I read Brian's post and fully agree with what he said, and that's assuming that the concrete is capable of that load - I know my garage doesn't have that good of a floor.

In my garage I would be concerned with the quality of the floor concrete if I hadn't seen it poured myself and know for sure the thickness and what lies under it as far as underlayment, what strength concrete was used by the contractor and how well it was rebarred, vibrated and floated. A fully dressed out iron headed and intaked 460 with a C6 has to weigh in at over 1000 pounds. Then hang that monster at the end of a 4-6 foot or longer lever,thats 8-10 feet high and has a 100# electric hoist....... Of course, I'm one of those folks that have the idea that when nailing two pieces of wood together with two nails will work fine, will always go back and add 4-5 more, JIC
