Besides that, large scissor lifts with more than a ton capacity are available. Just find a home scissor lift seller from the list of global suppliers and buy one.

Types of home scissor lifts

Scissor lifts for home garages include hydraulic, foot, electric, and hand. A hydraulic home scissor lift uses pressurized fluid stored inside a reservoir and pipes to lift or lower a load. The lift has a small pedal that pushes the fluid through pipes to the piston when pressure is applied. The piston is attached to an extension rod, and as it moves, it forces the rod to push the horizontal frame apart to lower the load. When lifting up loads, the rod reduces the distance between the frames.

A foot and hand scissor lift for inside house functions almost similarly, with the main difference being in a foot’s lift, the lever is operated by the foot, whereas the lever of a hand lift is a few feet from the ground where it can be easily reached and operated by the hand. Lastly, an electric scissor lift has motors and pumps to push hydraulic fluid through the pipes. With a press of a button, it is the simplest to operate. Unfortunately, it is the most expensive.
