I get my mate to pump it up :)

No, there are hydraulics off to the side.
What make are your scissor lifts? Been thinking about a set for a while. We have two posters and four but the scissors seem super easy! Also how low could you get a car on? I'm thinking 911 GT3-RS

Many thanks

They are automotec. I'm quite happy with them. I have the optional extensions with those super low Cars aren't a problem. Scissors are good fo stability too.

My neighbour has one for his 928, he has it in a normal double car house garage. He can move his under the car when he needs it and away when not. Can’t lift it far because of the low roof but still great for servicing and the like.

This one weighs about 600kg and is quite difficult to move, although mine is bolted to the ground.
I went with this over a 2 poster due to the limited ceiling height.

I thought it would be an issue, but a rolling stool makes light work of most things.

Assuming that the sky was the limit, how high can these lift's go? Na max weight capacity? They really look the part.
