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?
