2. PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION PROGRAM
WHAT TO LOOK FOR

3. BE OBSERVANT ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS LOOK EYE LEVEL Bay width and depth
Electrical box location
Existing equipment (tool boxes, alignment system, tire balancers, wheel changers, etc.)
LOOK DOWN
Floor: Is it sloped?
Old anchors, drains
Cracks
Expansion joints, etc.
Look up
Ceiling fans
Garage door rails
Lighting
Ceiling joists
Radiant heat, etc.
ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS

4. MEASURING A BAY
Measure the height of the bay to the lowest point over the span of the lift
10K 2-post min. 12’
12K 2-post min. 13’11”
15K & 18K 2-post min. 14’8”

5. MEASURING A BAY
Measure the width of the lift and look at the concrete condition
Measure the overall length of the bay from the wall or the tool box if there is one in front of the lift
Fill out the Install Sheet as accurately as possible.

6. MEASURING EXAMPLES

7. MEASURING A BAY ALWAYS MEASURE
Three measurements of the space (examples)
Height: 12’+
Width: 12’+
Depth: 24’
12’ minimum ceiling height
Some lifts have extensions for taller applications
ALWAYS MEASURE

11. CONCRETE REQUIREMENTS
THE BASICS
4 inches minimum depth
Reinforced
3500 psi
Cured AT LEAST 28 days
8” away from any crack/seam
For shops located in cold-weather climates, always note if the floor is heated

12. CONCRETE ISSUES
Asking questions about the concrete can alleviate potential issues when installing a lift.
Check for broken or cracked concrete where the lift will be mounted.
Lifts must be mounted at least 8” from a saw cut, control joint, wall, or crack.
Look for floor drains.
Look for old anchor holes; a new anchor hole must be 2 ¾” away from an old hole
Look to see if there was an old inground lift in the bay
Ask if there are any utilities below ground
Note any issues w/ the above on lift install sheet.
Any issues may result in needing concrete work.
OLD ANCHORS
DRAINS

13. CONCRETE ISSUES This is an example of a bad install:
Lifts were installed over an old lift footprint and severe cracking.
These would fail an inspection and should have not been installed

14. CONCRETE OPTIONS POUR NEW CONCRETE PADS EPOXY ANCHORS
Allows for an install w/ in 3” from saw cut or control joint.
Will be a upcharge for special anchors.
MUST be approved by the installer.
