Thank you all for your advice! I will definitely be looking into bendpaks concrete requirements and cut this stuff out and replace with new stronger and thicker concrete. Unfortunately I have found several examples of things being half a**ed in the construction of this building so I have to...

Hi everyone, I have an unfortunate and unique situation that I could use some input on. I already have an idea of what I may do to fix my issue, but additional insight is always welcome. Let me start off by saying I moved in October, one of the requirements for the place I bought was it had to...

Thank you, yes that definitely helps ease my mind a bit and is great information to know. Yes I definitely plan to buy at least 2 screw jacks for the larger vehicles. Thank you for posting on here though, I really appreciate it!

That is great information, I appreciate you taking the time to reply!

Great pics I really appreciate it! Can I ask what that lift is rated for and what’s the heaviest thing you’ve had on it?

Thank you! I’m a little over an hour away from you in lindsborg lol, small world.

Would you mind sending me pics of your anchor setup if you have time? Also, does your screen name mean you’re from Kansas?

Everybody has their own opinions, and while I appreciate your input I find it odd that you have to resort to insults in your replies.

I’ve been looking for someone with real world results, thank you!

Thank you, I really appreciate your input. It’s both a blessing and a curse because it causes additional stress, but I also feel that thinking this way has prevented some very costly mistakes for me as well on other projects before, but you can’t always think of everything!

This is just a rough sketch, it’s not to scale or anything yet so it will definitely change before the final product. That’s good to know about those cuts though, thank you!

The bendpak lift doesn’t have any so I don’t think I’ll add any to this piece of steel but that’s good thinking. The one thing the bendpak lift does have is a cut in the base plate from each anchor hole directly to the perimeter of the steel plate. I’m honestly not sure what those cuts are for...

Will be adding a plate like this to the base plate using 3 of the lifts current anchors on the one side and drilling 2 new holes next to it. All will be spaced at least as far apart as the current anchors if not further

Yeah so this lift has the new bi metric arms so that’ll take some getting used to, this is a true symmetric lift but can also be loaded asymmetric. I used to work at a mechanic shop in town for several years and I’ve lifted probably hundreds of vehicles on a 2 post lift so I’m definitely...

Yes sir, the plan is to use something like this, 3/4” thick. 2 of these per post
