Inexpensive Scissors Lift?
Hey, what is the least expensive but still safe and decent quality scissors lift? I would need it to lift not just the 911, but also the Westy vanagon (appx 5,300 lbs). Not both at the same time.

My Bendpak mid-rise scissors is rated for vehicles up to 6000 lbs. Don't know what they sell for now, but the "best deal" on them on-line I found several years ago was from a place called GES I think (garage equipment supply???)

I have been doing a bit of research on these the last little while.
The Bendpak mid rise is made off shore but to their specs. I was looking at an ADG Forward lifts that are made off shore to one of the elevator manufacturers specs. Both were in a couple of hundred dollars of each other price wise and will lift 6000 lbs.
