Choosing an automotive scissor lift
A scissor (or scissor car lift) raises the vehicle straight up on a folding platform, taking up far less floor space than a post lift and leaving the bay open when lowered. They range from low, portable units to full-rise alignment platforms.
Mid-rise vs. short-rise vs. full-rise
Mid-rise lifts like the Challenger MR6 and Forward 6000MRL raise to about waist height — perfect for tire, brake, and detail work, and many are portable so you can roll them out of the way. Short-rise pad lifts like the SRM10 sit flush for quick under-car access. Full-rise scissor lifts such as the DX77 and Rotary RLP77 reach standing height, and alignment scissor lifts like the SX14 add slip plates for wheel alignment.
Portable car lift options
If you want a portable car lift you can move between bays or store against a wall, a portable mid-rise scissor is the answer — no permanent install, plugs into available shop air and power.
Capacity & install
Most automotive scissor lifts run 6,000–14,000 lb. Surface-mount and flush-mount options are available, and many low-rise units are free-standing. Compare with our 2-post lifts or browse all car lifts.
