Hi Guys! Anyone out there have any lifts in their shops? Been thinking about a 12000# 2 post. Made in the usa? Is this possable? Have heat in the floor, 8'' down. How do these mount? Is 4 post better? Have 12' ceilings. Thanks Bob
 
a 12,000lb lift would probably need at least ten inches of concrete for a two post. The holes have to be all the way thru, at least on the ones I've seen. Would this interfere with your heat pipes? A four post wouldn't need as much concrete, but is 12 foot high enough to lift a large 4x4 or van? Sounds tight to me.
 
follow the manufacturers recommendations and you should be ok. 4 post wont let you take the wheels off a car without raising them again with a separate jack.. but i think 4 post good for storeing a car on top of another car or just doing oil changes and such.i have a 2 post 9000 and manufacturer recomended 6 inches of concrete, i have 8" .lucas
 
I agree, 12' seems low for that sized lift but I put a lift in two years ago (16' ceiling) and it is a great addition. Wouldn't be without it even if I was stuck with a lower ceiling
 
I have a 2 post #9000 lift it's reversed and the cable run's under a plate on the floor. I have only 10'high ceiling, I can put a small car all the way up, but have to sit on a creeper chair to work under a truck. It's better than on your back on the ground brake job's perfect height. Don't be too concerned about the height you have, it is what it is. my .02
 
you have to drill holes for anchor bolts if you hit your heat you know what happens next (fix or no heat) I put one in a few months back and can't remember what the depth was to drill. A 8000# lift should do great for a home lift unless you plan on lifting a diesel 1 ton or the like.
