I was using a huge overhead crane trying to pull some stubborn concrete, a 3/4 anchor will stretch and tear in half before it will come out of good concrete. When they wedge in they really wedge in. Sounds like you got a great deal on the lift, sure it will be super useful around the homestead.
@@rawbacon yeah, usually the concrete fails around the wedge bolt, crumbling and widening the hole long before the bolt comes loose. Already been super handy.
Wow, there was a lot more to it than I realized. My friend has one similar to that and I get to use it once in a while. My garage doesn't have enough overhead clearance for a lift. But it's much easier to warm mine up.
Considering I literally built my barn to accommodate a lift (though my measurements were a bit off) and I've been waiting my whole life to and been preparing for many years to get one of these, this is one of those "level up" moments in my life. BTW, I looked into that "nut cracker/diy ammo press", I think you may be right. I'll bring it back up next week after a little more research. Thank you.
4000 pound concrete with fiber mesh is good. I did my brothers he had 3000 pound concrete and it been 10 years now. We did it exactly the way you did it
