Re: 2 post lift near shrink cracks??
Thats a lot of cracks. Your floor has issues. I personally wouldnt put a car on a lift and stand under it on that floor. I have seen a lift rip out of the floor due to bad concrete and its scary.

Re: 2 post lift near shrink cracks??
I don't know a lot about structural things but I have a two
post and a crack-free old floor. My building leaks like a sieve but the floor is unaffected nor is the hoist. I would personally do the following: 1. Talk to your contractor (even if you have to visit in person) and have him fix your floor. Did he know you were putting in a lift? if so... 2. If you need your lift now, cut out patches, set deep footings for the hoist and bill the contractor. When he rebuilds your floor, make him work around your hoist. Good luck and keep us posted. |

Re: 2 post lift near shrink cracks??
You need a foundation expert for that floor. That is a lot of cracks for a fairly new floor. If Dallas is anything like Houston then this dry spell isn't helping
