Foundation / Slab For Vehicle Lifts
Foundation / Slab For Vehicle Lifts
(OP)
I have information/data/cut-sheets from (2) competitor suppliers of 2-post vehicle lifts / hoists with capacities of 10 & 12K.
Both suppliers recommend only a 4" concrete slab. When asked about a moment at the base, a rep told me that the anchor bolt layout disperses the moment. How do these slabs NOT fail? What am i missing?
Myself and a colleague both come with 12" of each other in preliminary design in the neighborhood of requiring a 6'x8' footing.
One supplier said, "We've been selling them for years without a problem!"

I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
