[Shop-talk] Scissor Lift

[Benjamin Zwissler]

Hello,

I'm considering a mid- or low-rise scissor lift to make access to
interiors, brakes and suspension easier.  I find I avoid interior and dash
work because its so low to the ground I struggle to get and stay that low
for any length of time.  I already have a two-post lift so access to the
underside isn't an issue, but access to the interior is difficult with the
arms and post in the way of the door opening.

My concern is whether the popular brands will fit under Triumphs and
similar cars.  Does anyone have any experience with these on our cars?
Specifically I'm concerned about the narrower width of our cars and that we
can't lift on "pinch" welds like most modern cars.  Some come with arms and
posts to select lift points, others come with rubber blocks to allow
specific points to be used for lifting.

Here's the type of thing I'm looking at:
