Home car lift?

[IanM]

.
Has anyone here ever bought a car lift like this one for their home garage? Flush with the floor when not in use. What is this type called? Scissor lift? Non-portable. Are there any manufacturers in the UK that makes such lifts? I'd be grateful if you can let me know. Many thanks.

It is a scissor type lift, probably better described as a lift table.

I’ve never seen a car sized one with a square top except in the amazing US garage. Using a normal scissor lift and fitting a flat top would give the table top style, while removing the top would give access to the middle of a car.

I have the automotive scissor lift ( with 2 platforms) and they sit flush with the floor

Before buying it I looked for a lift table like the one in the 12 gauge garage you pictured and though I could find them on eBay they were never as heavy duty as the one Jack Olsen used.

The one I’ve got is great.

I have one of these

Not mounted flush, but I have the optional ramps at either side so easy to park on when not using

Mid rise suits me due to my building height

I too have a mid-rise Automotech, set above ground. Jonny, ClassicRetrofit, had the full height version, set into the garage base of his previous home.

Excellent. Thanks everyone.

Made in USA. But unfortunately that particular model is 3-phase 460v...
