plug and get a mid-rise scissor lift. My buddy down the street, Mustang guy, did most of the research, and he thinks we should get the MR6 from Challenger (Each of us get one, not one for us to share. That would be weird.)

From the research I have done, all mid-rise scissors seem to work in similar manner and have generally similar performance specs. Searching on the World here I find a) most people regret not getting one sooner, and b) nobody has mentioned the Challenger MR6, which I find odd. See lots of Greg Smiths and HF models mentioned.

So...does anyone have experience with this one and/or have a reason for or against, either for use with teener, or, for that matter, a Mustang?

Would love a 2-post, but that's not an option in my garage.

Height is pretty important to me, as I'd like to be able to get under the car and work at least somewhat comfortably, as well as do engine drops with the lift. Most mid-rise scissor lifts go around 44 to 52 inches w/o the adapters.

It looks similar in size the the Greg Smith lift I have. You won't regret the purchase. Makes life a lot easier.

Sweet. I hope so.

It's surprising how logistically challenging it is to get one of these into your garage if you don't have industrial equipment. Both my neighbor and I have steep driveways, and the reseller for this particular lift PROMISED he'd put it into our garages, not just dump it in the driveway. And others won't even get it off the truck for you, as it's too big for a lift gate.

Logistically challenging is an understatement:







Three very difficult steps and I had it unloaded!
