You should have waited for the glue to harden and then retorque the nuts later to prevent the anchor from lifting up. Also on a front wheel drive you should keep the front arm shorter than the rear one to help balancing the car in order to get a better vertical load applied on the 2 posts lift.
Great video, have you ever noticed the top bend in just a little with a heavy vehicle? Curious, mine does maybe 1/2 inch at the top, is that typical? My base is super tight
Absolutely not! Floor Plate lifts have no top cross member to counteract the tendency of the posts to want to collapse inward. Simply distributing weight on metal plates does not do anything to stop the post from wanting to collapse inward. All 2 post lifts need to be anchored into the proper thickness of concrete otherwise you'll have a death wish.

Thanks for your advice
My lift was advertised as 1 lever for unlocking both safety latches, but it must be like yours, pull a ring on each side, true. Damn crooks.
Good job !

The movement of the struts is not visible with the eyes. I haven't measured it. Cars that i lift, not weigh more than two tons.
@@Westcoastdigger thank you!!!! Really appreciate the help
Hey, i have 10 centimeters of concrete! I will need more 10 right? I can do a "footings" so? To reinforce the lifter?
If the concrete is strong enough and with reinforcement, then 10 cm will withstand the lift.
And use chemical anchor.
If i don't have a concrete floor, can i just lay a very thick steel plate on the floor instead to distribute the wight?
Probably yes, but it's will be really big plate to connect both posts.

what did you pump down into the holes?
Glue, chemical anchor.
Cik biezs betons vajadīgs? Marka 25-30 der?
8cm vismaz. tik jaudīgs betons nav vajadzīgs.
Marku šeit neatceros, biezums grīdai apmēram 10cm, kā vietām. Zem pacēlāja kājam ir biezākas pēdas.
Ok, tad ar 25 cm esmu on safe side

I don't remember. About 4-5"
Under the posts are 1m2 and 50cm thick concrete
