I'm getting really close to pulling the trigger on one of these but I don't know the depth of my dad's shop's slab. I heard these require a certain minimum of concrete to be "safe". Is this true? Since you put yours in the ground, I'm sure yours is fine, but for the guy with the blue one, you mentioned you have a "post-tension" setup. Are you worried at all about slab depth with one of these lifts?

Hi stateofidleness,

No worries for me. Our garage slab is over 8" thick. But I read that they recommend at least a 5" thick slab of level concrete.

Here is the link to manual for the one I purchased. On Page 6, #5 it states this.

You will be glad you got it when you do
