thickness, 3000-psi concrete slab that has been properly cured.
3. Make sure that the area where the lift will be located is free of obstructions for 12 ft.
above the floor. This includes heaters, building supports, conduits, etc.
4. Make sure there is adequate space to allow movement around the lift with a vehicle in
place.
