My New Shop!! Yiippeee!
just dig out a little deeper in the area you legs will be located and pour it thicker with the rest 4 ". When I put my lift in I sawed a 2 ft strip and dug it out deep enough to hold 2 yds of concrete since that was minimum order. You may have to leave an opening between trusses where lift will sit. Mine is 12 ft tall. No problem doing it like that because vehicle will not go that high. Will be very nice, congrats, Joe
"just dig out a little deeper"
Damn right! Why didn't I think of that. A yd of concrete is $84. Lets just say it takes 5 more yds to poor a 6" slab verus a 4". That's additional $420!!
Here is lift specifications and the type lift I would like to have. It might not be exactly this one but it will be close. The lift would have a slider in the middle that a oil catch can could be placed on as well as air operated jacks (one for each side of the vehicle to lift the tire off the platform). You probably have seen this type lift system. I will have around 11' of ceiling height but not sure at this point.
