Space is at a premium in most UK workshops. Whether you’re servicing tyres, brakes or carrying out quick inspections, a mid rise scissor lift delivers the perfect balance of access, stability and speed without the footprint of a full two-post lift.
Why choose a mid rise scissor lift?
Mid rise lifts are designed for versatility. They raise vehicles high enough for underbody access and wheel work, yet remain portable and quick to set up. They’re a popular choice for tyre bays, body shops and mobile technicians who value floor space and flexibility.
- Space efficient: Low-profile design means no permanent installation or columns.
- Fast lifting speed: Ideal for wheel, brake and suspension work.
- Portable options: Some mid rise scissor lifts can be moved between bays or stored flat when not in use.
- Safe operation: Mechanical locks and anti-surge valves ensure stable lifting at any height.
Typical applications
A midrise scissor lift is perfect for:
- Tyre fitting and wheel alignment preparation
