And the new toy is home! So frigging cool! I got this used low rise scissor lift for a really good deal. It weighs a few hundred pounds but a 2x4 to leverage and lift her onto 3 furniture dollies and she moves around the garage beautifully. The hydraulic power unit is labled Rotary. Rotary and Mohawks are really good brands. The lift itself don't don't look like a Rotary but a Bendpak. I have not really taken a good look at it all around other than to check that it lifts and work correctly and wear and tear. These things can be had for around $550 used if you find one. I got it cheaper than that but I got lucky. She plugs into the 110 wall socket and she is ready to lift. Never again will have have to "stock pile project" to do them all at once. I hated lifting the car and setting jack stands. Now, I just drive over the 2x10 ramps, turn engine off, e-break, set lift block, and press the button and up she goes! So very cool!

We use the Shelby to position the lift int he garage as that is the longest and biggest car we have.






This thing is plenty high to do things under the car. There is plenty of room and clearance to do work under the car. This is a MX5 on the lift. Here are some underside pics to show clearance and accessibility of the underside. These pictures are taken from the front of the car going back.





In this picture you can see the cross member of the lifting platform and what you have to work with.
