general service work, a 2 post is best, but any time your working with suspension angles or allignment.. it'll have to be done on the floor

The base is pretty big for a two post, at least it is for mine, and they said 4" is find you just want to stay far enough away from the expansion joints. I've been using mine since 2001 and the nuts are still just as tight. I bought the 10,000 lb. didn't need that big but if you do you have it. My ceiling is 10' I wanted to raise it to 12' by the lift but haven't got around to it. Check for free shipping, and on mine I had to unload it myself, so be ready or ask first.

They are bolted, with anchors in the concrete. The side lifts have a large floor plate on the bottom which is anchor to the ground.

I welded frame for a hoist on my 3/4 ton with a snowplow on the front. It was heavy to say the least, it came it two crates. When I got close to the garage I used my heavy-duty cherry picker to get it in the garage. Another hard part was trying to figure out the best location. Being asymmetric took more lines on the floor to get everything right. I set the lift up by myself I ran the electric also, it's great when something works like it's suppose to when you have never done it before. My wife always wants to help but I figure I've been hurt so many times. I don't want her to get hurt so I struggle until I get it.

You get a step-by-step instruction booklet, and they give you everything you need except a strong back!! Of course you have to wire it up.
