We can lift anything! With a range of lifts from l0,000lbs to l00,000lbs it is hard to find a vehicle we can’t pick up.
This Architect gave us a special challenge. Bays that were not wide enough for the lifts to be set in a line and a second floor installation. Additionally the concrete floor would be attached to the steel deck via thousands of steel shear pins. First , we re-set the layout to position the lifts so that there would be room for the techs to get around.
Our solution included Laying the entire lift plan out on the steel deck. We spray painted the position of each lag bolt we would use to install the lifts. They welded the shear pins around our bolt plan. They then poured concrete and tiled the entire floor. Our plan was used to install the lifts and not a single shear pin was hit during install!
The final result was exactly what the customer was looking for!
Problem. Our customer wanted to create an indoor customer drop off. Unfortunately, this could potentially clog the only entrance to the shop. The techs would have to either back into the shop via the exit or wait for the customer drive thru to clear.
Problem Solved. Using CAD we redesigned their layout. We found that by moving the tool boxes and benches from the front to the sides of each bay, we could gain 30” of depth per bay. That effectively made the shop 5’ wider. Again we used the actual turning radius of their brand vehicles. The additional width allows access to the lifts from either direction.
We re-designed the lift layout. We got just the right angle. Now every car or truck can make the lifts in a single turn. Problem Solved!!
We took a harder look. Using the actual wheelbases for vehicles from the OEM brand of this dealership, we determined the lift layout would require a multipoint turn to make any lift.. Also the alignment rack was incorrectly sized and does not work.
This is an example of the original Architects' plans. At first look all appears to be fine. The bays appear to be adequately spaced. The alignment rack appears to be a tight fit but manageable.
