The people I spoke to at bendpak were assholes regarding the second 4 post lift I got from them

I’m in SW Virginia forgot who I used and not home now to look it up ill Post it when I can they were beyond bad though

Some people in customer service at bendpak are dumb as rocks IMO

As an industrial/commercial electrician got certified for Hilti epoxy anchors.its not rocket science.installed hundreds tested to failure saw some take concrete with them.I’ve installed many types of wedge anchor.i consider the epoxy type easier to use and leaving less room for error.

4 post lifts should have columns that are plumb when loaded and unloaded that’s why they supply shims not saying disaster will follow if not bolted down I say a lot rides on your floor and the extent of deviation of being plumb

Ase deals are great right up till you fork over your money then u can go **** your self

May you reunite with him someday
