Anchoring the Posts
If you are going to, but have not done so already, you need to anchor the Lift’s four Posts. Install one
Anchor Bolt in each corner of each Base Plate, 16 Anchor Bolts total. Anchoring is optional.
Concrete specifications are:
• Depth: 4.25 in (108 mm) thick
• PSI: 3,000 PSI, minimum
• Cured: 28 days, minimum
Anchor Bolt specifications are:
• Length: 4.75 in (120.5 mm)
• Diameter: .75 in (19 mm)
• Anchor Torque: 85 – 95 pound feet (do not Torque less than 80 or more than 105)
⚠ WARNING Your Concrete and Anchor Bolts must meet these specifications. Only install your
Lift on a Concrete surface. If you install a Lift on asphalt or any other surface, or
your Concrete or Anchor Bolts do not meet these specifications, it could lead to
product damage, Vehicle damage, personal injury, or even loss of life.
BendPak Lifts are supplied with installation instructions and Concrete fasteners meeting the criteria as
prescribed by the current version of the American National Standard “Automotive Lifts – Safety
Requirements for Construction, Testing, and Validation” ANSI/ALI ALCTV.
⚠ WARNING Use only the Anchor Bolts that came with your Lift. If you use components from a
different source, you void your warranty and compromise the safety of everyone
who installs or operates the Lift.
Lift buyers are responsible for conforming to all regional, structural, and seismic anchoring
requirements specified by any other agencies and/or codes, such as the Uniform Building Code and/or
International Building Code.
To anchor the Posts:
1. Locate the hardware you will need: four Anchor Bolts, four Nuts, and four washers
per Post .
2. Using the Base Plates as guides, drill the holes for the Anchor Bolts—one hole in each corner of
the Base Plate, so four holes total per Base Plate.
Go in straight, in the center of the hole; do not let the drill wobble.
Use a carbide bit (conforming to ANSI B212.15).
The diameter of the drill bit must be the same as the diameter of the Anchor Bolt. So if you are
using a ¾ inch diameter Anchor Bolt, for example, use a ¾ inch diameter drill bit.
