Concrete leveling for lift

[Exiged]

Hi guys!

I have an older garage that had a recent floor poured in that is not level and even has some good 1" dips here and there. It was a quick job that I should have paid to do right but that didn't happen. It's not really a huge deal as it works fine for my needs but now I want to put in a scissor lift. My problem is the floor isn't level enough or even enough for a scissor lift. So is there away to get a section level just for the lift? 6x6'? Besides taking it all out and redoing it or cutting out the floor and dropping in a fresh poured section for it.

Yes I realize I should have done it right the first time so please don't drill that into me further

Any leveling compound you put in there will chip out the moment you put the concentrated weight of a scissor lift on it.

Unless you want to replace the concrete the right way, any patch will be just that.

I would recommend getting a sheet of 1/4" steel about a foot larger in each dimension than your lift. That will give you a very smooth and strong support base. It wouldn't be a bad idea to use that leveling compound on the concrete before putting the plate down since the plate will distribute the weight nicely.

A steel yard can cut a sheet for you. It might cost a couple of hundred dollars, but it's the easy and simple solution.

Good idea! I'll prob get some steel and grind out the concrete till it's level on each spot and put the steel down
