what would be your first choice? Thats what came with the lift.

Lift manufacturer said minimum 3' x 3' footer, cut through concrete and go underneath existing slab, and also dowel into existing slab with rebar. This is what the installers will be doing, except they said they usually do 4' x 4' when they need to concrete work at dealerships. I feel like a...

***UPDATE*** Hey all, So I talked to the owner of the company about what happened. To make a long story short, he came back out with the same 2 installers and installed another anchor in the same area that failed. This time making sure to blow out any and all debris in the hole. We dropped...

Correct. They were hammering on the setting tool. The tool needs to seat against the top surface of the anchor. With repeated blows, it was not moving down at all and did not come in contact with the anchor. I believe that the hole was drilled too shallow. But Im not sure. Wondering if anyone...

I don't think they undersized the holes... Maybe oversize? Or not deep enough. The instructions state to tap the anchor flush with the surface if necessary. After they drilled the holes, the anchors dropped in and went right to the bottom of the hole.

Oh I didn't notice you were in socal as well. I'm in Woodland Hills. How about you?

I just measured the spacing of the holes on the lift post itself. There are 6 holes and 2 of them are 4.75 inches center to center. The others are all more than 5 inches away from each other. No one ever mentioned this in the threads about the Triumph C7000 from NAT. Seems very stupid to ship...

ABOUT THE POST BEING TOO CLOSE THE THE WALL: I want to make this more clear to everyone: The holes you see in the picture that have the crack running between them ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GARAGE. If you look at the picture near the wall, only two 1 inch holes are drilled. They did not even...

They drilled a 1 inch hole which is what the instructions called for. They had a brand new drill bit and they did vacuum out the hole. By wedge anchors, what do you mean? The type that have a threaded rod sticking out of the floor? I wanted to be able to remove one post and move it out of...

Im in socal, near LA. The inserts are the Powers brand anchors that take a 3/4 bolt and they are 3 inches long. Have you ever had the setting tool not come in contact with the top of the anchor and remove the blue paint? The anchors were not supplied by the installers. They were shipped...

I assumed since it cracked between all the holes that it was not strong enough. And actually, they installed the anchors in the holes that were in the middle of the garage first. They didnt even finish drilling the holes near the wall after they saw the first set of holes form a crack between...

Thank you all for your replies. So it sounds like the quote for $1000 is in the right ball park. The break down for that quote is: ---$550 for the 8500 and installing it. ---$450 for the vertical tracks, galvanized springs, nylon sealed ball bearing rollers and labor to install. I know I...

Hey guys, With my upcoming lift install, I wanted to make sure I had all the room I needed. I decided to convert my garage door to a high lift and use a wall mounted opener on the jack shaft. I'm keeping the same garage door because they said it was a really good one and it will work. I had...

I'll add my input since it is slightly different from the previous responses. I was also looking at the MaxJax because I have 9 foot ceilings and liked the idea of being able to move it out of the way. What I did not like is that the MaxJax only has TWO lock heights. You raise the lift up to...
