1. How do you test to see if your cement is re-inforced ie.rebarr
2. whats the minimum garage height to install one of these?
3. It's called spacing and plumbing the columns.
4. Wonderful, video, thanks
5. I do this for a living epoxy is not recommended anchor should hold on its own epoxy is last ditch effort if you cant torque one or two anchors and this is per benpak and rotary not a cheap titan if concrete wont hold anchor cut it out 
6. it's amazing how cheap these are!!!
7. Nice!
8. concrete isn't supposed to be level dummy
9. Epoxy is the way to go for sure
10. Greeeeze the slides!!
11. I put in a Titan 9000# lift myself, and used epoxy from Menards. It was $13.00 a tube and it was superb. It is as serious an epoxy as that which Ian is using. I also didn't care for the cheap anchors that came with the lift, so I went to Fastenal and bought 10" anchor bolts, (real good ones and I have a thick floor). I have a 2003 1500hd 4 door 4x4 Silverado, and it lifts it great, never slows going up, and I put a level on the towers to see if it moved with the truck on it. NOPE. She's solid and unwavering, even with the truck on it. If you are looking at buying a lift, I would say one thing. Look at how big around the swing arm bolts are. The Titan I bought has massive ones. Whichever brand you buy, make sure they are the big ones.
12. Excellent and very detailed video.
13. why 2 men, 2 women can do the job just as well, if not better, in my years of Esperance.. they do a much neater job?
14. Looks like a cheap China lift concrete is the least of your worries
15. So you don't use any shims in the final installation, only during setup?
16. I was only 8 minutes into this clip when I clearly see this is a EXCEPTIONAL installation clip, although I already have a installed lift in the home we bought, IF I was to install another I would use this as a go by!! GREAT tip about the epoxy!!
17. How do I determine the size of the lift needed... I own a Ford F 250 Heavy Duty Extended Cab that weighs 6000 LBS.
18. if you drill a hole that is too shallow then you just take a fucking angle grinder and cut the damn excess sticking out the ground to proper length. Then you just make sure you drill the next hole deeper then the first.
19. No PPE what so ever. LOVE IT!
20. You do not use Teflon tape on fittings where the seal is not established by the threads such as MPT or National Pipe Thread. Typically the hose fittings used on hydraulic systems are JIC. The seal is established on the conical face of the male and female fittings. If you use Teflon tape or pipe dope it is very easy for this material to obstruct the sealing face which can cause a leak. Worse if a piece of tape or pipe dope breaks off it will enter the hydraulic system and clog the tiny orifices in valves, regulators, reliefs and counterbalance.
