Scissor hoists
Scissor hoists
Just wondering what experiences people have with mid lift scissor hoists ? I have a lot of work to do yet on LOCUTUS so need something better than trolley jacks and stands. Was looking at this one;

Re: Scissor hoists
I’ve considered these on the past, but they don’t look particularly safe to use. I wouldn’t like to get under a car sitting on one.baders wrote: ↑Sun Nov 04, 2018 5:51 am Just wondering what experiences people have with mid lift scissor hoists ?

Re: Scissor hoists
This has a decent list of positive reviews.
I've seen many at track days in NY. and CT.

Re: Scissor hoists
Although Quickjack is owned by Bendpak, these do not seem to be certified by the automotive Lift Institute (www.autolift.org) while their Ranger scissor lifts were certified. Maybe never submitted? Maybe failed? Maybe not engineered sufficiently? Dunno. Suggest a bit more research before you put your butt or brainbucket under one.

Re: Scissor hoists
The Qickjack would be too low for me at only 500mm maximum lift. Another issue is any lift would need to be in Perth as it's exorbitant to ship. Going down to check out the AAQ one in a few days.

Re: Scissor hoists
I posted about the Atlas I bought (same design). Absolutely love using it. Given limitations of renting a house, you can't beat a110V, mid-rise scissor lift. I made arm extenders, so I can lift wider vehicles, like our 530xi wagon.

You will not miss the trolley jack and axle stands, that's for sure.

I have bought garage scissor lift From Classic Lift Australia and I love it. https://classiclift.com.au/
Re: Scissor hoists
I ended up going with a Quickjack due mostly to lack of space and height in my garage for anything else. Super impressed with the quality of gear and instructions.
