What Is This Lift Called?

[SpeedThrills]

Cold? I didn't think Texas got cold. Try Chicago.

I guess temp is all relative. 60 in Florida they all complainin’!
We’re heading to Chicago this week. I asked my wife to tell me again why we’re going now? (Christmas visit to her daughter’s. It’s always fun, even when it’s cold!)

Nothing worth seeing in Chicago.... Blah

I know it wasn't the question but I've wondered why people are interested in these. They aren't cheap (cost 2/3rds the price of a 2 post or 4 post lift) and have limited use. You can't store a car under it, work in the middle of the car, work underneath (at least easily) and how often do you need both ends of the car up in the air? They also take up a garage space. Even with my 4 post lift I sometimes just slide a floor jack under one end or one corner to do tires or get underneath for a small job. I would look at one of those pneumatic/hydraulic floor jacks as an option or perhaps the Maxjax portable 2 post lift. Perhaps check our www.garagejournal.com to see what people say about these.

Because doing collision/body work with a two-post sucks.
At one point I had about 6 of these scissor lifts in my body shop. Makes your guys more efficient and keeps everyone from crawling around on the floor all day.

One significant drawback of the 2 post hoist, without a doubt.
