If you are that concerned, then you could always cut/drill some pillars and fill with solid concrete for a decent pad.

The installer who is a full time hoist mechanic for workshops, highly recommended these for domestic use.

I didn't want to use spreader plates, and cutting into the slab when I already have to fork out for 3 new side lifters, and raising the rails x 3 on the panel lift doors.

But as you all use the Tufflift and seem to be happy with them I think I’ll head there.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi everyone.
I'm looking into a 4 post hoist for storage and to do basic work on my cars.
If you have a four poster, I'd be grateful if you could reply with what brand it is and your experiences with usage, maintenance, and features you love/hate or wish you had.
Thanks
Yep, I also have a 4post tufflift, the extra high version makes it perfect to park a daily underneath with no compromise.
i just added a sliding jack unit to it, which makes any wheels off work easy..

Thanks everyone.
Tufflift definitely seems to be the lift of choice.
I was also looking at the Aussie lift.
But as you all use the Tufflift and seem to be happy with them I think I’ll head there.
cheers
I almost certainly will have to use an autostacker in my stand alone garage - waffle pod slab
Gonna give tufflift a call to see if there is anything I'm missing.
Most house garages are done this way and I do not have a problem. If you are that concerned, then you could always cut/drill some pillars and fill with solid concrete for a decent pad. What kind of weight are you thinking of lifting?
Just going off the engineers drawing for the slab, the top over the voids is only 85mm. The autostacker is the only thing that I've seen spec wise that comes close at 88mm. I was just being cautious. I didn't want to use spreader plates, and cutting into the slab when I already have to fork out for 3 new side lifters, and raising the rails x 3 on the panel lift doors.
I'll leave the GTS on the floor, so the most weight would be around 1500kg. Spoke with Bendpak initially and they were all about cutting the slab till I asked about the autostacker.
Not an engineer so stuffed if I know
