Automotive Scissor Lift

What do you guys think about scissor lifts? Price isn't that bad for something you can fit in any garage.

I don't feel it...
I LOVE HF, but for something that holds a car on top of my head... No thanks

That scissor lift has received a lot of positive reviews of people using it for years. Just seeing if anyone else has it here and what people think.

I saw, but it kinda scares me. That's my only thing.
If you end up getting it, give us a full DIY of install and such!

What does something like this run ? The scissor not the post? If you don't know off hand don't go outta your way just wondering

Does it have some sort of emergency brake/lock? We have a few at work and they lift Infiniti QX's with them no problems. My alignment shop was also rocking a similar one IIRC.

I don't think I am buying this anytime soon. So, those that want me to review it, lol have fun waiting. I do have the harbor freight jacks and jackstand.

I have had one of these for years, lift is 1200mm and there is enought space underneath for gearbox removal and so on. Mine will lift 2000kgs and it gets used for race car, tow car and the Z34

I could not install a 2-post lift beacuse my garage does not have sufficient head-room.

These are a perfect option for a domestic garage where head-height is limited.

Hit up Boosted Performance on here, he has a similar style lift in his garage, he seems to really enjoy it.

3-position safety latch, at lift height of 600, 900 and 1200mm.

Simple triangulated lever drops into a slot, take the pressure off the hydraulics and it locks.

To release the locks, lift the platform ~ 15mm, and it will lower cleanly ....

Simple stuff

For you Americans.

600mm = 23 5/8"
900mm = 35 7/16"
1200mm = 47 1/4"
