I've got a big set of axle stands, but the jacking required to get a car onto them is downright dangerous. Had a moment the other week. Want to get some more sensible lifting organised.
The garage has an uneven floor that slopes towards the door by roughly 15mm per metre. It's got a high roof, but the roof trusses are cheap and have a horizontal beam that would limit the lift to about 1.2m.
Had been considering a 2 post lift together with floor concrete and roof mods, but I'm moving towards a mobile scissor lift that I can store out of the way when not in use. It's a rented workshop so probably easier not to modify it.
Does anyone have a scissor lift? Something like http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-LIFT-...987?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4cfdd5ed03 Lifts 1.2m so no roof truss raising required.
Got to be better than where I am at the moment. Any trouble or annoyances with them? Or other ideas for a lift?
