There are several benefits to using scissor lifts. They provide a stable platform for mechanics to safely lift and work on a vehicle. They allow workers to access hard-to-reach areas quickly and easily, reducing the time and effort needed to complete tasks. Scissor lifts can be used for a variety of tasks and are available in various sizes to suit specific needs. Scissor lifts have very little that protrudes beyond the sides of the vehicle (i.e. no external posts), which can save up to 30% of workshop space. They are also a cost-effective alternative to 4 Post lifts when you take into account the fewer wearing parts compared with 4 Post lifts and therefore less ongoing maintenance.

Scissor car lifts are available in a range of designs and configurations to suit different workshop requirements. Three options featured on this page are: Wheel-Free Scissor Lifts: These lifts raise a vehicle by its jacking points, leaving the wheels free for removal and making them suitable for tasks such as tyre, brake and suspension work. Platform Scissor Lifts: These lifts raise the vehicle on its wheels using two platforms, making it quick and convenient to position a vehicle for servicing and maintenance. OMCN X-Line Scissor Lifts: The X-Line range combines the working practicality of a four-post lift with the more compact design of a scissor lift. Its open working area beneath the vehicle provides access from different directions, while the platform configuration can be specified for different workshop applications. Scissor lifts are also available in different working heights and configurations. Depending on the model, options can include mid-rise or full-height designs, recessed or surface-mounted installation, and equipment for wheel alignment. Mid-rise scissor lifts are often used in body or tyre shops, where there is no need to raise the vehicle above 1 metre. Get in touch with Automotive Tools to discuss the various options available.

The most suitable lift depends on the vehicles you service and the work you need to carry out. Consider the required lifting capacity and height, whether you need the wheels free, the platform length, available floor space and whether the lift needs to be recessed or surface-mounted. Wheel-alignment work or the need for a secondary lifting table may also affect the choice. Automotive Tools can help you compare the available options.

While scissor lifts are safe to use when handled correctly, there are still risks involved. You should never exceed the lift's weight capacity, always keep the scissor lift on a level surface, and follow the manufacturer's instructions for use and maintenance. Proper maintenance is essential to ensure the safe and efficient operation of a scissor lift. You should regularly inspect the lift for signs of wear and tear, including cracks, rust and loose bolts. Keep the scissor lift clean and free of debris, and lubricate moving parts in accordance with the manufacturer's maintenance instructions to help prevent corrosion and ensure smooth operation.

Some scissor car lifts are designed for recessed installation, allowing the platforms to sit flush with the workshop floor when lowered. This keeps the workshop floor clear and avoids the raised profile of a surface-mounted lift. If your workshop has limited ceiling height, the lift's maximum lifting height and the height of the vehicles being serviced are also important considerations.
