Racedeck with 2 post lift?

[buddha2364]

So what is everyone doing with the flooring and 2 post lifts? I'm seeing pictures where it looks like posts are being set directly on top of the Racedeck flooring?

Lifts are used with RaceDeck all the time. Zero issues. Type of lift and how it is being installed dictate if it goes above tile or if you tile around it.

I realize they're used all the time, but was surprised to see 2 post looking to set on top. 4 post I can see, as you're spreading the load out. What I'm more interested in is the arm swing-out clearance. Not that the flooring is an inch thick, but the low profile ones sit pretty close to the floor, and building the floor aournd a lift may get a little close.

If the lift is going to be in the same spot or if it is fixed I would put the tile over the base. If the lift is going to move or be moved you go on top. There are some exceptions. Typically I look at the footprint and go from there.

if I am missing something I apologize. When you have a model number pm me

All good, just looking to see what others have done.

You might want to look here: https://www.garageflooringllc.com/2021/09/22/johns-truelock-hdxt-diamond-garage/ for an example. I am sure we have a bunch more examples.

Here the lift is staying in one spot and mechanically fastened. It makes sense to tile around it

WIth 2-post you generally install the post directly on concrete then trim RACEDECK around. With 4 post, you would just place the lift On Top Of RaceDeck

Is that a quickjack in the last picture? I have not used one personally and was wondering if you had

Yes it's a QuickJack, really a great system and can be portable too! if you don't have the space or the budget for a full-size lift, they are great

I cut around my 2 post lift but I'm not sure if it is an ideal solution since the lift arms now rub on the flooring when fully lowered with the lock disengaged. I'm trying to find a solution. I don't think setting posts on top of the tiles is a good idea...

It depends!
Thickness of tiles
Some lift arms are knuckle draggers (meaning there is little space from the arm bottom to floor)
My Mohawk 7K probably would have issues
