GrandPrix (GP-7 Series) Two-Post Lifts 19 P/N 5900209 — August 2018 — Rev. C2
Installing the Posts
We strongly recommend having multiple people working together to install the posts.
Concrete specifications are:
• Depth: 4.25 inches thick
• PSI: 3,000 PSI, minimum
• Cured: 28 days, minimum
Anchor Bolt specifications are:
• Length: 6.25 inches
• Diameter: ¾ inch
• Effective embedment: 3.25 inches, minimum
• Anchor torque: 110 – 150 foot pounds
⚠ WARNING Your Concrete and Anchor Bolts must meet these specifications. Only install your
lift on a Concrete surface. If you install a lift on asphalt or any other surface, or your
Concrete or Anchor bolts do not meet these specifications, it could lead to product
damage, vehicle damage, personal injury, or even loss of life.
BendPak lifts are supplied with installation instructions and concrete fasteners meeting the criteria as
prescribed by the American National Standard “Automotive Lifts – Safety Requirements for
Construction, Testing, and Validation” ANSI/ALI ALCTV-2006.
⚠ WARNING Use only the ALI-certified Anchor Bolts that came with your GP-7 Series lift. If you
use components from a different source, you void your warranty and compromise
the safety of everyone who installs or uses the lift.
Lift buyers are responsible for conforming to all regional, structural, and seismic anchoring
requirements specified by any other agencies and/or codes, such as the Uniform Building Code and/or
International Building Code.
Tip Consider
not torqueing the Anchor Bolts into position quite yet. Two reasons: installing
the Top Trough and doing final leveling may be easier if there is a little play in the posts.
To install the posts:
1. Using a forklift, crane, or heavy-duty rolling dolly, move the posts to the Chalk Line Guides you
created earlier.
2. Stand up each post, one at a time, and move the appropriate corners into the corners created by
the Chalk Line Guides.
3. Double check your measurements against the Specifications for your GP-7 Series lift model:
 Distance from back of one base plate to back of other base plate: Width Overall value
 Distance from inside of one post to inside of other post: Inside Posts value
