Wanted: opinions on low-rise lifts

[brp987]

I have a bendpak scissor lift which I'm happy with, although I needed to construct 4" ramps so my lowered box could clear it. Actually, my stock height 911 won't clear it.

Re: the post style, I don't know the size/layout of your garage, but you will quickly tire of moving and bolting it down if thats what you need to do. If you need access to the interior you may not be able to open the doors much with it lifted. For box/911 you only need access to the front or rear so post style access to the middle doesn't help and only hinders as you walk around it to fetch tools and etc. Maybe you have a huge garage or other cars where you need to work in the middle - I don't know. If space is a constraint then I think the scissor style is better. For safety's sake it looks like those post style really need a professional installation. The scissor was delivered ready to go except add fluid and attach a hydraulic line.
