Scissor & Mid-Rise Lifts

Scissor and mid-rise lifts are the drive-on answer when you need to get a vehicle up fast for brake, tire, suspension, and undercar work — without giving up the floor space or overhead clearance a two-post or four-post demands. There's no overhead beam and no swing arms to set; you drive on, lift, and work.

The trade-off to know up front: these are not walk-under lifts. Mid-rise lifts top out around 22–53 inches, which is perfect for sitting on a stool doing brakes and tires, but if you need to stand under the vehicle for exhaust or transmission work, you want a two-post or four-post instead. Tell us what you're working on and we'll point you to the right one — that's what the Fit Check is for.

The scissor & mid-rise lifts we carry

Hobbyist / home garage — Challenger MR6 (6,000 lb, portable). A rolling mid-rise with a built-in tow dolly and no anchoring required. Runs on standard 110V household power. Built for brake, tire, and wheel work in a home garage — rolls out of the way and stores against the wall when you're done. Hobbyist-rated, not for daily commercial use.

Express service shop — Challenger SRM10 (10,000 lb mid-rise scissor). Built for high-volume bays doing brakes, tires, and express oil changes. 22 inches of rise in about 75 seconds for fast turnover, a manual mechanical safety lock (no shop air required), and a flush-mount option if you want it level with the floor. Needs 4" / 3,500 PSI concrete and 208–230V.

Quick-lube / oil-change — Blazer 9000 (lube-pit scissor). A drive-on lube-pit lift that surface-mounts with included ramps or drops into an existing pit. Sized for the in-and-out throughput a quick-lube bay lives on; 9,000 lb capacity, 208–230V.

Alignment shops — Challenger SX14 (14,000 lb alignment scissor) & Rotary X14 (14,000 lb scissor). The SX14 is dealer-grade and arrives fully bundled — two rolling jacks, stainless turn plates, slip plates, and LED lighting all included — for daily 2- and 4-wheel alignments. The Rotary X14 is the open-front/open-rear drive-on option when you want fast service flow without alignment plates. (Doing alignments? See our alignment lifts page for the full lineup.)

How to choose

What's the heaviest vehicle you'll lift? 6K covers cars and light trucks; 10K covers most shop work; 14K covers full-size trucks and alignment work.
Home or commercial? The MR6 is hobbyist-rated and runs on 110V. The SRM10, Blazer, SX14, and X14 are commercial-duty and need 208–230V.
Do you need alignment plates? If yes, the SX14 is purpose-built. If you just need to lift, the SRM10 or X14 cost less.
Surface or flush mount? Most install on the surface; the SRM10 and SX14 offer recessed/flush kits if you want a clean floor.

Every one of these needs the right concrete and power, and most are ALI-certified — we confirm all of that before you buy.

Buying from Auto Lift Services

We don't just ship a lift and wish you luck. Every sale starts with a free Fit Check — we verify your concrete thickness/PSI, ceiling height, electrical, and the vehicles you actually service, so the lift fits your bay the first time. Install coordination is available on a deposit basis. And because we install and service these lifts every day, we stock the wear parts to keep them running.
