It's not an issue of punching through the concrete but being able to hold the posts down while a car is in the air.




absolutely true for a two post lift, but a four post may be ok, stability wise ? shruggy

When in doubt, check with the manufacturer callme
My Dannmar (bought out by Bendpak) four-post lift came with anchors, but since it's also usable with casters, they don't require it to be bolted down. The bottom plates on the post are a foot square and they don't go anywhere regardless of the load or car height shruggy
(Also I have a 6" slab of 4000 psi reinforced concrete).
