Daytona LHS7 6,600 lb High Rise Scissor Lift
Full Height, No Posts, No Overhead: the Daytona LHS7 6,600 lb High Rise Scissor Lift
A two post lift gives you full working height but puts four column feet in the middle of your bay and a crossbar over the roof. A mid rise scissor keeps the floor clear but never gets the car high enough to stand under. The high rise scissor is the answer to wanting both.
The Daytona LHS7 lifts 6,600 lbs to a 74.5" maximum height, with the top mechanical lock at 71.0". That is genuine standing room for most technicians. When it comes down it collapses to a 4.5" profile, so the bay reverts to open floor and low cars still drive over it.
It runs a double hydraulic equalizing system so both platforms rise together, held by pneumatic safety locks that engage at multiple working heights. Full travel takes about one minute on 240V single phase at 3 HP. The platforms are width adjustable from 29.5" to 31.5" between them, and the approach ramps double as platform extensions, taking each runway from 59" to 83" long.
This one is anchored, unlike the mid rise. It needs a 6" slab and a level floor, and the platforms bolt down. Call a Pitstop Pro lift specialist before you order so the slab and the power drop get sorted first. Compare every scissor lift, see all car lifts, or view the full Daytona lineup.
Benefits of the Daytona LHS7
Key Features of the Daytona LHS7
• 6,600 lb capacity to 74.5": Maximum lifting height 74.5", with the top mechanical locking position at 71.0". Full travel takes about one minute.
• Low 4.5" collapsed profile: Lowered height is 4.5" to 5.0", which keeps the lift out of the way and lets low clearance vehicles drive over it.
• Double hydraulic equalizing system: Both platforms rise together under matched pressure rather than one chasing the other.
• Pneumatic safety locks: Air released locks engage at multiple heights through the travel, so the load rests on steel at working height.
• Platforms: 59" x 25" each, extending to 83" x 25" with the approach ramps fitted as extensions. Spacing adjusts from 29.5" to 31.5" between them, giving 79.1" to 81.0" across the outside.
• Integrated control station: Power unit and controls in one cabinet, connected by a 9 foot hydraulic hose so you can place it where it suits the bay.
• Included: Four rubber lift blocks measuring 2.5" x 5" x 6.5" and the 9 foot hose. Solid steel construction in a powder coated finish.
Minimum Garage Requirements
✔ Floor Space: Allow an 8'-3" x 8'-3" prepared area (2,500 x 2,500 mm) per the Daytona manual ✔ Ceiling Height: Determined by your tallest vehicle plus 74.5" of lift, not by the lift itself ✔ Concrete Requirements: Minimum of 6"-3000psi
✔ Floor Level: Within 5 mm across the full length of the lift, which is tighter than a post lift ✔ Electrical: 240V single phase, 3 HP, 12A, 60Hz dedicated circuit ✔ Compressed Air: Required for the pneumatic safety locks ✔ Access: Forklift for a 1,700 lb lift crate and a 200 lb pump crate
✔ Floor Space: 8'-3" x 8'-3" prepared area per the manual
✔ Ceiling Height: Tallest vehicle plus 74.5" of lift
✔ Concrete Requirements: Minimum of 6"-3000psi
✔ Floor Level: Within 5 mm across the full length
✔ Electrical: 240V single phase, 3 HP, 12A, 60Hz dedicated circuit
✔ Compressed Air: Required for the pneumatic safety locks
✔ Access: Forklift for a 1,700 lb lift crate and a 200 lb pump crate
*The Daytona manual specifies a minimum concrete thickness of 150 mm, which is 5.9", so plan on a 6" slab. It also requires the floor to be level within 5 mm across the length of the lift and calls for a fully cured slab before anchors are set. Where the floor is thinner than 150 mm, the manual requires footings to be poured at the platform ends. Installing on inadequate concrete may result in serious injury or death. It is the customer's responsibility to verify concrete thickness and strength prior to purchase and installation.

Daytona LHS7 Frequently Asked Questions
Can I stand under it?
Yes, for most people. Maximum height is 74.5" with the top lock at 71.0", which is standing room for a technician under six feet and close to it for anyone taller. That is the difference between this and the LMS6 mid rise, which tops out around 54" and is a seated or bent over working height.
How does this compare to a two post lift?
You get similar working height with nothing overhead and nothing standing beside the doors, and the bay reverts to clear floor when the lift is down. What you give up is access to the center underside, because the platforms sit under the wheels rather than the frame, and wheels-free work is not possible without additional equipment. For tires, brakes, exhaust, and general service it is excellent. For transmission and driveline work a two post is still the right tool.
Does it have to be bolted down?
Yes. Unlike the portable LMS6 mid rise, the LHS7 is anchored. The manual calls for a minimum 150 mm slab, which is 5.9", so plan on 6", with the floor level within 5 mm across the length of the lift and the concrete fully cured before anchors are set. If your floor is thinner than that, the manual requires footings poured at the platform ends.
Do I need an air compressor?
Yes. The safety locks are pneumatic, so shop air is required to release them for lowering. Any normal shop compressor handles it, but it does mean this lift is not a good fit for a garage with no air supply. If that is your situation, tell us and we will steer you elsewhere.
What power does it need?
240V single phase, 3 HP, 12 amps, 60Hz on a dedicated circuit. That is a step up from the 120V mid rise and does mean an electrician and a proper drop. Have the circuit confirmed and run before the installer arrives.
Will a long wheelbase vehicle fit?
Each platform is 59" on its own, extending to 83" with the approach ramps fitted as extensions. That covers most cars and light trucks. Capacity is the harder limit at 6,600 lbs, which rules out heavier three quarter and one ton pickups.
How does delivery work?
It ships as two crates: the lift at 67" x 26" x 17" and 1,700 lbs, and the pump at 20" x 15" x 43" and 200 lbs. The lift crate is compact but very dense, so a forklift rather than a pallet jack is the safe assumption. Talk to a lift specialist before ordering so the delivery is planned.
What is the warranty?
Five years structural, two years on power units, cylinders, and seal kits, and one year on all other defective parts. Daytona has served shops in the United States and Canada since 1999 and stocks parts in regional warehouses.
