I bought a 4 post Bend Pac Lift that is currently installed in the sellers garage. It is the type that MUST be bolted to the cement slab, and is not a free standing 4 post. I'm trying to decide how to move it to my garage and reinstall it.
I've got access to a trailer and 3 or 4 buddies are willing to help, my concern is the setup. Since this lift must be anchored with impact cement bolts, leveled, aligned and shimed in order to function proplerly, i'm a little concerned about doing it "RIGHT". I have called some people and I can hire a professional to take it down, transport it and set it up correctly for 1k, alot of money for sure, but i'll know it's done right. Looking for some been there done that from the group. If it was a stand alone four post I'd do it myself no problem, i'm leaning towards paying to have it done. What would you guys do?

Thanks everyone, I just called Boulder County, they are going to call me back if they can come up with the slab thinckness, if not 4inch they will have to cut and repour deeper in those areas
I scheduled to have it installed by pro's. $700 to take it down from the sellers house, transport it, and set it up in my garage. since I was looking at pulling favors to borrow truck, trailer, and 3 friends, and rent the equipment to drive the concrete bolts in, 700 started to sound like a deal! Plus Sunday was my only free day for use of the friends trailer, and well that's Mom's day so that 700 is going to go along way in the happyness factor of my household.
