Mid-rise scissor
Mid rise scissor lifts
Mid-rise is the wheel-work height: enough lift to sit at a wheel, brake or sill job in comfort, on a platform that stores flat and cycles fast. Work from the XP-8228's table first; for the XP-8630, ask for its figures in writing.

Why mid height is a product category
Most wheel-end work happens between the ground and a metre: tyres, brakes, suspension checks, sill and body inspection. A mid-rise scissor puts that work at seated or crouched height instead of on a creeper, and its platform — 1,685 mm long, 1,040 mm wide on the XP-8228 — carries the car at its sills while the wheels stay free at the platform's ends. The 50-second cycle and the 110 mm minimum height are the fast-bay figures: low cars drive on, the platform cycles without ceremony, and the bay turns over.
The XP-8228 and its XP-8228E variant are published with identical figures — 2,700 kg, 1,250 mm lift, 3.0 kW motor, 450 kg machine weight — and ask for the variant distinction to be confirmed in writing at quote stage. Both run the family standards: 0.6–0.8 Mpa air for the locks, 24 Mpa rated oil pressure, 380V or 220V supply.
Where low-rise ends and mid-rise begins
Below this class sits the low-rise class, and the boundary matters because the two classes answer different work. A low rise lift raises the car just far enough for wheels-off work at ground level — tyres, brakes and hub work done seated beside the car — and stops there: the car stays at wheel height, and underbody work at any useful height is outside the class. A low rise car lift is a quick-cycle wheel-service tool, bought for bay turnover at wheel height. Mid-rise begins where that work is outgrown: the platform rises past wheel height to a working height at the sill, and the job list widens from wheels to brakes, suspension, sills and underbody inspection.
This catalogue's scissor range starts at mid-rise — there is no low-rise model in it — and its lowest work is covered from the mid-rise side. The XP-8228's platform starts at 110 mm, low enough for low cars to drive onto, and rises to 1,250 mm, which carries wheel-end work past the low-rise ceiling and into the sill and inspection work the low-rise class cannot reach. A buyer whose work is purely wheels-off at ground level should weigh cycle time and platform facts honestly against that starting point; a buyer whose list already includes sills or underbody inspection is past the boundary, and the table below is where their comparison belongs.
The XP-8630, sold on configuration
The XP-8630 is a portable mid-rise scissor lift: ask for its figures in writing, and do not estimate its capacity from its name, and do not borrow the XP-8228's figures for it: buy it on the confirmations in the checklist below — capacity, lift height and weight, in writing, for this exact model.
Start with what kind of machine it is — a portable mid-rise unit in the same working class as the XP-8228 — and what to do if it interests you: request its confirmed specification in writing through the inquiry, for the exact unit that would be supplied, before comparing it against the XP-8228's own table. Buy on confirmed figures for the exact model.

Questions buyers ask about mid rise scissor lift
Mid-rise or full-rise scissor?
Mid-rise for wheel-end volume; full-rise when underbody work at standing height is weekly. The price and floor commitment step up with the height, so buy the height your job mix uses.
Can a mid-rise do alignment checks?
It lifts at the sills with wheels free, which suits inspection, but alignment measurement belongs on the level platforms in the alignment pairing — see the in-ground page and the alignment guide.
What should I ask for before ordering the XP-8630?
Ask for its capacity, lift height and machine weight in writing, for the exact unit, before ordering — and hold the order until those figures are in writing in front of you.
