Scissor lift recommendations?
Scissor lift recommendations?
Does anyone out there have any experience with scissor lifts?
I'm looking to get a new lift for the shop. There are so many lowered/modded cars now, that our standard 2-post lifts are getting to be a real pain, and not to mention a liability, to work with. We have to MacGyver a bunch of 2x6 wood planks and use rubber blocks, etc. to get these cars up... I'm thinking about just biting the bullet and forking out for a new lift. Just looking to see if anyone has any recommendations or advice to contribute.
This BendPak looks nice, and I have an older BendPak 2-post, good quality lifts. I just don't like that it only lifts 68" my techs and myself are taller than that, so that might pose to be an inconvenience on long jobs.

This one from Atlas has a higher lift capacity and at a cheaper price, but I've never used this brand before.

Also a few other guys have recommended some ones from China, that are much cheaper. Just worried about quality.

Here is one of the China ones that was recommended to me by a buddy a few shops down. Ever-Eternal EE-6503

I have a Titan lift in my garage and it is pretty nice and was reasonably priced. I have a buddy that works for them so I can recommend them for experience and a connection. Here's what I have and it lifts my g35x no problem. The only bad thing is that I had to build ramps out of wood to get my lowered car onto it...
