How to Mount Two Post Lifts

Post lifts are designed to lift vehicles, for under-vehicle repair. There are many types of lifts out there, but they all require similar specifications for their mounting applications. When mounting post-lifts of any kind, it is best to start with fresh concrete. If the concrete has cracks or is crumbling, it should be replaced before trying to mount any type of machinery to it. Automobiles are heavy, and faulty concrete could lead to poorly installed equipment.

Post lifts can be mounted in private garages for individual projects.

Instructions

1.Position the post-lifts upright, 109 ½-inches apart. They should be at least 6 inches away from a crack or a seam. Their arms should be facing each other, and their bases should be parallel.

2.Mark the bolting holes through the mounting brackets, and on the cement by tracing through the bolt holes with your pencil. Drill a 3/4-inch-diameter, and 5 ½-inch-deep hole in each of the markings. Keep the drill bit perpendicular to the cement.

3.Blow the dust out with your air-compressor, to clean out the holes.

4.Tap the anchor bolts gently into each of the holes with your hammer, and leave ¾-inch of the bolt at the top. Do not damage the threads. Place the washer over each bolt, and screw the nuts on, until they're finger tight. Tighten them down with your wrench, turning them no more than 3 full turns. Very hard concrete may only require 2 full turns. If the bolts pull out, they will need to be relocated.
