Mid Rise Scissor Lifts
Compact and easy to use, mid rise scissor lifts are a smart choice for inspections, detailing, and fast access around the vehicle — especially when full underbody height isn’t needed. If you regularly remove wheels, a 2 post lift or full-rise scissor lift may be a better fit. If you’re tight on space or need a mobile lift you can rely on, a mid rise car lift gives you stable access without the size or install demands of a full lift. Every mid rise scissor lift we stock is chosen becasue it works hard, lasts long, and fits the way real UK garages operate.

What Is a Mid Rise Scissor Lift?
A midrise scissor lift raises the vehicle to around waist height — ideal for wheel, brake, and bodywork jobs. These are surface-mounted lifts with a compact footprint and no posts, making them perfect for garages where floor space or ceiling height is limited.
Despite their smaller profile, mid rise car scissor lifts offer excellent stability and weight capacity, handling everything from small cars to light vans with ease. They’re often mobile too, so you can reposition them or tuck them away when not in use.
When to Choose a Mid Rise Vehicle Lift
Mid rise car lifts are ideal for fast-paced garages where quick access around the vehicle is needed — but full-height or wheel-free lifting isn’t essential. They’re a smart option for:
• Valeting and detailing
• Pre-MOT inspections
• Brake checks and minor suspension work (if the lift allows partial wheel clearance)
• Exhaust inspections and light underbody access
• Mobile or seasonal workshop setups
Because most mid rise scissor lifts support the vehicle by the wheels or chassis pinch points, they’re generally not suitable for tyre fitting or any job that requires full wheel removal — unless paired with additional jacking beams.
If you’re regularly doing wheel-off jobs, tyre changes, or full mechanical repairs, a 2 post lift or 4 post lift will give you the proper access and lifting height.

FAQs About Mid Rise Car Lifts
How high does a mid rise scissor lift go?
Typically around 1 metre (around waist height), depending on the model. It’s enough for wheels, brakes, and detailing — but not full under-vehicle access.
Can I move the lift around the workshop?
Many models are mobile and come with wheels or a trolley. Check the product spec — some are designed to stay in one place.
What vehicles can they handle?
Most mid rise car lifts are suitable for standard vehicles and light commercial vans. Check the lift capacity and platform size for compatibility.
Do I need special power or floor prep?
Most mid rise lifts plug into standard power and can be used on a solid, level concrete floor. Installation is quick and straightforward.
