It is quite possible that the thickness specified above is for unreinforced slabs, to resist the punching shear of the ramp post.
If you put two layers of staggered A393 in the bottom, say a sheet cut in half centred under each post, a standard slab would likely be OK. Two sheets of mesh may be less hassle than a local thickening.

24” sounds way excessive for a recommended thickness - I’ve a mate who used to work for Maha and just pinged him a message - he said even for bigger lifts he had never heard of that depth being specified, for bigger truck lifts it’s 12” and smaller ones was 4 or 6” depending on size/capacity. He used to install car and truck garage equipment for a living and even commercial truck places wouldn’t have floors that depth.

Reinforced concrete and fibres probably used instead of 2foot of concrete.
If you wanted to be safe just do a 1m cube underneath each post, with anchor bolts that extend down into the concrete like you could a steel frame building.

May be excessive on a four poster but two posters can have a fair bit of cantilever on them. Most commercials are front heavy when unladen, this might be why they go a bit belt and braces on the concrete for the two poster. The car one in the cave is only on six inches of concrete but I know what's under it, it's sat on eighteen inches of compacted chalk.

Should be more than adequate. The key to footing stability is compaction, ideally digging into "undisturbed" ground. A metre square is about the size we used for a number of pads installed for the 40 foot columns of an over head crane in one of Lockheed Aircraft's production hangers.

I noticed that, it just looks like really bad spelling."Warm de bouillon op in een pan."
I can understand it.

Probably "Fry the shiitakes in a frying(?)pan with 1 something (Teaspoon?) of oil"
To be honest I probably could keep it, it wouldn't take long to google and learn any words I can't guess, but it won't cost me anything to return it and I've got enough to do without trying to half learn a new language.

Your only problem now is where in Moscow on Thames to find some beton.

I had a 2.0TS spec one of those from new in 2004 (company car) - I did 120,000 miles in it in 3 years (!) was a good motor, there was a bit of rattle from the clutch when I gave it back but never had anything else go wrong in the time I had it. Well equipped and comfy tooBought a new car. Well new and new, Mazda 6 from 2005, but in good shape and low mileage, as long as we get a few years out of it. I a nice, boring A-B car for the family. I like Mazdas personally, always been reliable cars.

Just get the google translate app on your phone. Hover it over the page and it translates it as you read it.

This is certatinly the easiest way. As I'm from Dutch decent I use that method as a last resort, as I feel that I ought to be fluent so I try to do the while thing in Dutch first. Generally I fail miserably though, as my grasp of Dutch is pretty "onzin"!
