My garage was designed with high walls and a cathedral ceiling to one day
accommodate a home lift system. I don't need one just yet, but am always
keeping my eyes open for a bargain that would make me pull the trigger faster.
There is an auto shop closing about a mile from my house and they are selling
their 10,000 lb commercial lift. It is far more than I will ever need, but
they are currently asking $1000 and need it gone by tomorrow, so they would
probably take less. However, I just checked the architectural plans on my
garage floor and here is what it says about the floor:
4" concrete slab with 6 x 6 x W1.4 x W1.4 W.W.M. on gravel fill as required.
I don't understand anything after "slab", but this doesn't seem like much to
me. Should I forgo the commercial lift at any price? Will I be ok with a
lighter weight one? It only needs to be able to lift and store a Sunbeam
Alpine, so 10,000 lbs is way overkill.
Thanks.
