Scissor lifts
Any one used/seen these?
linky could you get a
RWD gearbox out of say an MX5 using one or would the cross members get in the way?
Cheers
Mark

That first lift would be OK if you like working on your knees! We have a scissor lift at work that lifts a car up to 2 metres with no cross member
that is fine for most jobs. If you have enough hieght then you can't beat a 2 poster

PPC did a buyers guid on these sort of things, and with this type the biggest problem seemed to be the hand winder to raise it, takes forever, and is
bloody hard work. Never tried one myself so can't comment from experience. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Its meant for servicing brakes and dropping out oils, no good for taking big bits out 
For that you need a four poster or two poster with arms that come in from the side, which if I had the space would purchase.
Like SUPERB BRAND NEW RAMP 2 POST LIFT ELECTRO-HYDRAULIC | eBay
But at that price its going to be a bit wobbly and weak, all you need to do is not lift to full height.

Thanks Chaps - I think I'll have a closer look at the proper 2 poster then
