Bend Pak low rise

[Accent Tint]

Hello all I am new here. I have a professional window tinting shop that does paint protection clear bras on the front ends of cars. I have no need to get under a car for oil changes or such. Just need the car elevated 2-3' to sit on my creeper seat to roll around and install the film on bumpers,headlights, splitters and spoilers and such. I was looking at the Bend Pak low rise lift. I only need to use it maybe once or twice a week as I'm getting too old to lay on the floor for hours applying the film. Am I looking in the right direction for a low rise lift?? Thank you all in advance and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

With a low rise lift you'll still have to get down on you knees to place pucks so the lift engages to car in the correct places.
I assume you don't need to take the wheels off, so I'd look for a ramp system you can drive onto or maybe a 4-post lift (although that seems like overkill).

This might be a good option:

Much of the time you might not even lift up the back end, but rather just drive up the ramp so the front end is up (like the white van midway down the page).

If you're looking at the Bendpak P-6, note the lift pads are, as I recall, only 57 inches long. If that spans the fore-aft distance between the vehicle's jackpoints, you're good. Or, if the car can sit on the chassis pinch welds, that's ok. But, cars needing more than 57" and with plastic belly pans are a problem. My 997 Porsche is an example.

A scissor lift sounds like a more practical lift for your needs.

Type BendPak in the search. There are a few group buys ... this is the best and where I got my MD-6XP

The Kwik-lift may be the best solution for you. It's portable; it can be taken down and stored when not in use, and doesn't require any electrical power to operate. One person can handle all of the pieces alone although it would be best to have a helper; IIRC some of the pieces can weigh close to 100 lbs. Furniture dollies would be a big help.

Sounds like you need a 4 post drive on... Much quicker and you can use it for every vehicle, vs. some here and there.
