 Hello,
I'm considering a mid- or low-rise scissor lift to make access to interiors=
, brakes and suspension easier.=C2=A0 I find I avoid interior and dash work=
 because its so low to the ground I struggle to get and stay that low for a=
ny length of time.=C2=A0 I already have a two-post lift so access to the un=
derside isn't an issue, but access to the interior is difficult with the ar=
ms and post in the way of the door opening.
My concern is whether the popular brands will fit under Triumphs and simila=
r cars.=C2=A0 Does anyone have any experience with these on our cars?=C2=A0=
 Specifically I'm concerned about the narrower width of our cars and that w=
e can't lift on "pinch" welds like most modern cars.=C2=A0 Some come with a=
rms and posts to select lift points, others come with rubber blocks to allo=
w specific points to be used for lifting.
Here's the type of thing I'm looking at:
