Running a quick calc I get post spacing about 11 feet. This is based on 40 psf live load. You would be better buying 4 individual beams, should be cheaper. Goto a 11.25" deep beam, easily get away with only 2 posts. I based this design on Microlam LVL 2.0 from Truss Joist (Weyerhaeuser)

Hilti HIT HY 200 Problem is hammering through might damage the underside of the slab, blowout, etc that you are now putting a anchor in a damaged hole. How thick is your slab at the lift? Might be a good idea to have a new base plate made that is epoxied down, and then the lift bolted to...
