Choose options
The Lander ProLift S55 is a professional-grade twin-scissor low-profile lift rated to 12,125 lb (5,500 kg) with a 4.3 in (110 mm) drive-on platform height — low enough to accommodate sports cars, modified vehicles, and lowered daily drivers that cannot safely load onto standard ramp-entry lifts. At 78.7 in long × 70.9 in wide × 4.7 in stowed height (200 × 180 × 12 cm), with a maximum lift height of 39.4 in (100 cm), it installs either flush-mount into a pit or surface-mount on the shop floor. Each platform measures 66.9 in × 21.7 in (170 × 55 cm). Dual synchronized hydraulic circuits, mechanical safety locks, velocity fuses, an overload valve, and CE/ISO compliance round out a lift built for professional showrooms, detail shops, alignment bays, and serious home shops where low vehicle clearance is the core challenge. Backed by a 5-year frame and lift structure warranty and a 3-year hydraulics and power unit warranty.

Product Highlights
4.3 in (110 mm) Drive-On Platform Height
The 4.3 in drive-on height is the primary specification that defines the ProLift S55’s application. Standard two-post and four-post lift ramps typically require 8–12 in of ground clearance for safe loading. At 4.3 in, the S55 accommodates vehicles that sit too low to safely drive onto a standard lift ramp — sports cars, track-prepared vehicles, lowered daily drivers, and modified builds where ground clearance is a constant concern. If your vehicle mix includes low-clearance vehicles, a low-profile scissor lift is not an optional upgrade; it is the correct tool for the job.
Twin-Scissor Cross-Linked Mechanism
The twin-scissor design uses two parallel scissor stacks cross-linked to each other, creating a rigid platform structure that resists fore-aft and lateral rocking as the lift rises and at full height. A single-scissor platform of the same width has a single pivot plane and is more susceptible to rocking under asymmetrically loaded vehicles. The cross-linked twin-scissor configuration is the standard construction for professional-grade low-profile lifts at this capacity because stability at full rise — where the scissor geometry is most extended — depends on the rigidity of the base mechanism.
Flush-Mount or Surface-Mount Installation
The S55 supports two installation configurations. Flush-mount installs the lift platforms into a pit excavated in the shop floor, bringing the platform surface level with the surrounding floor when stowed — the preferred configuration for showrooms, detail shops, and high-end home garages where floor aesthetics and trip-hazard elimination matter. Surface-mount installs directly onto the existing concrete floor using the included anchor hardware, eliminating the need for pit excavation — the appropriate choice for shops where floor excavation is not feasible or desired. In surface-mount configuration, the stowed platform height of 4.7 in (12 cm) is the only floor obstacle.
Dual Synchronized Hydraulic Circuits
Each platform has its own hydraulic circuit, and the two circuits are synchronized to equalize lift across both platforms simultaneously. This maintains a level vehicle support surface throughout the lift and descent cycle, preventing the front-to-rear or side-to-side differential that can occur when lift platforms are driven by a single shared circuit under uneven vehicle weight distribution. Synchronized circuits are a requirement for professional-grade scissor lifts used in alignment applications where platform level directly affects measurement accuracy.
Three Independent Safety Systems: Mechanical Locks, Velocity Fuses, Overload Valve
The S55 combines three independent safety mechanisms. Mechanical safety locks engage at set height positions to hold the platforms mechanically, independent of hydraulic pressure. Velocity fuses automatically restrict hydraulic flow if a line ruptures or a cylinder fails during operation, limiting uncontrolled descent. The overload valve prevents the lift from rising if the load exceeds the rated capacity, protecting the hydraulic system and structure from overload conditions. The combination of all three on a single lift is characteristic of CE/ISO-certified professional equipment.
CE/ISO Compliance
The ProLift S55 is CE and ISO compliant, meaning it has been independently evaluated against European (CE) and international (ISO) safety and performance standards for automotive lifting equipment. CE/ISO compliance is not a self-certification — it requires independent assessment against defined safety criteria including structural integrity, safety system performance, and electrical safety. For professional shops and commercial installations, CE/ISO compliance is often a minimum requirement for liability, insurance, and workplace safety purposes.
Service-Friendly Design: Accessible Grease Points, Replaceable Pads, Modular Power Pack
The S55 is designed for serviceability over its working life. All scissor arm pivot points have accessible grease fittings for routine lubrication without disassembly. The non-slip rubber platform pads are replaceable when worn, extending the service life of the platform surface without replacing the full platform. The power pack uses quick-disconnect hydraulic fittings, allowing the power unit to be removed and replaced as a module without draining the entire hydraulic system — reducing downtime during power unit service or replacement.
5-Year Frame Warranty / 3-Year Hydraulics & Power Unit Warranty
The ProLift S55 is backed by a 5-year frame and lift structure warranty and a 3-year hydraulics and power unit warranty, subject to proper professional installation and adherence to the recommended maintenance schedule.

Ideal For
- Sports car owners, modified vehicle builders, and lowered daily driver operators whose vehicles cannot safely load onto standard ramp-entry lifts
- Professional showrooms and high-end detail shops where a flush-mount installation keeps the floor clean and level when the lift is not in use
- Alignment shops and professional service bays where synchronized platform level is required for accurate four-wheel alignment measurement
- Shops and home garages where ceiling height rules out a two-post or four-post lift — the 39.4 in maximum lift height requires significantly less ceiling clearance than column lifts
- Commercial installations where CE/ISO compliance is a minimum requirement for insurance, liability, or workplace safety purposes
Maintenance Schedule
- Daily: Inspect hydraulic lines and cylinder seals for leaks. Wipe platforms of fluid spills, oil, and debris — contamination on rubber pads reduces grip and is a vehicle stability hazard. Check that mechanical locks engage fully at each height position.
- Weekly: Torque anchor bolts at all installation anchor points. Clean debris and fluid accumulation from scissor arm channels and pivot areas. Lubricate all accessible grease points on scissor arm pivots per the manufacturer’s lubrication schedule.
- Annually: Replace hydraulic oil and hydraulic filter per the manufacturer’s specification. Replace rubber platform pads if worn or compression-set. Perform a full safety inspection: mechanical lock engagement at all positions, velocity fuse function, overload valve calibration, and structural inspection of scissor arm welds and pivot pins.
Important Information
- Maximum lift height is 39.4 in (100 cm): The ProLift S55 raises vehicles to a maximum working height of approximately 39.4 in — suitable for tire, brake, exhaust, and underbody work from a standing or crouching position, but lower than the full stand-up working height of a two-post or four-post column lift. If full stand-up under-vehicle access is required, a column lift is the correct product. If low-clearance vehicle loading or ceiling height constraints are the priority, the S55 is the right tool.
- Flush-mount requires pit excavation: Flush-mount installation requires excavating a pit in the shop floor to the depth specified in the manufacturer’s installation manual. This is a concrete cutting and excavation project that must be planned and executed before lift delivery. If pit excavation is not feasible, surface-mount is the correct installation option.
- Professional installation required: The S55 must be installed by a qualified lift installer regardless of whether flush-mount or surface-mount is chosen. Correct platform leveling, anchor hardware installation (surface-mount) or pit preparation (flush-mount), hydraulic circuit bleeding, and safety system commissioning are all required for safe operation.
- Floor requirements: Surface-mount installation requires a reinforced concrete floor of sufficient thickness and compressive strength for the anchor hardware under rated load. Flush-mount requires the pit walls and base to be correctly constructed. Consult the manufacturer’s installation manual and your installer before ordering.
- Vehicle wheelbase compatibility: Verify that your vehicle’s wheelbase fits within the platform length of 66.9 in (170 cm) per platform, and that the track width fits within the 70.9 in (180 cm) overall lift width, before ordering. Low-clearance vehicles with very wide tracks should be verified against the platform width.
- Shipping: This lift ships via freight in multiple packages due to its size and weight. Delivery is to a curbside or accessible ground-level location. Coordinate with your installer for receipt, staging, and installation — particularly important for flush-mount installations where the pit must be ready before delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need a low-profile scissor lift instead of a standard two-post or four-post lift?
Standard two-post and four-post lift ramps typically require 8–12 in of ground clearance for safe vehicle loading. If your vehicle sits lower than that — sports cars, lowered daily drivers, track cars, and modified builds commonly do — it will scrape or bottom out on the ramp before reaching the platform. At 4.3 in drive-on height, the S55 accommodates vehicles that simply cannot safely use standard lifts. It is the correct tool for low-clearance vehicles, not an alternative to a column lift for everything else.
What is the difference between flush-mount and surface-mount?
Flush-mount installs the lift platforms into an excavated pit so the platform surface sits level with the surrounding floor when stowed — no platform above the floor, no trip hazard, clean shop aesthetic. Surface-mount bolts the lift directly onto the existing concrete floor — no pit required, but the stowed platforms sit 4.7 in above the floor. Flush-mount is preferred for showrooms and high-end home garages; surface-mount is the practical choice where floor excavation is not feasible.
How high does this lift actually raise the vehicle?
The maximum lift height is 39.4 in (100 cm) above the platform surface. This provides comfortable working access for tire, brake, exhaust, and underbody tasks from a standing or crouching position. It is lower than the full stand-up working height of a two-post or four-post column lift (typically 60–75 in). If full stand-up access under the vehicle is a requirement, a column lift is the right product. The S55 is optimized for low-clearance vehicle compatibility and compact ceiling requirements, not maximum working height.
What does CE/ISO compliance mean for a car lift?
CE and ISO compliance means the lift has been independently evaluated against European (CE) and international (ISO) safety and performance standards for automotive lifting equipment. This is not a self-declaration — it requires assessment against defined criteria including structural integrity, safety system performance, and electrical safety. For commercial installations, CE/ISO compliance is often a minimum requirement for workplace safety regulations, insurance, and liability purposes.
Why does this lift have three safety systems?
Mechanical locks, velocity fuses, and the overload valve each address a different failure mode. Mechanical locks hold the platform if hydraulic pressure bleeds down while a vehicle is raised. Velocity fuses limit descent rate if a hydraulic line ruptures during operation. The overload valve prevents the lift from rising beyond rated capacity, protecting the structure and hydraulic system. No single system covers all three failure modes — professional-grade CE/ISO-certified lifts use all three in combination.
Will my sports car or lowered vehicle fit on this lift?
The 4.3 in (110 mm) drive-on height accommodates most sports cars and lowered vehicles. Verify your vehicle’s lowest point (front air dam, splitter, side skirts) against the 4.3 in approach height, and check that your vehicle’s wheelbase fits within the 66.9 in (170 cm) platform length. Vehicles with active air suspension should be loaded at the ride height they will be serviced at, not lowered to minimum ride height during loading.
Does this lift require a 220V circuit?
The product listing does not specify the power requirement. Contact us before ordering to confirm the electrical supply requirement for the ProLift S55 power unit and ensure your shop or garage has the correct circuit available at the installation location.
What are the warranty terms?
