Well, I finally received my POWERsert anchors last week and removed a section of my garage floor. Hopefully you can see the removed section in the attached picture. The removed section is 11' long x 3' wide x 8" deep. In addition to undercutting the existing slab to "key" the new pour to the...

I contacted Gabe at Danmar and explained my anchor situation. He, as well as the Wej-It representative, recommend the use of the POWER-sert epoxy anchors. I ordered them through Danmar yesterday and should have them, hopefully, later this week. Next step...saw-cut my floor. I don't want to...

I spoke with a representative from Wej-It today regarding the replacement of my MaxJax anchors. He recommended the POWER-sert epoxy anchors. It looks like you can buy an installation kit with 10 anchors from Danmar for $149. I think I am going to go this route. I just hate to deviate from...

Here is a post I did from another thread that outlines my dilemma from the start: Hi, This is my first ever post here on The Garage Journal so I apologize if this is a repeat issue. I have had my MaxJAx for a little over a year now and have not really experienced any problems. My issue is...

I thought about that 38chevy454. Only problem is that I didn't have to drill all the way through my slab to install the wej-it anchors. I don't know that I can pull them all out and not damage the slab. I did read where people were doing that but I think they were able to drive the wej-it's...

You have me scratching my head with this threaded rod idea. You may be on to something here. The only possible problem that I could see is that when these types of anchors fail they blow the concrete out in a cone shaped pattern. The cone being wider at the surface of the concrete and...

I don't think an "L" shaped 5/8" anchor bolt will deform under the resulting stresses of a 6000# load. Especially since the lift consists of 2-posts with 5-anchors each to distribute the load. My problem is I can't seem to find a cast-in-place anchor that meets the same specifications as the...

Thanks Burke, that is a good idea. I was thinking about doing something similar but was just wondering if there was something out there that was pretty much ready made for what I would like to do. I can stick woo pieces of metal together but probably would not trust my welds. Do you think a...

To combine what Zeke and LLWillysfan have suggested, if your walls are CMU's (cement blocks) or something that you don't mind drilling into, anchor a 2x4 to the wall using a few tapcons. Set the bottom edge of the 2x4 2" above the elevation of your proposed finished floor. Then set another 2x4...

Hi All, I recently have had an issue with my wej-it anchors for my Max Jax. It seems that one has become loose in the socket and I am unable to re-set it. So now I am nerved out about all of them! In addition, I was never real crazy about the whole expandable anchor thing anyway. Therefore...

Hi, I recently posted this info/question under a different topic here on The Garage Journal so I apologize for the repeat issue but I noticed this specific topic was closely related to my concerns. I have had my MaxJAx for a little over a year now and have not really experienced any...

MaxJax Anchor Bolts Hi, This is my first ever post here on The Garage Journal so I apologize if this is a repeat issue. I have had my MaxJAx for a little over a year now and have not really experienced any problems. My issue is with the anchors. The instructions included with the lift...
