This is friggen awesome! I'm having a new garage built starting next week and was wondering if the gravel backfill leading into it (temporary....) would be too much for the 4 post casters to handle (moving the lift 100 ft from house garage to new detached.). I swear my house looks like this, my lift like this, and my 5x8 trailer like this...only difference is my truck is a Ford... :-). This is pure genius!!! So glad I saw this. Heck, even one of my floor jacks is the same HF lightweight floor jack. smh
@@SpringVinMoto one question...once you jack up the 4 posts, what did you do to prevent them from just dropping again? Does the hyrdraulics/piston just hold them where you jack them up to?
Can someone help me please? 1) Can you suggest any proven methods of installing such a lift in a garage that has a slope of at least 4-5 inches? 2) Also, would the lift shift if I don’t bolt it to the ground? (I would rather not anchor it as my concrete slab is only 4 inches thick.) Last question: 3) Is 4 inch thick concrete floor even enough to to support the lift with the vehicles? I would appreciate if you could please answer all or at least some of my questions🙏
I am not an expert, at all! That does seem like a lot of fall but not sure if that will affect the lift. We installed ours on a 4" slab and did not anchor it down. With that slope I think i would use a couple of Redhead anchors. I would check Bendpak for safety instructions though
Watched the videos that was playing in the background, now I watched this one 💪🏽 good idea
This is brilliant! Thank you... I was about to contact a disassembler

Cool! Congrats on the new garage. That was my brother's Ch&vy. I dive an F150 too

@@jmrandom194 I think we wedged 2x4s in there
So, how do you get the posts onto the floor jacks? You skipped the hard part!
My exact same question. I will be doing this soon and need to know.
We just lifted them up with man power high enough to get the Jack under. 💪

I need to move a Bend Pak lift. What are the two by fours used for.
If I remember correctly, we wedged them in the tracks to keep the lift platform from moving up when we set it on the trailer
Didn't you use the 2x4 to hold the post up,
Keep in mind you are over 8' wide so technically a wide load needing a permit.
