P-9000LTF Only: Prepare the Concrete Cutouts
It is important to understand the following before creating the Concrete Cutouts for your Lift:
• A Flush-Mount Lift is one that sits in a recessed section of the floor, called a Concrete Cutout.
• Concrete Cutouts must be created in a
concrete floor; no other surface (asphalt, dirt, anything
else) is acceptable.
• Concrete Cutouts must be a specific depth below the rest of the floor so when the Flush-Mount
Lift is put down into the Concrete Cutout, the top of the Lift’s Platforms are flush with the floor.
• To install a Flush-Mount Lift, you must create the Concrete Cutouts in advance, unless you already
have Concrete Cutouts of the exact right dimensions.
• You need to create your Concrete Cutouts at least a month in advance, as the concrete must cure
for at least 28 days before it is strong enough to support Anchor Bolts.
• There are three important factors to keep in mind if you are creating Concrete Cutouts: the
concrete depth
below the bottom of the Concrete Cutouts must be deep enough for the
Anchor Bolts, the size of the two rectangles must be big enough to fit the Bases of the Lift, and
you need a method of connecting the Air and Hydraulic Lines to the Console.
NOTICE Installing a Flush-Mount Lift requires greater concrete depth. The Concrete Cutouts
must be recessed the height of the Base plus Platform and then
have the required
4.25 inches of concrete depth below the bottom of the Concrete
Cutouts
(for the Anchor Bolts).
• Regarding the Air and Hydraulic Lines: because the Lift’s bases are recessed, the Air and
Hydraulic Lines start out recessed as well. Your plans for the Concrete Cutouts need to account
for how the Lines will be routed to the Console.
Some people use PVC tubing to create a connection between the two Bases using the Hose
Routing Rings on the inside of the Lift when they are creating their Concrete Cutouts. This allows
the Air and Hydraulic Lines to be routed between the two Bases.
To connect to the Console, some people use PVC tubing to create a connection between the
Console and the Hose Routing Ring on the Base closest to the Console. Other customers use the
round Access Hole in the Base between the two Hose Routing Rings. The Access Hole is
frequently used when the Lift is installed over a pit.
Consult with your concrete specialist
prior to creating your Concrete Cutouts.
• There are certain decisions you have to make before you create your Concrete Cutouts: where the
Lift is going to go, where the Console will be (and thus how far away from the Lift it will be), and
how far apart the two Bases will be.
• Regarding the distance between the two Bases: The P-9000LT/F can be from 36 to 42 inches
(914 to 1,066 mm) apart. You need to decide how far apart you want your Bases
before you
create your Concrete Cutouts.
Important: BendPak strongly recommends consulting with your concrete specialist prior to
creating your Concrete Cutouts.
