Concrete lift pad

How long before I can set up the lift on a fresh pad pour?

Not looking to put a car up just set the lift up. Taking up a lot of space now.

Thanks.

I would say after full strength. You dont want your anchors to cause the concrete to crack, spall.

OK, that is 28 days.

Thanks.

I waited 30 days to mount the lift then another 2 weeks or so to put a truck on it. So far so good. Saw cut every 12'

Were test cylinders done on your project? If so, they can be broken at 28 days to see if it is up to design strength. If not, I would give it a couple of extra weeks just in case.

The majority of concretes strength will be achieved by the 28th day.

28 days is the standard. Many mixes reach full strength much quicker. Ask your supplier for a break tests. I bet you are close after 7 days.
