As I am getting older and my knees are bad my boss wants me to see if there are anybody out there with any kind of hydrolic or airbag lift that they use in a downdraft booth to get the cars higher off the ground so I,m not abusing my knees as much.I,m tired of jacking them up and using jackstands, if I,m gonna do all that on my knees its easy tojust paint the car.Dont know if they need to be up to any safety code.
i’ve seen them before, one of those smaller portable scissor lifts. i’m still just using a jack and big blocks of wood
something like http://www.thegaragedealer.com/Bendpak-MD-6XP-6000-Lb-Capacity-Mid-Rise-Frame-Lift-Portable.html?feed=Froogle
or
http://www.toolsource.com/k900p-portable-vehicle-lift-6000-capacity-p-110729.html?sourceid=googlepsthere are a lot of places that have midrise lifts set up in the booth. regardless of what you put in, you still need to get down to set the lifting arms up correctly on the car
In the late 80’s I was lucky enough to get a new Devilbiss downdraft, and the owner of the shop was nice enough to include this..

It was easy and worked great.
I use my midrise in my booth at home on certain jobs.
