In a bustling, car-heavy city like Orlando, auto shops need equipment that balances performance, safety, and space efficiency. Whether you run a general repair shop in Downtown Orlando, a dealership in Winter Park, or a tire center near Lake Buena Vista, the right lift can streamline your workflow and boost profitability. More and more shop owners are turning to one solution: scissor lifts.

At PHS Lifts, we specialize in delivering industry-leading scissor lift systems designed to meet the specific needs of Central Florida’s automotive businesses. Here’s why Orlando’s auto service professionals are upgrading to scissor lifts—and why now is the perfect time for your shop to make the switch

1. Space-Saving Design for Busy Shops

Orlando is growing fast, and commercial space is at a premium. Many auto shops work out of smaller or repurposed buildings, where every square foot counts. Scissor lifts offer a compact footprint, taking up less floor space than traditional two-post or four-post lifts. That’s especially valuable in neighborhoods like Colonialtown or Milk District, where tighter shop layouts are the norm.

PHS scissor lifts can be surface-mounted or installed in-ground, allowing you to choose the setup that best fits your shop’s layout. Flush-mount options even allow for seamless floor space when the lift is not in use—ideal for multipurpose garages or detailing centers.

2. Versatile Applications Across Vehicle Types

From daily drivers and luxury sedans to light-duty trucks and SUVs, PHS scissor lifts are designed to handle a wide range of vehicles. This versatility makes them ideal for shops in tourist-heavy areas like International Drive, where vehicle types vary from compact rentals to family-sized SUVs.

Our lifts come in various configurations and weight capacities, making them suitable for:

  • Brake work

  • Tire rotations

  • Oil changes

  • Undercarriage inspections

  • Detailing services

Whether you’re a small independent shop or a dealership service center, we have a lift to match your workload.

3. Speed and Efficiency That Keeps You Competitive

Orlando’s auto service industry is competitive. Shops that deliver faster service times gain an edge—especially when catering to visitors or busy commuters in areas like Lake Nona or Altamonte Springs.

Scissor lifts allow for quick vehicle access and streamlined service, thanks to:

  • Rapid lift/lower speeds

  • Easy underbody access

  • Minimal setup time

This increased efficiency leads to higher daily service volume and better customer satisfaction.

4. Enhanced Safety Features

Scissor lifts from PHS include advanced safety systems that comply with OSHA and ALI standards, ensuring peace of mind for both technicians and shop owners.

Key safety features include:

  • Automatic safety locks

  • Slip-resistant platforms

  • Hydraulic flow restrictors

  • Emergency stop controls

With these features, your shop in East Orlando or Winter Garden can reduce accidents, minimize liability, and stay compliant with Florida’s safety regulations.
