Scissor Lifts

Scissor lifts give you a low-profile, drive-over way to raise a vehicle without the posts or overhead structure of a two- or four-post lift. Compact and often portable, a scissor lift is ideal for tire and brake work, quick service, and shops where floor space and ceiling height are tight. Our scissor lifts range from low-rise pad lifts to mid-rise and full-rise models for cars and light trucks.

Mid-Rise vs. Full-Rise Scissor Lifts

Low- and mid-rise scissor lifts raise a vehicle a few feet — perfect for wheel, brake, and rocker-panel work while seated. Full-rise scissor lifts bring the vehicle to standing height for full undercarriage access, rivaling a two-post lift while keeping the sides clear.

Why Choose a Scissor Lift

• Space-saving: No posts and a low profile fit shops with limited room or low ceilings.
• Portable options: Many models roll where you need them and store against a wall.
• Fast cycles: Drive on, lift, and get to work — great for high-volume tire and brake jobs.
• Alignment ready: Full-rise models are available with alignment features and turn plates.

What to Look For

Match the lifting capacity to your heaviest vehicle, confirm the rise height suits the work you do, and decide between a flush-mount installation and a surface-mount portable unit based on your floor and workflow.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a mid-rise and full-rise scissor lift?

Mid-rise lifts raise a vehicle a few feet for seated wheel and brake work; full-rise lifts reach standing height for full undercarriage access.

Are scissor lifts portable?

Many mid-rise and low-rise models are — they roll into position and store against a wall. Full-rise and alignment lifts are more often surface- or flush-mounted.

Do scissor lifts need special floor prep?

They need solid, level, adequately thick concrete like any lift. Flush-mount models require a recessed pit, while surface-mount models bolt directly to the slab.
