What Auto Mid-Rise Scissor Lifts Do Best

For home garages and small repair shops, a full-size 2-post or 4-post lift is not always practical. Limited ceiling height, floor space, and installation requirements can make a portable mid-rise lift a better fit.

TMG Industrial offers two different options for different applications: the TMG-ALS61 6,000 lb Mid-Rise Portable Automotive Scissor Lift for cars, SUVs, and compatible light-duty trucks, and the TMG-1000PML 1,000 lb Portable Motorcycle/ATV Scissor Lift for motorcycles, ATVs, and powersports equipment.

Automotive Work in Low-Ceiling Garages

The TMG-ALS61 is designed for automotive maintenance where full lifting height is not required. With a 6,000 lb capacity and maximum lifting height of 48 inches, it raises vehicles high enough for common service tasks while maintaining a lower overall vehicle height than a full-rise lift.

Its open-center, frame-contact design provides access for:

• Brake and wheel service
• Suspension work
• Tire rotations
• Fluid changes
• Exhaust and undercarriage inspections

Adjustable lifting arms and frame adapters allow the lift to accommodate different compatible vehicles when positioned at manufacturer-approved lifting points.

The ALS61 uses dual hydraulic cylinders powered by a portable 120 V, 60 Hz, 3 HP hydraulic power unit, with a maximum working pressure of 2650 PSI.

A Dedicated Lift for Motorcycles and ATVs

The TMG-1000PML serves a completely different purpose.

Designed for motorcycles, ATVs, and compatible powersports equipment weighing up to 1,000 lb, it uses a drive-on platform instead of automotive lifting arms.

The platform reaches a maximum height of 32-1/2 inches and includes:

• 44-inch total platform width with extensions
• Front-wheel vise
• Removable drive-on ramp
• Rear wheel deck cutout
• Multi-position safety locking system

Its pneumatic lifting system requires an external air compressor capable of supplying 115 PSI.

By raising the entire machine to a more comfortable working height, the 1000PML is well suited for maintenance, inspection, detailing, tire work, and general powersports servicing.

Designed for Smaller Workspaces

Both lifts are built with space efficiency in mind.

The TMG-ALS61 has a low-profile design and caster wheels that make repositioning and storage easier when not in use. The TMG-1000PML provides a compact, dedicated workstation without requiring a permanent vehicle lift installation.

Which Lift Is Right for You?

Choose the TMG-ALS61 if you primarily work on passenger cars, SUVs, or compatible light-duty trucks and need access to wheels, suspension, and undercarriage components.

Choose the TMG-1000PML if you work mainly on motorcycles, ATVs, or other compatible powersports equipment and want a stable drive-on platform at a more convenient working height.

Both offer a practical way to bring professional-style lifting capability into home garages and smaller workshops without committing to a full-height permanent lift.

Always confirm equipment capacity, vehicle dimensions, lifting points, available overhead clearance, and operating requirements before use.
