Professional Car Scissor Lifts
A Scissor Lift Built for the Workshop Floor
Let's be honest: in a busy shop, floor space is money. A car scissor lift is the best way to reclaim your bay without dealing with bulky columns of a 2 post lift. Because there's no upright steel in your way, you get 360-degree access to the wheels and sills. Whether you're slamming through tyre changes or doing fiddly brake work, a scissor lift just makes the job easier on your back and faster for the customer.
Gear that works as hard as you do
We've been in the garage equipment game for 50 years, so we know you need a car scissor lift that just works, no fuss, no downtime.
- Short Platform Lifts: These are the workhorses fr tyre bays and fast-fit centres. they've got a small footprint but plenty of grunt for quick turnarounds.
- Full Height Alignment platforms: If you're serious about steering geometry, you need a level surface you can trust. Some of our Scissor lifts come with slip plates and recesses already dialed in, so you can get precision reading everytime.
- Flush-Fit or Surface Mount: If you want a dead-flat floor, we can sink these into the concrete. If not, bolt them straight down. We've got options for both, depending on how your shop is laid out.
Scissor Lifts with Solid Engineering
There's a lot of kit out there that looks the part but falls under pressure. We only stock scissor lifts we'd be happy to stand under ourselves, from our own SUPALIFT range to Ravaglioli. Every lift is CE-compliant, backed by great aftersales support, and built to handle everything from a city car to a loaded van without breaking a sweat.
Most scissor lifts have a relatively compact footprint, typically around 600mm x 2400mm when lowered, making them a practical choice for tighter bays. Unlike a 2-post lift, there are no columns flanking the vehicle, so the surrounding working area stays clear.
A 2-post lift offers the best all-round underside access and suits high-volume servicing bays. A 4-post is better for storage and drive-on work. A scissor lift sits between the two, it's space-efficient, clean to work around, and well-suited to workshops where bay width is limited or a flush floor finish is preferred. In-ground models in particular give a very professional, uncluttered look to the workshop.
One of the key advantages of a scissor lift is its low height requirement. Because there are no overhead components, even workshops with a ceiling height of around 2.8–3m can often accommodate one. Always verify the maximum rise of the specific model against your internal height, but for workshops that can't fit a 2-post, a scissor lift is often the answer.
Yes! Many scissor lifts are designed to work alongside wheel alignment systems. Certain models feature built-in turntables and slip plates that allow the wheels to move freely during the alignment process. If wheel alignment is part of your workshop offer, it's worth specifying a lift that's alignment-ready from the outset.
Supalign offers a wide range of laser alignment machines, computerised wheel aligners and commercial wheel alignment machines.
We also provide a range of tyre machines, wheel balancers, ADAS kits, vehicle lifts, accessories and service support across the UK.
