    I want to move my lift, good idea?

    Having talked to Atlas more than once, I no longer wish to pursue concrete questions with them, I'm more after concrete guys here with more input. But, alas, while on the couch just now I had an epiphany. I do not believe I can move it. See, to be 12" from the anchor holes (epoxy filled or...

    I want to move my lift, good idea?

    Hey guys, I have a two post lift on 4" 4500PSI concrete with wire mesh in it. This was poured new well over a year ago for my garage build. Now with more lift use time on my belt, I really would like to move my lift. I am 2' from the edge of the pad now, I want to remain at the same spot...

    Can you help me judge this photo?

    I came up real short on the far wall, like more than a foot. Do see other wise? I counted 15 squares from footing to edge.

    Not only has it been poured, it's 8 weeks old and cured nicely. Verbatim : Contractor : Where do you want the lift ? Me : 3 feet from the south wall and 10 feet from the west wall. In the photo above, I am facing west.

    Can you help me judge this photo?

    Something happened up there in the past few replies, and I have no idea what ... I have 4" deep with wire mesh in it. I can not say if my concrete guy put my footings for my lift in the right spot. I believe he used wire mesh that has 6" squares in it, leading me to believe, based on...

    Can you help me judge this photo?

    My slab is 4" thick. Atlas says 3" @ 3000 PSI minimum, but I always read advice to go over that by more than I have.

    Can you help me judge this photo?

    Ok they appear to be 6" squares, so I'm ok with the distance from the left wall but I'm screwed on the far wall. 7 1/2" is not enough. Can I drop this this anywhere given the strength and depth of my concrete ?

    Can you help me judge this photo?

    I've been told they used 4" square wire? I see three squares so that's 12", then the 12" footings would make it two feet from left wall. That's cool, I can go with that.. I believe I see 14 squares to the far wall with the footing wouldn't that be 5 feet ?!!

    Can you help me judge this photo?

    I asked my concrete guy to put my footings 10' from one wall and 3' from the other. I was unable to measure these footing myself before the pour. Can anyone tell if they followed those directions? If they did not, Can I anchor my 9000# Atlas PV-9P anywhere in my 6 bag 4500PSI concrete...

    Receiving my Atlass PV-9P Tomorrow.

    This could get ugly. I have two guys and a very sturdy 3x3 dolly. Old Dominion will ship it to my Plant, I can use a fork lift to get it in to the less than ideal Uhaul Cube Van. Then I have to get it out of that at home. I do not have access to a Cherry Picker or any Machinery. I...
