Concrete Requirements

The lift is only as secure as the concrete supporting it. Before installation, verify that your floor meets the minimum installation requirements.

Minimum Requirements

Fully cured concrete
Steel-reinforced concrete
Minimum thickness: 4 inches
Minimum compressive strength: 3,000 PSI
Maximum floor slope: 2 degrees

Before Installing Your Lift

☐ Concrete is fully cured.
☐ Concrete is steel reinforced.
☐ Slab is at least 4 inches thick.
☐ Concrete strength is at least 3,000 PSI.
☐ Installation area is level and free of significant cracks.

Why These Requirements Matter

Fully Cured Concrete: Fresh concrete continues to gain strength as it cures. Do not install the lift until the slab has fully cured.

Steel-Reinforced Concrete: Reinforcing steel helps distribute the loads applied by the anchor bolts and improves the durability of the installation.

Thickness and Strength: The anchor system depends on adequate slab thickness and concrete strength to achieve a safe installation.

When in Doubt

If you are unsure whether your floor meets these requirements, have it evaluated before drilling any anchor holes. Taking time to verify the foundation is far easier than relocating a completed installation.

Let's Talk

If you have questions about your concrete floor or your installation site, we'd be happy to discuss it with you.
