1957 storage lift recommendations wanted

[vernz]

I have a 28x50 garage under construction with 12 foot side walls. My plan is to put up to 4 four post lifts in it. These will mainly be used for storage. Does anyone have any recommendations? Budget friendly would be nice since I will get the four. When I select a manufacturer I will ask them about recommended concrete floor thickness, but any thoughts here would be appreciated. Thanks, Vern

6-8 inches would be the required thickness to hold the weight of the lift plus car.

A standard residential concrete floor (cast on grade) is 4" over 4" of crushed stone. This is enough to carry a normal car on a four post lift.

Thanks for the advice. My builder will put in 6 inches of high strength concrete over 4 inches of crushed stone. I'm looking into Halo car lifts. Anyone have different ideas?

I would research this using Google and Google Gemini. There are actual customer reviews on there. Very few people on the group here have lifts like this.

Your builder should be involved in this too.

I would put 4mil plastic down before laying concrete. This would help keep moisture down in your garage.

Benpack lifts. My hotrod buddy reseached it to death. I know two rodders that have and love the Benpack
