Mid-Rise Scissor Lifts

Mid-rise scissor lifts are perfect for home garages with low ceilings and popular in service bays and detail shops nationwide. They deliver roughly 45-48 inches of rise - substantially more working height than low-rise models - while avoiding the overhead requirements of full-size lifts. Open-center designs preserve access to the vehicle centerline for exhaust, driveline and fluid service.

Mid-Rise Scissor Lifts: Frequently Asked Questions

How high does a mid-rise scissor lift go?

BendPak mid-rise lifts typically rise 45-48 inches - enough for comfortable wheel, brake, suspension and underbody service from a rolling stool or creeper.

Should I buy a mid-rise or a two-post lift?

If you have limited ceiling height or can't dedicate permanent floor space, a mid-rise lift is the better fit. Portable models like the MD-6XP can be moved around the shop and stored when not in use.

What is a flush-mount mid-rise lift?

Flush-mount models like the MDS-6LPF install in a shallow concrete recess so the platform sits level with the floor when lowered - a zero-footprint solution for quick-lube pits and clean shop floors.
