What happens here

With the posts properly positioned and preliminarily leveled, the anchor bolt locations are marked through the base plates. A Milwaukee hammer drill with a 3/4-inch bit is used to drill the holes. The depth finder on the drill bit is set to ensure the anchor bolts are seated to the required depth of 3.5 to 4 inches, meeting the lift's specifications for secure installation. After drilling, the holes are ready for the anchor bolts.

Goal: Using a hammer drill with a 3/4 inch bit, holes are drilled into the concrete slab to accommodate the anchor bolts for securing the lift posts.

the appropriate position we have to put this plate down in between and a cable runs underneath there and a hydraulic line runs underneath there that's as far as we've gotten so far but I wanted to tell you guys exactly how we did it and how we lined everything up so it's all appropriately done you do need to read the specs for the thickness of the concrete this requires at least four and a half inches of thickness on the concrete and the anchor bolts need to be set at least three and a quarter inches and we are set to three and a half so that's it we're going to move this into position take our measurements we're going to measure twice and drill once we're gonna take a hammer drill with a three quarter inch bit go down in there drill out our holes and mount this thing
