New concrete floor to be cast. 2 post hoist or scissor lift?

[jamieandthemagic]

Cut a long story short, I will be getting a new garage floor cast, as mine slopes 8 degrees. So I would be able to cast holes for the flush fitment of a dual scissor lift, or cast the fixing rods for a 2 post hoist.

The garage is just about a car long and 2.5 cars wide.
Needs single phase connection

Both I see have pros and cons.

Scissor lift
Out of the way when not in use
Can open car doors easily when elevated
Less choice
Not sure if they have same safety elements and partial lift ability

2 post hoist
Always in the way
More choice
Adjustable for car types

Opinions and feedback welcome

This gives you a rough idea of the space and layout.......

About 500mm each end on the junior, about 300mm each end on the 75.

The opening for the garage doors is to be made as one large one, and loose the up n over doors.

Plenty of height.

What make? Can they go higher , ie stand under and drop a gearbox/ prop shaft

I wouldn't even get a 7 series in the garage.

I'm anal, so would Hoover out the shallow pit.
