I am having visions of someone bolting the lift to a 2" slab and having the whole thing fail and kill someone.
Do your homework on your garage floor first.

If you go to their website, they go into detail on the type of slab needed. They even show the math. All you need is 4" and no cracks. 4" is code here, but YMMV depending on location. I lucked out and it ended up being located on a 24" thick part of the slab.

The no crack thing is key and show me a slab on grade with out a crack. And good luck finding a contractor that pours a full 4 inch slab in a garage.

Looks like a great product at a reasonable price just dont kill yourself. No skimping on the proper foundation.

Unless you're building the garage with a future lift in mind, this is key. If your house has an existing garage, do your homework.
