Good afternoon,
So, after over a year contemplating on what form of lift to get. I have made a short list for two following 2 options (same cost options);
- mind you the garage I have has a low ceiling (2.6m) and is quite narrow (3.6m). And by using the lift I get an extra car storage spot.
1. 2 Post Lift (TW242GE)
+ classic, stable, higher lifting capability
- not portable, not movable, takes up allot of space on the sides
2. Scissor Lift (TWS3-10E)
+ movable, portable, more space on the sides
+ bottom of the car is more obstructed, max lift is 100cm
So, in short, I prefer personally the scissor lift as in the off chance that I will move, or change the arrangement of the garage. I will have the flexibility to more easily adjust. Price of the scissor lift is plus minus the same. QUESTION, is there anything that cannot be done on the scissor lift that could be done on the 2 post?
Examples;
- Engine / Trans out? max height of the scissor is 100cm (±40")
- Suspension work?
- Other?
I am attaching some renders I did in Blender to give a visual impression + a 996 on a lift
