I will NEVER again have to lay on the concrete floors to do any type of work. Almost as good as winning the LOTTO.
Pictures please !!!!! I am in the market for one as well in my garage.
I am looking at this Atlas.

This type of lift is pretty common in the automotive repair industry, primarily for tire shops. Their strong suit is the ability to get a vehicle up in the air quickly. Weak points are lack of access to the center of the vehicle in comparison to a typical twin post hoist. I've done installs in my buddy's tire shop and they're pretty simple. You'll need to drill four holes in the floor with lag screws and inserts, then run some hydraulic hose or pipe to a 110 volt pump. As usual, both USA-made brands or cheaper Taiwan stuff are available, so take your choice. Having a local dealer available is always a good thing.

Re: Scissor Lift for garage
I bought the TD6MR Mid-Rise lift. It lifts the vehicle up to 54" high, not just 26". Very easy to put together. All you have to do is put the dolly part together with a few bolts, put a plug on the end of the power cord, put the cable on, and hook up one hydraulic hose, and you are done. It is NOT mounted to the floor in any way. VERY easy to set up. Only takes about 20 minutes or so.

Awesome and thanks for the info. I am definitely going to check into this. I don't need a huge lift. I just need it for working on wheels and tires, undercarriage detailing, and polishing.

Re: Scissor Lift for garage
A friend of mine has one of these he is selling:
Ben Pearson BP6000MR Mid Rise Lift
I want to buy it, but can't justify the expense at the moment. It is a great little lift though.
But I would check the Ben Pearson's out too, as it has served him well the minimal amount he has used it.
