I'm looking for compact scissor lift. Does anyone have an experience with one or a good place to buy one?

Give Mike Gagen a shout. He's go one.

Doug W in the club sold me his 110v scissor lift when he changed to a post style lift.
I recessed the scissor lift 6 inches into the garage floor.
So it sits flush with garage floor so no ramps required, low cars no problem.
I use it frequently during brake service and track prep.
Several threads on the Pelican bbs cover similar lifts.

After doing some internet research, I'm now looking at the pros and cons of scissor lift vs a 2-post lift. Any opinions out there?

Interested in any discussion to follow.

I am looking real hard at a single post lift to be used for the same purpose. Here is the URL http://www.e-autolifts.com/pl/pl.html. Looks like more work to stabilize, but also more flexibility and space afterwards. Problem with scissor lift is access underneath and parking (which is one of my requirements).

Caught some air coming off the Grapevine at ButtonWillow last year.

I've had a Bendpak scissor for about 5 years now. I've got ramps that I pull up on and park the 911 over it. There is no issue with any access. I even used to work on my 928 on it, changing out the exhaust. It is simply the best tool I've got in my garage. I suppose if you needed access to a driveline or center-mounted tranny, it may take some creativity. But for rear engined or front engined/rear transaxle cars, it is hard to beat. Easier to fit in normal garages too.

BREAKING NEWS!!! Just got a voice mail from DavidQ, and HE SAYS...Forget the scissors lift and go with the 2-post lift. There you have it folks, the man has spoken there will be no scissor lift in the Marlin garage. . Now where is that bottle of Jagermeister!!!

They restored DQ’s phone privileges?

I had this one for about a year... it's was OK... hard to get a low car on it. It really made it hard to want to use. I went to this one two years ago. Also, you can put another car under it!!!



Call Frank at Advanced lifts in San Diego, he is a great trustworthy guy. Sometimes he has great blowout deals on used lifts also.

Make sure that you have not only the overhead clearance but can also open/close the garage door!

Now where is that bottle of Jagermeister!!!

BUMP...

Maybe a "portable two post lift" search
See ya Saturday? Rick

The bolt in two-posts are totally dependant on the quality of the concrete floor ...
