Bike lift. Scissor vs parallellogram

[grantmac]

I know there is a lot of info on this and I have asked long before but I bought a parallelogram type lift, copy of the Seally model for €550 last year. Used it once. Now going to a mate for free. Just want it out of the garage and I can’t shift it. It was unstable and I didn’t like the foot pump for the hydraulics.
So I am still looking for one but then maybe an electric scissor type one. I see this comes in at around € 1800 mainly because of the electric pump. Hand pump and it’s around €700. Scissor lifts I think are more stable. Now with my bad back I can’t get my 1300 onto the small wheeled dolly even with the jack up feature so am thinking of getting the scissor lift, pushing it onto the lift mounting it onto the centre stand and then raising it to get at it better.
Any ideas or advice and if anyone has tips for something over here then great.

I would have offered the brand new parallellogram Lift to anyone here for free but it’s a bit difficult to just pop around the corner and pick up

Hi Grantmac,
After a bit of a garage clearout, I decided that my KD Benches hydraulic lift table was simply taking up too much floor-space. It was also quite difficult to single handedly load up K1600/R1200GSA's onto the table lift... so I recently managed to sell the hydraulic table to a nice chap from Wolverhampton who obligingly collected it from my garage.

Subsequently, as a replacement for the hydraulic table lift, and after quite a bit on online research into alternative bike lifts... I finally selected and purchased the Big Blue Eazyrizer lift, designed and manufactured here in the UK...

Big Blue Eazyrizer lift... Verdict... Very happy with my purchase... quickly put to use to carry out an 18k valve service on my K1600GTL.
