Re: mid rise scissor lift - squarebody

if the weight of the vehicle can not be somewhat centered over the ramps / hydraulic scissors ,what will happen is as you raise the vehicle the 2 hydraulic scissors and ramps will start leaning towards each other and as you rise higher the lean angle will progress making it very unstable . this is the inherited design of a scissor lift, most if not all the weight must be under the scissor , even if you were to build a cross section between the 2 ramps the leaning would still occur ,but you might get 6-8 inches of lift before the leaning will start to occur .
