<p>A lift (100) is provided with a low profile lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism (160) includes a first member (130) pivotally connected to a base (102), a second member (140) pivotally connected to the first member (130) and a third member (150) pivotally connected to the second member (140) and to the base (102). When the lifting mechanism (160) is lowered into the bottom position, the first, second and third members rest flat instead of stacked on each other. As a result, it is possible for the lifting mechanism (160) to fit within the height of the base (102) when the lift is in the bottom position. Thus, the overall height of the lifting mechanism (160) in the bottom position is no more than required for the height of the base (102) and the rollers.
