Inline Engineering has prepared construction drawings for the installation and retrofit of many vehicle lifts in commercial and industrial applications.
Single piston lift systems usually require a pier foundation with concrete placed at the top and bottom. The vertical support is provided through direct soil bearing at the bottom of the pier. The lateral support is provided by soil passive pressures at the top and bottom.
Double post lift systems typically require a bolted connection to a new or existing concrete foundation. The foundation requirements are dependant on the lift capacity and on the amount of eccentricity. The eccentricity and overturning at the base of a two-post lift may require foundations up to 12 inches thick with significant reinforcing steel. In some cases, the existing floor slab is adequate to support a 2-post lift.
Four post lift systems require a bolted connection to a new or existing concrete footing. The loading to the posts is axial and the foundation requirements are normally based on direct soil bearing pressures. It is common for an existing commercial floor slab to provide adequate support for a 4-post lift.
