So,
How useful are the 5-6 foot scissor lifts versus the standard 2 post lifts.? I am about to buy a new one...they are the exact same price. The two poster does add , well, two posts to my shop...good or bad has yet to be determined. What are you views? Rich |

I have 2 post lift in my shop. Life is much better now. We use it all the time. Easy for pulling motors. Valve adjustments are so simple. I did a valve adjustment at Scotty's in Richmond (Thanks again Scott!). He has a scissor lift. It went well but the 2 post lift was MUCH easier. With the 2 post lift, you can walk under the car. With a scissor lift, you are still low to the floor. Ours cost 1,600 delivered. There was a crack in the floor. This required cutting a 4" square in the floor and pouring new concrete. It was sooo worth it!
