    An other darn lift question...

    I could build some insulation on top of it, that's a fact. and even thinking about it, the garage isn't going to be heated all the time so if the rest of the mechanism works ok in the cold before the garage gets to a nice temperature, i suppose the rest should follow... maybe that was a dumb...

    An other darn lift question...

    yeah i know there are bottom plate but i would like to have a top plate to not have to go over that bump since only very low cars will go on that lift. Plus, i feel that those with a top brace might be a little stronger since the post can't really collapse one onto each other.

    An other darn lift question...

    Here is my question, i was thinking about getting a 2 posts low ceiling lift as i have 11' ceiling so i would have a bar at the bottom between both column. My question is, since i have a pretty high roof on top of that, can i run the top of the lift (top brace and mecanisim) in the roof? I live...

    Question for the engineers, 2 post lift installation

    I am not in the US, i am in a small city in Quebec Canada, we certainly have no specialist around here and pretty sure that if i need to buy a rotary or bendpak or any of those big brands, i will have to buy it out of province.

    Question for the engineers, 2 post lift installation

    i already have a 4 posts lift but i am unable to take out an engine from under the car or work on suspension and wheels. Although that doesn't bother me a lot, pulling a Porsche engine with the car lifted in the air on jack stands isn't really safe either. Unless someone has a good solution on...

    Question for the engineers, 2 post lift installation

    I have not bought the lift yet by the way so i don't own a rotary. I want to make sure i can install it in the garage before i buy it. Did you install the angle iron yourself or did it come with it? I will also be installing a low ceiling lift like this.

    Question for the engineers, 2 post lift installation

    i tend to agree, i really doubt they have a concrete or mechanical engineer that can answer my questions. An the team of engineer that designed the thing are probably not working there anymore, it's designed, wht keep the designer? I am sure all i'll get for answer is pour a new concrete. I...

    Question for the engineers, 2 post lift installation

    hmm this is interesting, i am not really afraid of the lift sinking but more of the concrete tearing up if unbalanced. Not really afraid of the bolts coming out because i will be using epoxy for the bolts instead of those mechanical anchor thing. My guy said he poured 4" but what if it is...

    Question for the engineers, 2 post lift installation

    Here is my dilemma, the minimum request for a 2 post lift installation is 4" of concrete with 3000 PSI rating. This is what i have, but not more. I wish i was safer so i read everywhere i need to cut the concrete on a 4'x4' square and pour a thicker slab. Thing is, my concrete is brand new and i...
