A vehicle lift includes a vehicle support member, a cylinder, and a controller. A linear transducer—such as a string potentiometer—is (preferably removably) positioned inside the cylinder. The transducer detects the position of the cylinder and sends a corresponding signal to a controller that controls the height of the support member in response to the signal. The cylinder acts on the vehicle support member through a scissor mechanism, parallelogram linkage, or straight vertical hydraulic lifting.
