[Shop-talk] Scissor Lift

[Paul Parkanzky]

Have you considered a four post lift? I have both a 2 and a 4 post lift and
they compliment each other very well. The two post allows you to do
wheels-off work but when you don't need that the four post is WAY
faster/easier to put a car on with no concern for lifting points and stuff
and is much more convenient for oil changes and things like that. You'd
have full access to the sides of the vehicle at any height you'd like with
a four post lift. As a bonus you can store a car on it when you're not
using it for something else.
