4 post lift vs. 2 post lift. Pros and Cons.

Two post if you work on stuff four post for storage.

I bought my Weaver 9k two post used around 1995. It has a floor plate since the original owner had a low being in his shop. Not an issue at all.

I realize everyone has a budget but I would never buy a cheap Chicom lift. Buy a good quality USA lift and you will have it forever.

My old Weaver is fab'd from 3/4 and 1" steel. You won't see that in a $1500.00 lift. I paid $1800.00 for mine.

As far as concrete goes if the posts have a large pad, and you use 1" concrete fasteners, you can be safe with 4" of concrete.
