All,
I am rebuilding the garage, very small NE garage 19' x 10' and about 8' clear. I am thinking about installing a 2 post lift where each post would be against the walls, out of the way. I am concerned about the safety of these lifts, I would only be putting 914s or 911s on this lift. 1. Is the anchoring of the pad sufficient to keep these from tilting (forward/back)? 2. How deep do the anchors need to be placed into the floor? Very little detail on web sites. 3. Are there any preferences as to vendors? I have been looking at this one: https://www.toolots.com/two-post-car-lift-l...#productDetails My requirements are that the lift be as small (footprint) and safe as possible. THANK YOU ALL TEENERS!

Each of the two Rotary lifts (7,000# and 10,000#) are clear floor, asymmetrical two post lifts. Each of them (and many others) call for a minimum of 3,000 PSI concrete with a minimum thickness of 4 1/2". They both require 3/4" concrete anchors with a minimum length of 5 1/2" with a minimum anchor embedment of 3-1/2".
The anchors must be properly installed and the torque rating is supposed to be at least 150 ft-lbs. My floor is more than 6" thick and I had no problems drilling and torquing my anchor bolts to my floor when I installed my lifts. At least Rotary Lifts does have ways of making the lifts fit low ceiling clearance, and narrow or wide bays, but lift height might be affected. |
