LEARANCE

Check the height of the area where the lift is to be 
installed. Clearance should be calculated based on 
the full raised height of the lift. 

Failure by purchaser to provide 
adequate clearance could result in 
unsatisfactory lift performance, 
property damage, or personal injury. 

F

LOORING

Be certain you have the proper concrete floor 
to properly handle the loaded lift. Floor 
should be in generally good condition with no 
large cracks, spalling or deterioration.  

Minimum requirements for concrete are 6 inches 
minimum depth, with steel reinforcement, 3500 
psi, cured for 28 days per local commercial 
practice. Floor should be level within 3/8 inch over 
the installation area. No anchors should be 
installed within 6 inches of any crack, edge, or 
expansion joint. If these conditions cannot be 
met, a pad may be poured to accommodate the 
lift.  

Check with local building inspectors and/or 
permits office for any special instructions or 
approvals required for your installation. 

Failure by purchaser to 
provide the recommended 
mounting surface could 

result in unsatisfactory lift performance, property 
damage, or personal injury.
