I think I can get the old ones out, if I keep tightening them they either have to pull themselves out, or start spinning free. If they spin free I'll yank them out with a big slide hammer. I'm hoping they just pull themselves out the rest of the way by tightening the but down. I will order the...

It actually already has those same baseplate extensions. I bought them with the lift because I knew the concrete was at the minimum standard. They sold them to me cheap since I was buying the lift at the same time. The seem to work well, 13 bolts in each side. Those are the few anchors that came...

What about epoxy anchors. Which type work the best? Even if I do resources the concrete the epoxy seems like a stronger way to anchor the posts

What's everyone's take on anchors? Epoxy and threaded Rod? These anchors are the ones that came with the lift. They do look cheap. But they worked just fine in my other overhead lift (same brand)

That's pretty much what I had in mind. Except I thought about coming off the post from 2 points to form a triangle on each side, structures love triangles

Pouring new concrete is also being considered. That is the only "true fix" and I know that. Wish is wasn't the case

I did contact them. Just waiting to hear back. Thought I would check to see if anyone else had run into this same issue. I much prefer overhead lifts, but this baseplate lift is wide enough for us to drive through and that is the only reason we have it. So I'm just trying to figure out the best...

It looks like the columns have an option to go taller. There are holes on each column that look like an extention could go there. I'm not talking about building something flimsy. This would basically be a steel truck made from 2x3 .250 tubing. The tubing would be welded to 1/4" or thicker plates...

Floor thickness specifies 6 inches. I drilled 1 hole and it was every bit of 6 inches. So I installed one post with no issues. Once I n got to the other side, the floor slopes to a drain and the concrete on that side is closer to 5.5" where the outside lift anchors are. That's where they are...

I have 2 lifts in my shop. One overhead and the other baseplate. The baseplate is 12k lb and for heavy trucks, but my floor is only about 5 inch. So I have had 0 issues up until today. I've had several cars on the baseplate lift. Today I put a crew cab dually on it. When raising the truck I...
