Luckily I got a good friend to help me. It was a lot of work, and very tiring to install.
All these new fangled lifts have a secondary lock, and if it goes wonky it basically jams up.I would be worried about it tipping over ,say your letting it down and you didn’t notice a safety lock was hung up and all the weight shifts ?? At least if she’s bolted down you got a chance .
OP is from CA! Hell yeah, I'd bolt that down, AND I'd cross brace it, too. Earthquakes do happen. I had a car on rollers in my garage during our so-called Nisqually earthquake in Seattle back in 02(?). My '78 Magnum skated several feet and I found it up next to my 67 Cuda. Fortunately, the layers of Hazard Fright shipping blankets saved them from making hard contact. and major damage."I don't know nothin' bout no stinkin' bolts"
Can you say EARTHQUAKE!
I wouldn't just bolt it down, I would cross brace it, 3500 lbs 6 feet off the ground in a 6.0 would create a lot of forces where you don't want it
I have one of Advantage 9000 lb 4 post lifts. It also has the caster kit. I haven't bolted it down yet and really don't see the need to.
I have the go ahead from the boss to get one so I have few questions if you don't mind. Did you have it delivered to your place and did you have to unload it yourself? Is there anything you would do differently now that you have it all set up? By the way, congrats on pulling the trigger on a great buy.Luckily I got a good friend to help me.

Me too.I have a different brand lift but it looks EXACTLY like yours. It could be they are from the same factory but with different branding?
I'm jealous! I have no garage as of last year and have to work outside at 62 years old. Sucks to say the least. 2 more years and I'm going to NC. Then I hope to have a shop again. Congrats! Looks great!
