    Default Advice, epoxy floors/4-post lift.

    I currently have an epoxy floor in my garage, but, its a bit old/weathered and needs to be re-done. I am also going to be buying & having a 4-post lift installed. Should I have the lift installed before re-doing the floors, or do the floors first?

    Thanks!

    Floors first so everything is covered first and under where it mounts. that way if you ever change the lift in the future it will all match

    I don't have any advice on the floor (I did polyurea and I would not recommend that), but I'd be interested in knowing what lift you went with and who's installing it? I know that prices are going up soon due to the tariffs and a 4 post is on my wish list.

    That makes sense now that I think about it, a lot of 4 posts aren't even anchored.

    Buy a 4 post now and use it till you do the floors.

    As stated, you can roll the hoist outside

    I have yet to buy a lift, but was planning to buy one / get installed from Aresco. My friend got a Chinese one installed for cheap, and is happy with it.

    I won't need it for a while, but, if prices are going up, perhaps I should.

    I was going to get a bendpak but a friend got an off-brand one installed for around 2k, I felt like that was a pretty good deal.

    I got a 4 post from Aresco in Pontiac. 8000 lb, extra long, extra tall, about $2400. Had them assemble it too. As was mentioned it comes with a caster kit so you can wheel it around.
