Twin Busch 4.2t 2 Post Lift Installation

[Barking Mat]

I spoke to a government approved safety inspector, when he passed at work, I dragged him into the workshop, where I had assembled temporarily my four post lift, he looked it over, and recommended 25 cms of concrete, under the four legs, obviously he's going to er on the side of caution.

Indeed, buying the dispenser direct from Hilti is pretty extortionate if I'm honest but thankfully there is often a few for sale on eBay for considerably less. I'll most likely end up buying the majority of the stuff from eBay as for Hilti stuff it seems to be the way to do it for the lesser amounts for DIY guys like me who don't need a crate full.

I can lend you an applicator gun for the postage, if you don't find a cheap one.

That is a very generous offer indeed and I may take you up on that, would you happen to have to cartridge holders with the dispenser? I believe that for the HIT-RE adhesive I'd need the black HIT-CB 330. Also just to double check is it the below gun that you have? Of course the HDM 330, not 500 as in the picture.

 

[Dcal]

Yes, I've the smaller guns and the correct inserts for RE500

Hit 200 would work fine as well but I do like the RE500, a lot more time to work with and very forgiving.

The lift arrived last week which turned into a bit of an ordeal to get it home due to having to collect it from a large enough car park for the artic lorry to turn and having to borrow a trailer long enough. Thanks again @Dcal for the offer of the dispenser gun, I ended up scoring one on eBay with some resin cartridges for a very good price.

Slightly annoyingly in the month since having the concrete poured I've had some shrinkage and hairline cracks appear throughout the floor. Wonder if anyone could give some expert advice on how I should go about doing something about them? I was also told to wait 28 days per inch of concrete before painting the floor so will have to wait another almost 3 months before doing that job.

You can get a very thin epoxy resin for repairing and sealing cracks.
For what you have I'd just pour it on and let capillary action draw it in, but you can pump it with a grease gun.

Looks like its dried out too quickly and shrunk, as long as its stuck to whatever its been poured on it should be ok

Link to a repair resin.
Others are available, this is just one I have used in the past.

Hi 98_Martin have a look on Web for the term "Laitance". It might throw more light the upset you have. Good luck.
