Hi All

I have been considering getting a 2 post lift for some time. Garaage ceiling is 8' 9" high so wa going to get adjustments to the middle 5 roof trusses to make a higher section in the middle, taking the height up to 10' - 11'. I need to find my truss drawings so the engineer can make the calculations. Ayway, if/when I get that done, I hope to get a 4 ton 2 post ift installed.

The question I have is, how deep does the concrete floor need to be to install a 2 post lift? How long do the bolts need to be?

My floor is approx 5 1/2 inches deep with reinforcement bar through it.
