Do think this company is real? https://porail.myshopify.com/products/t ... issor-lift
Seems quite a discount to other lifts and the price of this lift on other sites.

Re: Scissors lift real?
A great price, but...
3" is quite high off the floor, but they all are if they are to be strong, or rather rigid enough.
However, 26" rise is not much!
You won't get a 911 engine out from the car at that height without taking some of the induction parts off and having height for some kind of low slung trolley to rest the engine on.
Design will use lot less steel, shorter lift cylinder etc hence the manufacturing cost will be less, and selling price low accordingly.

.
Almost certainly a scam in my opinion - Tuxedo (the manufacturer based in the US) state on their website:
"Tuxedo Distributors LLC does not sell products directly to consumers.
Numerous fraudulent websites have emerged claiming to sell our products.
Before making any unverified purchases, please contact us first at info@tuxedodistributors.com to verify the legitimacy of the seller.
Exercise caution when encountering deals that seem too good to be true, as they may be scams.
Protect your financial and personal information by confirming the authenticity of the seller through official channels."

Email bounced so I guess that confirms it
