You don't need a full sheet just pieces 6 "- 8 " wide is sufficient x about 40 " long .
the specs say 44 inch of lift, what are they like to work under?
and how are they for moving around for set up / storage?

Lot of info here:

AtlasŪ TD6MR 6,000 Lbs. Capacity Portable 110 Volt Scissor Lift | GSES

The lift is moved by using the hydraulic unit. Requires some strength, but doable.



Original setup is easy, no setup required later. The unit is rock solid and in my opinion safer than a 2 post lift.

I use boards like the ones in this picture to make sure clearance is not an issue:
