Description
The lift consists of two interconnected platforms, each featuring a double-scissor mechanism powered by hydraulic cylinders. The platforms offer wide, stable support for a variety of passenger vehicles. When raised, the scissor structure elevates the car, providing adequate working height for tasks such as tire changes, brake servicing, oil changes, and chassis inspection. When lowered, its low-profile design allows for easy drive-over and minimal floor space occupation. The unit is typically powered by a separate hydraulic power pack.
